| This popular '80's teen slasher flick is one of the more disturbing films I've had to sit through, leaving more chills down my spine than any other horror movie ever did to me. The acting and dialogue are ridiculous, but writer/director Robert Hiltzik (who dedicates this film to his mom) develops a creepy atmosphere throughout, the death scenes are original and gruesome, and I guarantee you that the ending will turn you into an insomniac. E-mail me if it doesn't scare the hell out of you. At Camp Arawak, Ricky is hoping his silent niece Angela will have a great time, but all the people keep on giving the poor girl a hard time since she doesn't speak much. When dead bodies begin piling on around the camp, is it Angela, Ricky, one of the counselors, or some other weirdo camper slashing their way through the camp? The film keeps you guessing right up to the clever, fucked up little twist in the end that will surprise anyone watching. The faults are that it is a bit slow in spots and the acting is horrible, though Felissa Rose is excellent as Angela, especially with her creepy stare. This movie marks as one of the scariest films I've ever seen. Followed by two campy sequels. |

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
 | Camp counselors don't send campers home when murders happen around the camp.
| | Hair curlers can be used as weapons.
| | All chefs at camps are pedophiles who consider kids as "baldies."
| | Don't fall for the mind over matter trick.

| Artie gets his just desserts. Why didn't the moron just do a tuck and roll? Instead he grabbed that big pot of boiling water and pulled it down on top of himself.

Sleep Away Camp is definately a classic- so bad it's good. My moment of zen occured last Tuesday... while eating dinner I asked my date if he'd seen the movie (this actually is a good date question, since anyone who has sat through Sleep Away Camp can't be too uptight!) and he had... haha instant bond with a hottie- what more could I ask for?

This film is brilliant. It is so funny, we were completley naive that you could actually kill someone with a hair curler. Whoever wrote this is a genius, and whoever made this deserves a medal. See this if you like bad movies, the end is So Good. (Better than that milk that you can keep in your cupboard.)

I love all 3 of these... my friend and I were at the video store and we were looking for some good old horror movies that no one has ever heard of and we picked these up... the movie place acually had all 3... so anyways we watched them and they are now our favorite movies! I was looking for them the other day at blockbuster and no luck! I was really bummed, but I think that i will just have to resort to buying them... For anyone that hasn't seen all 3 of these great movies, you don't know what you're missing. Oh and by the way I don't think these are that scary I think they are hilarious!!! Like when they use fornicating instead of sex... HA

She has a sex change and wears weird underwear to hide the scars. She is in the third one, impersonating a girl she ran down with a dump truck.

This is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. I've never been the same since I saw it. A curling iron, for God's sake! Genius! The last moments are brilliant! Too bad the sequels were what they were. Sure, they tried to disturb us, what with the outhouse scene (woman drowns in feces and piss, MmmMmm), but instead just had me racking my brain, trying to figure out WHY! The original is a classic. I hope the talk about the new sequel is true.

One of the top most outstanding cheesies of all time. If this classic is your style, you should also checkout "Don't Go in the Woods", and "The Nail Gun Massacre". Their not quite as great but are very good.
