As far as discount Friday the 13th slasher ripoffs go, this one is pretty average for the most part. It's weird, and the ominous tone of uncertainty is held throughout the entire film. It's a movie that's not afraid to deal with some heavy subjects while at the same time sticking to the slasher genre.
For its time and budget, the effects are pretty good too. It's an extremely campy movie but it's one that stands out from the others in the sense that it's one you'll never forget for the twist ending. It's perhaps one of the most well-known - and shocking, especially given the societal changes between then and now - twist endings in history. But I'm not here to spoil the movie; go give it a shot and see what you think.

This was part of a Cheesy Horror night and most of the time my friends and I were just amused by the funny 80s hair and clothes but the ending freaked us out, it is really creepy! And, they freeze it on a freaky image for nearly(if not all) the whole credits. Ick. Nobody expected the ending to be what it was. Most of the film is your standard summer camp horror movie - though the body count is rather high - kids getting it on, pranks etc.
I recommend this film for its 80s value AND shock ending, though now everybody has told you the ending is shocking then you will probably spend the whole movie trying to figure out what it is.

this was definitely a weird one. the realisticly ruthless portrayal of kids at camp, the pedophiliac in the kitchen, the unexplained insanity of the aunt, the homosexual undertones, the ENDING! i was utterly floored when i rented this one. if you can find it, rent it. watch it. show it to your friends and watch them cringe. Just follow my advice and hold onto something when it winds down to the end. i promise, you will be shocked, and will probably have the final image stuck in your head for a week.

Sleepaway Camp (1983)
*** (out of 4)
Angela (Felissa Rose) goes with her cousin Ricky (Jonathan Tiersten) to a summer camp where she's constantly picked on and harassed by the most popular girl in camp (Karen Fields). Over and over again Angela is picked on due to her shyness, which causes Ricky to have to defend her and before long dead bodies begin to pile up.
SLEEPAWAY CAMP is a pretty notorious entry in the 80's slasher genre due in large part to a terrific twist at the end, which I obviously won't spoil here. If you want to play a uptight critic it's easy to really cream this film because there are some pretty bad things throughout including some at times hideous acting. However, if you're a fan of the genre, which I am, there's no question that this film has a lot going for it and it fits nicely into the genre, which at times delivered one cliché after another. There's no doubt that SLEEPAWAY CAMP has some clichéd moments but there's still no doubting it's impact on the genre and the all around good time you can have with it.
I think the best thing about the film is that it just feels so much like the 80's. The movie has the basic set-up taking place in a camp with a psycho running around but there's a lot of other stuff thrown in including a bizarre subplot dealing with a pedophile and there's even some stranger stuff that I won't go into so that I avoid any spoilers. The film also shows how bullying was handled in the 80's, which was usually with a big fat nothing. The film manages to really make you feel the time that it was set in and I think writer- director Robert Hiltzik deserves some credit for putting some of the more bizarre things in here.
It also doesn't hurt that you've got a group of characters that you can root for and against. One can't help but feel sympathy for Angela and you also can't help but like Ricky and Paul. The villains in the film are so over-the-top cruel that you also don't mind seeing them get knocked off one at a time. Then there's Judy who's certainly one of the most memorable villains in the history of the slasher period. Fields performance is just so spot-on that you can't help see the glee in her as she torments Angela. Rose is also quite charming in her role and there's certainly not a better slasher actor than Tiersten when it comes to saying profanity.
The murder scenes are mostly off-camera, I'm sure due to budget reasons but they're still quite memorable and especially the aftermath when we see what actually happened. The make-up effects are quite simple but effective enough. I also liked how the main goal of the film wasn't the gore and violence but instead the characters and especially the mystery. I'm sure some will guess what's going on but if you go through the film without knowing and just guessing who's doing the killing, it certainly adds to the entertainment level. SLEEPAWAY CAMP has a lot of nostalgia going for it but it's also one of the more entertaining films in the 80's slasher cycle.

