Sleepaway Camp

The trilogy of SLEEPAWAY CAMP horror movies.
SLEEPAWAY CAMP
What superficially appears to be an ordinary '80s horror flick is actually, upon deeper inspection, something much more bizarre. Angela's family is killed in a boating accident and she gets sent away for the summer to Camp Arawak. Employees and campers start dropping like flies in increasingly odd 'accidents'. Hints of incest, transsexuality, and homo-eroticism lie beneath the surface in this story of a summer camp with a twist--the gob-smacking revelation of the murderer's identity.
SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2
Angela's back in this sequel to the 1983 cult favourite. It's five years later and the grisly murders that terrorised Camp Arawak have become the favourite ghost story around Camp Rolling Hills. Unfortunately for these campers, Angela (Pamela Springsteen, sister of Bruce), is now a counsellor at Camp Rolling Hills who is eager to mortally reprimand any of the naughty young campers who break her rules. Full of gratuitous nudity, bad haircuts, and even worse dialogue, SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2 is an entertaining sequel, though it is much different than the creepy original.
SLEEPAWAY CAMP 3
Angela returns once again in this third installment of the popular SLEEPAWAY CAMP series. Here, Angela joins Camp New Horizon, an organization that brings rich and poor teenagers together for a weekend of sharing, after she kills her lookalike, and takes her place. It isn't long before the other campers begin ridiculing Angela and history begins to repeat itself. Just as entertaining as the second film in the series, TEENAGE WASTELAND follows the lead of its predecessor and places the emphasis on campy fun, gore, and gratuitous nudity rather than the creepy atmosphere of the original.

    Um....

    I have to say with all the 'underrated' and 'cult classic' labels given this film I was massivly disappointed.

    The film looks and feels like what 'the Rocky Horror Picture Show' would've been if it tried to be serious. It's comparrisons to 'Friday the 13th' are an insult to the Voorhees family (and you dont wanna do that).

    I seriously sat through the film wondering why I was still watching it and condeming all the good reviews I read about the film.

    But... then the end scene blew me away! It was such a shock to see such an awesome and shocking ending come out of such a dull film. Watch just for the end!!!

    Nice Mauser

    So crap, it is a waste of your time, but the polieman's mauser, now that is classic. Avoid, unless you want to see a moustache that escaped from the set of 'Allo Allo'
