Movie Reviews of Sleepaway Camp II - Unhappy Campers
Movie Review: Why did it take me so long to find out about Sleepaway Camp?....
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing only parts 1 and 2 of this series, I honestly think that SLEEPAWAY CAMP is THE finest example of the slasher subgenre. First of all, its a franchise with at least 3 sequels, it spanned the 1980's, its fairly cheesy, and best of all, Angela, the series "Jason/Freddy" type killer is completely unique because she/he is a transvestitte who's story, while completely over the top and very unlikely to ever happen, is actually a really good reason for someone to go out and kill people. I mean, think about it, if you were a child with gay "parents" and you saw your father and sister killed by reckless teenagers and then, as a boy, were raised as a "girl" by a freaky aunt who behaves as if she's in a high school theatre production you'd be screwed up hardcore. To complicate matters, at fourteen, your crazy aunt sends you away to a trashy camp for kids populated by snotty bitches, perverts, and man bullies who pick on you at every chance. Then you fall in love with a nice boy, but WHAT CAN YOU DO? your a guy, you probabley think all of those mean girls are hot, but you don't want to screw up a chance at a nurturing, healthy relationship that you've needed all your life. So after the pressures of killing your enemies in a psychotic rage, you decide to see if the guy who likes you can really like the real you, and after his bad reaction to your secret, you snap completely, kill him and are arrested. To me that sounds like a better reason for a spree than being "pure evil" like Freddy or Michael Myers, or because your just a zombie like Jason, or because you want revenge over some petty misdeed that happened years ago like the guys in movies like "Prom Night" or "the Prowler". In SC 2, Angela has gotten a job as a camp counselor after a sex change and rehabilitation. Of course thats a stupid thing to do. The thing is, all Angela wants is to be normal and healthy. She also wants the campers to never take their normal and healthy lives for granted. When she goes on another spree, its because after all her years of "readjustment" and thinking positive and "opening up and not being so damn shy" she is still being pushed around by the same snotty, undeserving brats that tormented her at camp arawak. My favorite thing in this movie is when Angela is fired and Molly finds her at the cabin and tries to comfort her and Angela is all "There was a boy that I didn't get along with once, I fixed him...I drowned him". I wholeheartedly recommend this film to slasher fans because of the excessively human killer and the great montage of gorey deaths, nudity, humor, and fantastic one-liners, which all combined is usually absent in slasher movies.
