After the simple brilliance of the first film, the SLEEPAWAY CAMP series takes a wet, dripping dookie all over itself with this pathetically unfunny comedy sequel. It was so unfunny, in fact, that it took me like a hour to even realize that it was a comedy!
Taking place a few years after the original massacre, Angela is now fully transferred over to being a woman (thanks to a sex change operation). Also, two years of shock therapy have left her fully cured. Could have fooled me though, because she's taking her job as a camp counselor waaaay too seriously. (Just a side track here for a moment, but wouldn't her parole officer or doctors or whatever probably have a issue with her getting a job as a camp counselor...seeing as she just recently killed around thirty people at another summer camp?) It seems Angela has a severe problem with people she perceives as sinful. Smoke weed...that's a murderin'. Premarital sex...that's a murderin'. Ask questions about all the other campers that have been gettin' murderin'ed...that's a murderin'.
That sounds promising, but trust me, it's not. Crap special effects, annoying acting by the annoying main character, weak topless scenes, illogical story, stupid ending, goofy kills. The only thing I found interesting was the hijinks of the campers, but unfortunately goddamn Angela kept killing everybody right as things were getting fun!
Skip it with a vengeance and never look back. Watch THE BURNING again instead.
