Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

geminiredblue *Sigh* The SLEEPAWAY CAMP series might very well be the worst in the slasher genre. The first one set the standard by having a (spoiler alert) little boy dressed as a girl who kills people... including other kids. The camp counselors were all sex offenders of one degree or another. And the ending was shocking beyond all belief, but not in a good way. It left one feeling grossed out and in need of a shower. PART 2 featured a wise cracking Pamela Springsteen dispatching 18 or so teens. Ho-hum. But of the original three, it was closest to being the best. PART 3: TEENAGE WASTELAND. The camp from the original has changed names twice now, but Angela keeps coming back to kill... and maim... and kill again. This time, they didn't even bother with a plot. Angela just goes around and kills again... and again... and AGAIN... AND AGAIN!!! It's mind-boggling when even the deaths feel like run-of-the-mill. Halfway through, you're guaranteed to lose interest... and possibly brain cells, consciousness, and any semblance of dignity. Do I make myself clear? STAY. CLEAR. OF. SLEEPAWAY. CAMP!!!

TheBlueHairedLawyer Teenage Wasteland certainly isn't as good as the first Sleepaway Camp, but it still has a lot to offer. Pamela Springsteen is back from the second Sleepaway Camp film and is just as funny and disturbing in her role, playing the mass killer Angela Baker as she ends up in yet another adventure, pretending to be one of her murder victims at Camp New Horizons.Camp New Horizons, "an experiment in sharing" as the elderly pair of camp counselors like to call it, is a summer camp where snobby suburb teens are residing in groups with tough city kids. Angela quickly starts her business, beginning with murdering the pervy old camp counselor Herman while he makes love with one of the teenage campers. As the body count builds up, Angela comes face to face with an old enemy, the cop who arrested her back in '83, officer Barney Whitmore.You can definitely see the era this was made in while watching it, unlike in the previous two. Angela's killings are unpredictable though, from giving a news reporter some highly corrosive Ajax cleaning powder and telling her it's cocaine to snort, to tying a snotty racist girl to a flagpole and dropping her to the ground. It's hard though to see Angela as the antagonist in this one, since she only kills the sleazy, bigoted and annoying people (save for the cop). The acting was great, the soundtrack was decent enough, and Teenage Wasteland is definitely a great addition to the Sleepaway Camp series.(One of the characters was named SnowBoy though, which I'll never understand).

Sandcooler "Sleepaway Camp III" is pretty much exactly the same movie as "Sleepaway II", but on the other hand it's more like the backwash of its predecessor. This makes sense, given that both sequels were shot back to back. The structure of the movie is very similar (i.e. none), but this time around there are just so many shortcuts taken when it comes to the writing. Given that Angela Baker is hardly Jason Voorhees her murders have to be based around the element of surprise or clever manipulations, but for the most part the screenwriter just couldn't be bothered with writing either of those. So we see Angela merely walking up to a guy and somehow beating him to death with a branch, even though she strikes with the power of a six-year-old. Another victim dies because she's dropped from a flagpole and for some reason tries to break the fall with her head. One guy even gets shot, a slasher can't get much lamer than that. Oh, and then there are the "trust games". God knows what those are supposed to be, but they conveniently all involve someone to be blindfolded and tied up. Giving Angela a vengeful nemesis (much like in "Friday The 13th: Final Chapter) is an interesting addition, but in the end absolutely nothing is done with it (also much like in "Friday the 13th: Final Chapter", come to think about it). I didn't hate this movie, but I did like it less than the much less forced part II.

The_Void Production of the second sequel to 1983's surprisingly good slasher Sleepaway Camp began immediately after production finished on the first sequel, and sees director Michael A. Simpson, writer Fritz Gordon and star Pamela Springsteen reunited. Sleepaway Camp 2 took me by surprise; not being a fan of the slasher genre in general, I didn't go into it with high hopes; but found it to be a very fun and worthwhile entry into the overpopulated slasher genre. This sequel is at least as good as the second part; if not slightly better! The plot is somewhat more unbelievable...but who cares? We once again focus on homicidal transsexual Angela Baker. She's not given up on her life mission of murdering kids that go to camp, and thus the opening of Camp New Horizons; on the same site where she murdered a bunch of kids a year earlier, does not escape her attention. Angela manages to secure the identity of one of the kids due at camp; and doesn't waste any time upon her arrival as she immediately gets to work dispatching her fellow campers.Undoubtedly the main reason why the two Sleepaway Camp sequels work so well is due to the lead performance from Pamela Springsteen. Obviously, it's not exactly a heavyweight role; but Springsteen takes to it with relish and actually manages to be somewhat believable in the role. She's very entertaining too - her voice and demeanour are often captivating. The most important thing for a lot of people going into slashers will be the kill scenes; and this one isn't a let down in that respect; as Angela utilises a variety of weapons to dispatch her victims - the best of which include a flag pole, a lawnmower and a rap tape! The body count is nothing to sniff at, either. The film puts together a good support cast too; the idea of the camp bringing together rich kids and poor kids is put to good use with an assortment of interesting and amusing characters. It all boils down to a suitably amusing ending and while this film is not exactly life changing; it does represent a good fun time and I'm sure it will be enjoyed by anyone that liked the earlier films in the series.