One of the all time B movie greats of the 1980's. With a disturbingly young cast and bizarre queer subtexts this is a must for anyone into camp/cult films. Not to mention a great ending and some creative death scenes. Judy as the main bad girl truly makes this film for me,and her demise is tragic, a fate so terrible that the filmmakers don't have the guts to show the aftermath. Yes, a curling iron to the crotch is never a pleasant experience R.I.P Judy, R.I.P. The plot really is secondary, a tragic boating accident leaves a newly orphaned Angela, who looks a lot like Sarah Silverman, with her aunt Martha and cousin Ricky, and off to camp the kids go, where bad things start to happen. This is from a time when horror was an odd creature, the film is clearly made for 12 year olds, much in the way that Deadly Friend was too, but contains fairly graphic, albeit silly, death scenes and strings of profanity designed to make the young ones giggle. If this were made today, no doubt it would be neutered, given a PG-13 rating, with bland yet classy production values, and a cast from One Tree Hill.
A family is destroyed by a speedboat in a lake nearby a camp. Eight years later, the outcast teenager Angela (Felissa Rose), who survived the accident and was raised by her nutty Aunt Martha (Desiree Gould), travels with her protective cousin Ricky (Jonathan Tierston) to spend vacation in the Arawak Camp owned by Mel (Mike Kellin). Soon the pervert cook of the camp has a tragic accident in the kitchen that is followed by the death of several teenagers and kids. Who might be the killer?
"Sleepaway Camp" is a campy American slasher that is worthwhile watching because of the surprising ending. The plot is silly and the acting is terrible (Aunt Martha is laughable so bad it is) and becomes funny for the viewer. But the last scene turns the movie into a cult for horror fans. My vote is five.

Slightly disturbed and painfully shy Angela Baker (Felissa Rose) is sent away to summer camp with her foul-mouthed cousin Ricky Thomas (Jonathan Tiersten). Not long after Angela's arrival, things start to go horribly wrong for anyone with sinister or less than honorable intentions.
This film is either loved or hated, and with good reason, but it has been embraced more and more as the years go on by fans of the horror genre. The acting is excessively cheesy, especially from Desiree Gould, but purposely so. The kills are grisly and nasty, even if not always shown on screen. When that curling iron strikes, you know the situation. And the pedophile cook? Oh man... that is pushing boundaries that even horror films dare not cross (Freddy Krueger can be a child killer, but not a child molester).
One cannot vouch for the next two sequels, which have little connection to this film, but the original stands as a true modern classic, and if you have not seen it, you are really missing out on an important piece of horror history. What could have been a ripoff of other horror slashers that take place at camp (notably "Friday the 13th") turns out to be far different from any other title out there. And keep in mind the whole crew, more or less, had just come from "Creepshow", so these were folks who knew what they were doing.
Writer-director Robert Hiltzik (who graduated NYU with Ang Lee) mysteriously went decades without directing again. Many of the actors also never acted again, at least for a long time. And then you have Christopher Collet, going on to make such things as "Prayer of the Rollerboys"... does that make him the biggest success from this film?
Not only does the film get better with repeated viewings (which make the humor and camp more fun), but there are actually some clever subplots that will likely be missed on the first time or two. Mel Kostic (portrayed wonderfully by the late Mike Kellin) not only is one of the best characters, but has his own story and relationship with the campers and counselors that may not be immediately evident.
The Scream Factory Blu-ray is ridiculously good and worth owning. Beyond the excellent presentation, it has three different audio commentaries, where you learn odd trivia like Felissa Rose's husband Deron Miller meeting her as a fan, and much more. There is even a short film showing whatever happened to Judy (although it is not very good).

