It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The first three Sleepaway's weren't exactly great but this is just sad. The best thing about this movie is Isaac Hayes playing the chef, just like he did on South Park before he got all the wacky Scientology crap in his head. I could have done without the Sopranos "jokes". For a series that took pride in the silly ways that people got killed, they really dropped the ball in this one. The first death is an exact copy of the first death in the first movie. Weak. The rest just didn't seem like they would kill a person.What really sucked is that it was immediately obvious that the sheriff was either Jamie Kennedy or a woman, it was the worst disguise ever. Did I mention all the bad acting and things that don't make sense? Several times one of the guys says "Angela's back!". How can she be back if she was never at this camp? Just like any other part four, the only reason to watch this is if you have seen the first three.

After watching the original sleepaway camp, I tough i ll give this movie a try. God that movie was awful, it look liked it was filmed with a cell Phone with a bunch of retards. The story and the actors were terrible. I can't believe how a music legend like isaac hayes had accepted to start in this crap ( btw my favorite isaac hayes songs are "that loving feeling" and "ike rap 1 ") During the entire movie , U see this fat kid getting bullied and the weird thing is that he is also a bully. Seriously, if I was getting bullied like that, I would have sent all these morons to the nearest hospital. In fact, Im sure I could taken them pretty easy all by myself since they didn't even look that strong and were physically shorter than me . The kills in this movie were awful and at the same time funny, for example one of the camper who is a total idiot gets pierce in the eye. Then we have a bunch of people who can't even act ( if you can call that acting). The only ones that I like were Ricky and Angela since they were in the original movie. Never in my life I despised so many characters in a movie , they are unlikable and totally deserved their fate in the movie. Trust me do not waste you time on this movie.

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.

Wow, okay, I got Sleep Away Camp via netflix and felt minutes of my life wither away.. I sat in utter shock that I made it through that entire DVD sack of crap. However, I decided I would try and watch Return To Sleep Away Camp considering it was made in 2008 (figured time, advancement in technology and what not) would make it better.. Um, nope. I feel Like Alan (the mentally challenged kid in this flick that you just want to die).. I feel like the directors and producers just made fun of me through this whole flick.. The acting is putrid! And every one of the characters you want dead as soon as they speak or even appear on the screen.. I think the best acting came from the frogs in the woods..The movie offers nothing.. It offers no scares, the directing is a joke, the entire plot is so laughable. I mean come on, what camp anywhere in the United States has counselors who help torture mentally handicapped campers? They all help beat him, make fun of him and route the other campers on to torture him.. The other counselors stand around and laugh at him..There is a cop that for some reason they found necessary to have lost his larynx to cancer and has to speak via some kind of machine (like the character in south park) but it is SO annoying you hope the cop gets his head blown off instantly. And, this cop is such a good cop he does no investigations in to the disappearance of a cook and a camper, the counselor is fried to death is a huge vile of boiling grease, and a camper has gasoline pumped in to his stomach and he is set on fire.. apparently no evidence of any kind is left in either of these murders, even though the camper blew to pieces. It is just so bad, I am not sure how anyone could say this is good? And, as much as you hate Alan, he falls for everything time after time after time, and you just want him dead.The acting is just so God Awful I don't even know what else to write.. Just please save your life and don't watch this horrible flick...
