I really dug the original Sleepaway Camp, and, as a sequel, I don't really think this flick works. But as a movie, on its own, unconnected to the original, I think it stands on its own two feet in a very enjoyable way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-87442686955372467022009-10-21T06:06:55.031-04:002009-10-21T06:06:55.031-04:00How can you hate Angela?

But I have to admit, Ally's were quite easy to assess.<br /><br />Darius: I see you like Danielle Fishel. Very interesting. Anyway, yeah, give it a try. Nudity. Kills.

The reason you don't see her love partner in a lot of the shots is that the male actor was in fact underage (17, I think they said), and so they had to have a stand-in (lie-in?) for those shots. <br /><br />She's definitely one of my favorite things about the movie, though. Not only hot and uninhibited but also so gleefully nasty and hateful. Just what I look for in a woman.<br /><br />You're right about Springsteen's winning portrayal here too. For me Part 3 suffered from diminishing returns, but 1 and 2 are just great fun slashers.<br /><br />Also--is it this one or part 3 that has the lead counselor guy with the truly amazing curled mullet? Worth the price of admission. :)The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-30193079388560181642009-08-04T12:14:13.705-04:002009-08-04T12:14:13.705-04:00I have seen surprisingly few '80s slasher film...I have seen surprisingly few '80s slasher films.
