I liked it, it was a little hard to watch during the curling iron scene...but it was a pretty good movie. The most insane ending I've ever seen.

Watching Sleepaway Camp for the first time was very interesting because I had heard about the ending and how shocking it was. I hate hearing anything about a movie before I see it because it ruins the surprise and fun. However this film kept me on my seat, despite its' many flaws. Lets be honest, without the ending this is just another 80's slasher clone. Between the horrible acting (not including Felissa Rose), the high shorts on men and the cheesy but entertaining killings, it didn't have a whole lot going for it at the time. The ending saved this movie, and trust me you'll see what I mean when you see the movie. Now even though I already had information about the movies' plot before seeing the movie, it still struck a chord. You spend a whole movie getting to know a character and becoming used to the way they act and think, and then in one scene your whole idea of that person is flipped. The image of that final scene will be forever burned into my brain as one of the creepiest things I've ever seen in a movie, easily. Worth a watch, without a doubt.
Sleepaway Camp can easily be dismissed as a Friday the 13th rip off by someone who has never seen the film before. When one finally views the film you realize that why there are similarities between the films they are very different. Sleepaway Camp is a nice little who-done-it style slasher flick that has extremely inventive kills. It also has a lot of humor to it also even though some of it is unintentional but it actually adds to the film. The main thing that people will remember this film for is the ending its quite a surprise. Looking back at the film i find it to be better than Friday the 13th in many ways. Sleepaway camp has the perfect levels of kills, cheese, and really tight shorts.