I'd give this movie a passing grade. Some of the actors are crazy bad, while others keep ya watching. The story line is like any slasher film. Sleepaway Camp is full of classic horror stereotypes. They spent the budget (thankfully) on effects, not actors. I couldn't believe the size of the cast for what was surly a small budget movie. The eighties wardrobe was hilarious (Men in short shorts and cut off Tee's), that alone was worth watching the movie for. The actor who plays Ricky could have went on to have a career, cause his natural acting ability grounded the movie. Without him being realistic there'd be no foundation, no solid core of normality to keep us watching. My viewing him as a good actor could be based on the fact that everyone else seemed like Over-dramatic high school performers. Sorta awkward, waiting for there cue types. But as far a low budget, low quality horror films go this is watchable with an open mind and no high hopes. Great for group viewing, creates great laughs.
This movie is by now means a "good movie" but it just has something so special about it.
It has so many Issues like for starters no one could act their way out of a paper bag but when your watching it just adds to its charm in such a strange way. It also makes it hilarious. The first scene with Aunt Martha is just so funny for all the wrong reasons.
The effects used in this movie are also like two ends of a spectrum some are so cleaver and creative like gelatine being pumped through a pipe underneath a man to simulate blisters pulsating and then you have half a raspberry being used as a bee sting. Which once again is hilarious.
The story is also great. It has something that the other summer camp 80s movie don't have.
I think if you strip away all it's issues like the acting and the budget that must have been about $17 there is such a solid idea. But I also think that if you stripped all the issues away it wouldn't be as fun and as charming and creative.
So I would say definitely check this movie out if you like 80s horror or if you love bad movies because the is the best bad movie you will ever see.

This isn't exactly what comes to mind when I think about camp movies How this escaped my attention for such a long is beyond me Based on my only experience with summer camp Camp Arawak certainly feels like a real campground Speaking from my own experience they certainly got the mean spirited bullying kids part right and the kids feel like actual teen's and not 20 somethings Also I liked the gore effects I think most people know by now about the notorious ending But because It slipped under my radar for so long and I try to to avoid spoilers when watching something for the first time As usual I never saw the ending coming.
... The ending! Omg I was soo shocked and surprised! ! Why have i never even really heard of this movie?! I love slashers and cannot believe it took me this long to see this movie. It is actually surprisingly pretty good, terrible acting aside. Do give it a chance for something quite different. And I can't get the surprise ending out of my head! It is worth a watch, even if just once. You won't forget it, it'll get stuck in your head. I couldn't even sleep after it, the ending was embedded in my mind and I'm still thinking about it a week later. I'm not kidding. Is my review 600 characters yet...?!

After some VERY dramatic, ominous music during a panning shot of the titular camp Arawak, SLEEPAWAY CAMP begins.
Right off the bat, tragedy strikes on the lake. We know this mostly because of the water-skier who won't stop screeching like a pint-sized tornado siren.
Several years later, the scene switches to the soon-to-be camper, Ricky (Jonathan Tiersten). He and his shy cousin, Angela (Felissa Rose) are getting ready to leave. Angela survived the aforementioned tragedy, and was taken in by her Aunt, Ricky's -extremely odd- mum. Next stop, the camp.
It's probably not a good sign, when one of the first adults to be introduced, obviously likes kids a bit TOO much! He's Artie (Owen Hughes) the cook, and he's one of the most vile characters since the gargantuan neighbor in ALICE SWEET ALICE! Yecch! Don't worry though, he quickly becomes... overheated.
As it turns out, there's no shortage of creeps and jerks at Camp Arawak, which means there are lots of victims for whoever starts bumping them off in grisly ways. Most are vindictive idiots like Judy (Karen Fields) and Meg (Katherine Kamhi), who simply must torment Angela as LOUDLY! AS! POSSIBLE! This could be a long summer, if anyone lives through it!
Though everyone remembers this movie's "shock" finale, the rest of it is interesting in that it contains so many hateful, unbalanced characters. EXHIBIT A): Mel (Mike Kellin), who's unwarranted paranoia verges on the maniacal! This is especially disturbing, since he runs the camp!
EXTRA POINTS FOR: #1- The fake mustache on the cop at the end! #2- The cheap, cheeezey, yet somehow creepy song during the end credits!...

