Movie Crazy Girl - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sleepaway Camp (DVD)

Honestly, I bought this movie a little while ago because it was 4.99. Trust me when I say it was NOT worth it. The quality of the movie was completely poor and looked like it was recorded on DVD from a VHS tape. And the movie itself, was odd. Some scenes didn't fit in the movie at all and the ending was the so far fetched and dumb. You know who the killer is within the first five minutes of the movie and the bad language that the kids use is extremely un-needed.

Carlo Monte "Carlo Monte" (Bronx, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sleepaway Camp (Widescreen) (DVD)

...the wardrobe department from this movie! Man! Ultra high tube socks! Midriff baring T-shirts(for the guys!)! Super high and tight shorts!(also for the guys! let's sing Soprano!)

But really, from the opening scene, you know you are in for one sweet and (unintentionally)funny ride. If you haven't seen it, let me go over the very beginning.

Hair helmet sporting lifeguard lends boat to cute but inattentive girl. Both fail to hear pleas from the waterskiing
girl(who no doubt gradutated from the William Shatner school of acting) who has spotted a man and his two children in the water after capsizing their boat. From the ultra fake body which gets run over to the lament filled utterance "John" by the man's "significant other" to the girl screaming so loudly you would think she was the one who was run over...I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

And it gets better after that.

Witness the obscenity filled male softball game with players in the ranging in the ages of 9 to 25!

Witness men walking around in their underwear alot more than they should at a camp for little kids!

Witness the girl who gets hit by a water ballon drop like she has just been shot!

Witness Mel(who looks like a crack addicted Norman Fell) put on the most dramatic performance of 1983!

You think Johnny and gang from the Karate Kid were mean? Check out this gang!(Guys and Girls!)

Shockingly funny ending! I won't give it away here, but it just seems like it fits with the rest of the weirdness of the film.

Get some beer, get some friends, enjoy the campiness.

3.0 out of 5 stars i'd say it was lame,but that ending has to be seen to be believed (2.5/5), Oct 20 2007

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Sleepaway Camp (Widescreen) (DVD)

this is a review of the cut version.for the uncut,gorier version with
special features,check out the Anchor Bay edition.as for this
version,for the most part,this horror flick is slow and
boring.actually,right up until the last scene.and the acting has to be
seen to be believed,but not in a good way.in the whole bunch,there is
only one very good acting performance.i thought several times about
stopping this one,but for some reason,i stuck with it.the ending has
got to be one of the most inventive and even shocking moments in the
genre.i'm not gonna spoil it,but in order to appreciate the ending,you
do have to sit through the other 80 plus minutes.does it make the movie
worth watching?i'm not sure,but it does elevate the rating,in my
book.up to that point,this movie was headed for the big fat goose
egg(zero).instead,i give Sleepaway camp a 4/10.come to think of it, i
guess it is worth sitting through,just for the ending.normally i
wouldn't recommend a 4/10* movie,but in this case,i have to make an
exception.by the way Anchor Bay also has a three collection of the
first three movies uncut,with special features,entitled Sleepaway
Camp(limited Edition with survival kit).if you're a real fan of the
movies,you might want to pick it up.
