Just what I expected

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Downloaded this on accident looking for the original sleepaway camp, but somehow ended up watching this one last after the other 3 movies, well 4th, but we wont talk about the 4th one. Ill say this right now, ill probubly give this a 10, because sleepaway camp ended up being one of my favorite movies of all time. IF YOU DID NOT LIKE THE ORIGINAL SLEEP AWAY CAMP, YOU WILL NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE! With that in mind. Even the intro was solid with this movie. The characters were laughably cheesy and generic, which just added to the original sleepaway camp atmosphere. Angela bakers back for more. With the original angela baker, THE COOK, THE BLACK COOK FROM SLEEPAWAY CAMP 1, HOLY F***!! THE RIPPED DUDE FROM SLEEP AWAY CAMP 1, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR! The characters they put in from the first one weren't good actors at all, but were some of the most memorable to me to this day. Ripped guy, i may never know your name, but you could be in any crap movie, and id watch it without a second guess. The kills in this movie..........were so awesome. The bunk bed kill was by far one of my favorite I've seen recently. All in all, if you like sleep away camp, WATCH THIS! if you don't, watch the bunk bed scene, and the penis tied to tree truck driving scene

To start off I just recently watch the original Sleepaway Camp. I thought it was an excellent film. Angela and Ricky were awesome and very likable main characters. The film was paced well and the kills were creative and original and I really enjoyed the plot and all of its other characters and its antagonists especially M-E-G and Judy. Of course the shocking ending was awesome and it is some really horrifying imagery in execution.Return to Sleepaway main issue is the main character why would you make a character like this? Hes horrible in every way and hes completely un likable and he ruins the rest of the movie. I will say that the kills were awesome even if one of them went on way too long and the film did not bore me but this was very disappointing I just don't understand how they thought this script was good. I really hope if Reunion ever gets out the door thats it a lot better then this.

This is, without a doubt, up there with the worst horror sequels I've seen, below the likes of Howling 7, The Omen 4, and even Lake Placid 2.First off, the characters, save for four (two of which barely have any roles) are borderline sociopathic. Now, there are horror films out there with a cast mainly full of unlikable, horrible people. Rob Zombie's Halloween remakes and Sorority Row are examples of this where it's bothered a lot of people. This film makes the characters in those look like Mr. Rogers. Even the adults act like a mix between crazed criminals and violent five year olds that can't get fired for assaulting kids, giving them wedgies, and basically having them go through the kind of hazing that most colleges even frown upon. Even the main character is a screwed up, annoying, whiny, overly-aggressive, crazy, creepy, disgusting bully that would normally be the opening kill in a by-the-books 80s slasher flick.Next off we've got some of the dumbest writing I've seen in awhile, and this is coming from someone that watches crap like Birdemic, Jack Frost 2, etc. Lemme give you two examples, both of them spoilers. Skip this chunk of text if you don't want to be spoiled. First we've got a scene in which a man has the following done to him: He's tied to a tree, his pants are undone and dropped to the ground along with his boxers, another rope is brought around his neck, and another smaller plastic thing is tied around his dick. He's not blind, he can see, and he thinks the person doing it is a woman who walked off away from him, within his vision. He watches her walk off, and seconds. SECONDS. later this happens, as he's still watching in that direction. He somehow. Somehow. Can't see who is doing this, and the way this is handled, the only way it could even be plausible is if the killer was revealed to be telekinetic. Alex Mack, they ain't. Secondly we've got the big twist ending, which... actually might be the single dumbest twist I've seen in a horror movie. I've seen so many, and this... just... I need to explain, and I know many of you won't believe me and will end up, sadly, watching this just to verify because it just sounds too stupid. One of the few likable characters is this like, 60 year old cop...guy that dresses more like a mix between a 1950 southern sheriff and a WW1 soldier, and he has to talk with one of those electronic devices you attach to your throat, only the people behind this film have never heard what those sound like and instead just altered the actor's voice in post with a cheap robot effect that makes him sound less like a throat cancer survivor and more like a fracking cylon. This guy? Is the killer. We barely see him at all... and also it's Angela. Angela apparently is the next Tom Savini and was able to make super convincing makeup so she could... pretend to be... a 60 year old man? ...Beyond how ludicrous that sounds, I just... ...why? Why do that? How did she do that? What about her gender identity issues? Why does the film keep trying to retcon 2 and 3 (far better sequels, despite not being hilariously bad but still enjoyable in the same way one can enjoy the later Nightmare on Elm Street movies) by implying she never got a sex change, and then we see her and she's obviously a woman in makeup to pretend to be a 60 year old man and... my brain hurts just writing this.In short... pass on this. It's like trying to watch the first film, only you have a hangover and there's a screaming child in the room with you. The writing is moronic, the effects are awful (though the fake blood looks delicious. It's... it's this pink kool aid stuff. Pink. PINK), the acting is terrible, the script is flimsy, the plot twist is absolutely ridiculous. Just pretend Sleepaway Camp is just a trilogy, or if you want to count the unfinished fourth film, a "quadrilogy"(sic, because damn it Fox that isn't a word, no matter how much I love Alien.)

This movie is brilliant, when I first watched it I thought it actually was an 80s movie because it looks and is exactly like that. I had to double and triple check that this was the 2008 movie as I couldn't believe it at first. This is how they should always make horror movies!!! I was really surprised when I came here and saw a relatively low rating and bad reviews. Okay, I don't mind if a person give it a 5, I can see why some people mightn't like it that much, but who on earth is giving lower than 5s? It's hard to believe that, they don't seem like fans of the original if that's their attitude as this is very close to the original in a lot of ways and better than it in some. I have to admit, I hated the "fart" scene at the beginning of the movie as well as many others. I also thought there were too many shots of boys in states of undress... and the whole thing is quite campy. I totally get that the fat kid with the frogs is very weird and makes things a bit uncomfortable and outrageous at times.... it's called ORIGINALITY. It's called being different. It's viewing something new that you didn't see tons of times before. The fat kid is like a monstrosity, like some weird ****.... which is what horror movies are all about. I think that as the movie wore on the fat kid scenes got better, less stupid. Again if this is all not your cup of tea, fine, but it's certainly not a "bad" movie whatever way you look at it!!! The death scenes were amazing, I don't think anyone will have qualms about these. One of them dragged a little, that's it. The characters weren't overly "mean" to each other, sure things got very heated at times... this is how the world works sometimes. And children can be very cruel to each other. Even if it's pushing credibility a bit at times, I was able to believe in all of the characters' actions in the movie. This is how horror movies work best, the music and atmosphere created are top notch. Maybe the plot could have been done a bit better, with more comprehensive explanations for things, and better mystery surrounding who was doing things. I can certainly see how the movie might have had more potential. But for some reason, the movie really just lured me into it in a way that's hard to explain. Maybe it's just the mood I was in, but it really got my imagination flying and had me in a lot of suspense about what was going to happen next.
