Product Description

Product Description

Pamela Springsteen stars in this cult American slasher horror sequel.

In her new role, Angela teaches the badly behaved campers a lesson or two in behaviour and survival using her very own unique and brutal methods.

First things first: if you haven't seen the original Sleepaway Camp, stop reading anything about this sequel and go watch its predecessor. It's all but impossible to talk about this movie without giving something away about the original, and - believe you me - you do not want to spoil one of the greatest endings in cinematic history. That being said, Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers greatly exceeded my expectations. I think the filmmakers knew they could never even come close to shocking the audience this time around - and so they chose not to try. From the word Go, there's no mystery as to the identity of the killer in this one, and so the filmmakers concentrated on delivering plenty of nasty slayings instead.

Five years and one operation since turning Camp Arawak into a bloodbath, our killer has been deemed "cured" and released back into society. Now the killer has landed a job as - of all things - a summer camp counselor at Rolling Hills, a summer camp located some sixty miles away from the now-defunct Camp Arawak. Apparently, she had very good references - supposedly from the very quacks that let her out of the mental institution in the first place. Well, you don't have to be Kojak to figure out that nothing good is going to come out of this situation.

Kids soon start disappearing - or, as the killer puts it - "sent home." These are all "bad kids" that the killer catches engaging in acts she doesn't approve of. Of course, these same activities are the very ones that are going to happen at any youth summer camp: sneaking out at night to play pranks or hook up with someone of the opposite sex, drinking, using bad language, and pretty much any other type of rule-breaking on the books.

First of all, if you have not see Sleepaway Camp 1, than I advise you do not read this (or any other reviews of it's sequels - or the back of the DVDs - as there is no way to talk about them without giving away massive spoilers to the first movie). So please do not read this if you have not seen Sleepaway Camp.

Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy campers is a very good sequel to Sleepaway Camp, but it is also very different. Unhappy Campers is a camp horror movie, with as much comedy in it as horror. Also it was made by a different director and Angela is played by Pamela Springstein instead of Fellisa Rose. However, desite all of these changes, Sleepaway Camp 2 is still a brilliant movie and is not spolit at all by the changes made since the first.

The movie takes place five years after the first movie. Angela Baker (now nineteen) has been released from a mental institution, having had a sex change, and is now working as a camp counciler at Camp Rolling Hills. At first it seems that managed to put the events of Camp Arawack behind her, she is now confident and filled with innocent happyness. But we soon find out Angela has not quite moved on from from her old ways as "Bad Campers" - the one's who misbehave - are being "sent home" by Angela as one-by-one she kills them off in gruesome, inventive ways.

Truely one of the best slasher movie series ever. Angela is brilliant as a serial killer, she only kills bad people, most of her killings are very origional and she's is very witty at times.

I highly recomend this movie to fans of the slasher genre or anybody looking for a good movie.

Angela is not your normal teen summer camp councillor. Upset her once and you could find yourself on the wrong end of a very sharp knife. One by one the residents of Camp Rolling Hills are 'being sent home' by Angela, but they never make it further than her abandoned hut. There were a few too many reworked murders from previous horror films such as Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Texas Chainsaw Masacre but that also added to the comedy of it along with how to barbecue a teenager. The mix of comedy and horror was topped off with a sprinkly of interesting sex scenes.
