Pamela Springsteen, Renee Estevez, Tony Higgins

Camp Rolling Hills will never be the same. Not with their newest camp counselor Angela Johnson arriving. While there once was nothing but the best summer camp ever, it's now only a killing field to he...( read more  read more... )r. No matter what anyone does, Angela will have a problem with it. And when this woman has a problem with someone, she's not one to try and resolve it through conversation. No, she'd rather find inventive ways to make all the campers hearts stop beating using anything necessary to accomplish her goal. As the number of campers becomes noticably slimmer, it's up to one courageous girl to try and get out of Camp Rolling Hills alive.

    Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers is one of my all time favourite horror films it has just the right amount of jokes and blood in it to satisfy almost anyone. I can see where some might be turned of by it's ultra cheap look, but hey thats what makes it so good. Michael Simpson do...( read more)es more with the budget on this movie than Michael Bay could ever do with 100 million dollars on his crap fests. This movie moves at an ultra fast paced that makes it 79 minute run time seem like only thirty and leaves you wanting more and they gave us more a year later. I'll save my love for Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland for my comment on it. But with two, Pamala Springsteen does more with the role than Felsia Rose could ever hope to do. Rose just sat around and drew us to her as the killer. The only thing shocking about the killer in the original was what extra part she had. I never for one moment thought Rose was not the killer on Sleepaway Camp one. No matter though with the exposition out of the way Pamala Springsteen (Yes she's Bruce's sister) gave us through her performance one of the best female slashers of all time. And yes I know technically she's not a girl, but she was raised as one and thus has the feelings of one, though not the sexual ones. The supporting cast in this one is great too and I love all there appearances. Renee Estavez stands out the most and I wished she had followed in her fathers, and brothers foot steps she could have done other great work. The fact that all the characters are named after brat pack members is funny too, but not as funny as the Happy Camper song, I freaking love that song. Everyone should watch this movie as it is a classic. If the fact the first one is sort of cruddy has deterred you, get over it and watch this masterpiece of cinema. Also Bring back Springsteen not Rose

    As cheesy as the first, but ever so slightly better acted (that?s not really hard to accomplish!).

    Five years later, it?s marginally better and has changed the main character (who is really annoying) and they have introduced some over the top nudity. Still you can see here,...( read more) where these films may have had some influence on more recent films of today.

    Why am I feeling the need to carry on watching them? They are disturbingly bad and yet, I now need to watch them all.

    Standard campground slasher that never really gets off the ground, probably due to the complete lack of a threatening villain. Decent, but there's better movies out there to see before you get to this one.

    Friggin' CHEAP, but totally cool to watch even 20 years later; this is way far better than its cheesy follow up.

    I liked this when I saw it in High School. Not bad as far a slashers are concerned.

    Ups the ante of the first film with more gratuitous nudity and gore this time around, as well as a grown up Angela as the killer just looking for an excuse to lay into the camper who's trying to have too much fun while away at camp.

    Angel has lots of snarky comments for her vict...( read more)ims, the deaths are numerous and creative, what's not to like?

    Give it a rental.

    I thought it was better than the others!
  • October 13, 2009
    Better then the original & the best out of the 3

    Lots of gory fun. I love the bad acting and crazy characters. Perfect for late night viewing.

    The killer is back and is ready to kill again