This is a low-budget '80s horror ostensibly in the mold of similarly cheesy and dated slashers like the early Friday the 13th movies. The characters are given more development than the typical slasher meatbags queueing up to be slaughtered and there's a vague implication of something untoward besides a murderous psycho tromping through the woods. It's difficult to decide what's intentionally off-kilter as opposed to what's just the product of bad acting and a low budget, which actually works to the movie's benefit. But what really elevates this movie is a single shot, which is less of a twist or revelation than a moment of bizarre and inspired weirdness best experienced in mixed company. You'll know it when you see it.

Let's face it, SLEEPAWAY CAMP isn't a great slasher movie. Despite being heavily indebted to the likes of Friday THE 13TH and THE BURNING, it's not half as good: the production values are pretty poor, the script is pretty lunk-headed, and the characters just don't grip you like in some other movies.
In addition, the movie is cheesy in the extreme, with the kill scenes involving such improbable methods as somebody getting a bee's nest thrown into their cubicle while they're on the toilet. It's all frankly rather laughable, although not without merit for those with a soft spot for '80s nostalgia. Certainly the fashions and the style of film-making readily date this to the early '80s.
However, things do turn around for an infamous twist ending which, I have to say, is one of the most simple and yet effective that I've ever seen. I thought Argento did similar twists well in the likes of PHENOMENA but the twist in SLEEPAWAY CAMP is superlative, closing on one of the most chilling freeze-frames I've ever witnessed. It really is that good; a shame that the rest of the film couldn't rise to the same level.

This is 80's American Cheese at it's greatest! The cast does a great job and the script is actually really good. If you're a fan of cheesy slasher flicks this is one you should certainly check out...and absolutely DO NOT MISS THE ENDING!!!! One of the creepiest endings I've ever seen in a movie which is sure to give anyone the chills. A truly wicked low budget horror flick.
80s Slasher films are like a coin; they have two possibilities. They can either be groundbreaking or they can be replicas of "Black Christmas" (1974) and "Halloween" (1978) with new elements or themes. What happens with "Sleepaway Camp" (1983) is at the very least intriguing.
The film encompasses all the dated characteristics of a slasher from that era, featuring caricatured characters, absurdities that are either ignored or taken as commonplace by other characters, and the prevailing clichés of the genre during that time. However, the movie stands out due to its exceptionally striking plot twist, surprising the viewer in the final minutes of the film.
In this context, the film may not be groundbreaking, but its ending was partially unprecedented for its time. "Sleepaway Camp" offers an enjoyable experience, and its conclusion makes every second worth it, solidifying its status as a horror genre icon, thanks to its memorable final scene.

The Sleepaway Camp franchise was a cult classic in the slasher genre. They were B-films that always held their own against the bigger budget films. And you just have to appreciate how charming they were.
SC was rather derivative of films like Friday the 13th. The very element of a slasher flick taking place at a summer camp speaks for itself. But the style and twist are entirely different. The lower budget is obvious, and the acting certainly isn't great by any means. You just know it's pretty cornball. But it's still a fun film. It's still pretty well-rounded, with a solid story all around. The inventive killings really work in this movie, especially considering that the cinematography isn't what sells it. The action is. The pretenses are off the table in SC, you know what you came here for.
As slashers really burgeoned in the 1980s, that obviously led to a lot of hit or miss films and styles. But even some of the movies that you knew weren't very good, were just very...charming. And that's how I feel about Sleepaway Camp. It was just ridiculous enough to work. Until the third film, but I digress. I actually kind of enjoyed the premise and the silliness of SC, even as derivative as it was to the Friday franchise. In fact, what I think this film does better is character development. In Friday, the characters are quickly disposed of, no real chance to relate to them or distinguish anything interesting about them. You get a better sense of development in Sleepaway, as it has central characters, and I just think more developed supporting characters.
This is a fun cult classic film. It's never gonna stand next to franchises like Halloween, Scream, or Nightmare.... But I can appreciate how hard it tried to be what it is, and it's a good viewing once in a great while.

A Really bad slasher movie that is exactly what it looks like. A low grade rip-off of FRIDAY THE 13TH with no suspense or atmosphere. Yes there is a surprise ending, but it's kinda dumb and implausible. Besides the rest of the film is so completly meaningless that the ending becomes that way too. Forget it.
