Watch Return to Sleepaway Camp For Free

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

As Good As It Gets

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This movie so awful. It got a 4.4 but it is such a bad 4.4 is overrating it. This movie has an awful story line. The ending is awful. The acting is awful. The first Sleep away camp movie is better and that is awful. Sleep away camp II the unhappy campers is better and is an awful movie. Sleep away camp III teenage wast land is a better movie and that is an awful. Do not see this movie. It is very stinky pooh pooh. I give 2 out of 10 because it is really pooh pooh. Do not see this awful movie. This movie is not scary. The characters in this movie are awful. Do not wast your time. And do not wast your money. Do not see this movie it is pooh pooh.

This has got to be one of the WORST horror movie I have ever seen in my life, and that is very rare coming from me. I've rated every horror movie I reviewed expect for this one. Alan was the most annoying fatass that got on my nerves. I just wanted to stop watching, but I wanted to see the rest of the movie since i've seen the first three movies. I can't believe it was the sheriff that was angela is the first place. Talk about being weak. I can't believe I watched the entire movie. I think my iq dropped. At least the second one was good, i wouldn't recommend the first or third movie. Trust me, you will thank me. the guy that came back from the first movie is really old and used up looking. Like he's been hitting the drugs hard.

I was truly looking forward to this being a HUGE fan of the original and was devastated once the DVD had reached the five minute mark.I kept checking the box to make sure I had been sent the right movie. A $4 million budget, what the hell did they spend it on - catering???!!! - ços the money sure isn't up there on the screen.Cheaply shot, badly graded, sloppily edited, appallingly scored, a script that sounds like it was scratched down quickly on the back of a piece of toilet paper and the piece de resistance is the DIABOLICALLY BAD performances by a truly inept cast of nobodies.What was Robert Hiltzik thinking? He should have just left well enough alone and not tarnished the reputation of the ground breaking original.Avoid at all costs.

I only recently saw the original Sleepaway Camp maybe half a year ago and overall was not very impressed. I can see why it's garnered such a vehement following --- it has all the required elements, down to an ending that truly is pretty freaking well-done in its depravity --- but it's at best a B-tier copycat to slashers of the era that had better actors and plots. SC was always kind of a local Summer Stock production set in Jersey...and that's not a total knock.That said, I have to admit that this 2008 (released) direct-to-video sequel by Hiltzik is a nice tongue-firmly-in-cheek constantly-winking in-joke. It's also somewhat of a genius move as it excuses the director from bringing any sort of commercial appeal to the outing at all. it's nothing more than a love letter to the fans who gave him a (sort of) career.Is that so wrong? Well, not really, if you know what you're getting yourself into.I wasn't expecting horror and didn't get it. What I did get was an almost chaotically paced hybrid of Porky's and a parody of the original Sleepaway Camp. It's so off-the-charts amateurish and intentionally bad at times that it's like a car crash...it's fascinating. One of the most original things Hiltzik does with this film is take absolutely nothing seriously except for the Legend of Sleepaway Camp.That means the head counselor, played by NY vet Vincent Pastore, can cut in bits and pieces of Sorpranos shtick when he's not winking at the camera (yo, can you believe I'm IN this s***?). It means the lead "protagonist" (ha!) can be the Most Annoying Fat A**hole Kid in History, and that the deaths can cross the line into rip-roaring teen exploitational torture porn. Deaths this sick can't possibly be taken seriously, and Hiltzik knows it.The casting of Michael Gibney for the role of Alan is interesting for its almost snuff-film like sadisticness. If you get off seeing a fat kid tormented to the point of hysteria, this one's for you. But then again, it's probably why he's portrayed as such an over-the-top dickweed. Angela (Felissa Rose) had it easy by comparison in the original.Occasionally Hiltzik will surprise you. Casting Kate Simses as Petey was a good move considering her uncanny resemblance to Rose, and the ending, though not terribly original, may somewhat surprise you in its sheer South Park-esque audacity.Just don't go in expecting a serious legitimate film, and you'll have a good time. Kinda.
