A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

So last night I was up late and ran across "Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers" on cable. I set back with all anticipation of finding every bit of this film as a horrible mockery of the horror genre. I was surprised. to find that that was not the case at all. Now I remember watching this film a few other times in the past but was pretty sure that I didn't like it. I love "Sleepaway Camp" and I still sometimes stop and gasp over the exposure seen. That film was a classic to me. I know to most of the younger people today the old stuff is boring and ridiculous, my nephew even said that they were dumb because they were not scary! Can you imagine. If I rated every movie based on that my DVD collection would be very minimal.For me it was never about being scared for real! It was always anticipating what it was gonna look like when the head smashed or some body part was removed. Mostly for me the best thing was always seeing the endless variety of kill scenes and watching as the characters walked right into their deaths even though I would scream ecstatically at the screen for them to not go see what was taking d*ck so long, don't go into the room at the end of the hall just because you think that you heard something. The different concepts of a slasher or psycho and watching their story play out against dark nights and eerie music was an epic moment for me growing up. Kinda still is!Wow I really do ramble …anyway about "Sleepaway Camp 2" . Yeah some of the actors were really bad and seemed intimidated by the camera, but not all were bad and the parts that did seem over exaggerated kinda made sense. The story stayed tight from the first film right up until the end of the series. For Angela's character though at times seemed insufficient was either brilliant on the directors part or really bad. I believe it was genius. She played crazy right. Mostly she didn't know she was crazy and by god she wanted a good camping experience without all the teenage bullsh*t and distractions. I do wish that she would have been just a bit more expressive and over the top with the crazy but her character was ahead of her time. There could have been a bit more tension and suspense building up to the kill seen, but so what that doesn't take away from the film if you realize what your watching. Angela is the star – she is not a typical slasher and this was not a spoof film as the TV description would have you believe.This was a dark comedy straight out. It was about a girl obsessed with kumbiya's and s'mores and games and camping with other respectable people but never getting to have that because everyone around her was miserably selfish and disruptive. It was really closer to the modern horror/comedy than an 80's spoof. This is gonna be a bad film if you go into it thinking you will experience jaw clinching suspense and big scares and sh*t. If you go in realizing that your watching a classic cult film about a disturbed young lady that just happens to kill the other campers for not playing along the right way and just absorb the fact that she is skipping and whistling while she is bashing peoples heads in, setting tents on fire in the same frame of mind as when she is singing and fishing and every other normal camp activity then I think more people will see this film as real classic that was ahead of its time.

I saw this few years again, i tired to watch early in the week after seeing first movie, the next day i planned to watch this movie, I found the movie a bit dull as i could sit thought so turned it off. As I don't judge a movie until i have see the whole movie, so i re-re watch this movie tonight,I did not turn of this times however, i did find the movie every entertaining and there was some dull moment here and there in the movie.There were some really good decent in-trusting deaths scenes in this movie that I really liked and also really enjoyed the nods to other 80's classic horror movies. I don't mind some nudity in movies but i felt they put to much in this movie and it got dull as the movie went on.The acting was really poor from most of the cast and i did not like the ending at all, i thought that was really bad way to end a movie.I still going to give it 5 out of 10

An few years has passed... Angela (Pamela Springsteen) has become an real girl, she changed her identity and she's now an consoler. But these young teenagers are practically the same way, they nearly treated Angela as a young teen. Now she can't take it anymore, she decides to kill these unhappy campers one by one.Directed by Michael A. Simpson (Sleepaway Camp 3:Teenage Wasteland, Funland) made an amusing slasher horror movie with few humorous moments of black comedy. It is made watchable, thanks to Springteen's winning performance as Angela. Renee Estevez (Her brothers are Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen and Ramon Estevez) is likable in the movie. There is some clever kills in this, although not as gory as you might imagine.DVD from Legacy Entertainment, DVD has an OK Pan & Scan (1.33:1) from the VHS source but the night-time sequences suffers on the DVD. The Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono Sound is fine. Anchor Bay DVD is supposedly Uncut. "Sleepaway Camp 2:Unhappy Campers" is certainly entertaining for the die-hard slasher fans. Truly slow going at times but the short running time helps. (*** ½/*****).

Not exactly a classic of the genre, SC 2 is a so-so followup to SC, in which a sexually confused character slaughters a bunch of people at a summer camp. If you haven't seen the original, this sequel may make no sense. Angela -- the demented he-she from the first movie -- is back, and just as murderous as she was in the first movie. Maybe more so. The body count seems higher, for one thing. Since we know Angela is a psycho from the outset, all suspense is removed. Taking its place are several pleasantly nasty deaths and the occasional laugh, as the movie is strictly tongue in cheek. The acting is appropriately cheesy, and the effects are from hunger. But as my brother-in-law used to say, who goes to the drive-in to watch the movie? And this is most definitely old-school drive-in fare.
