Massacre au camp d'été 3

If you ignore the fact that the busiest serial killer in the world has no problem putting on a pair of sunglasses and going back to the camp where she killed dozens of people, you will enjoy this movie. The premise isn't any sillier than the Friday The 13th movies and people seem to love those. At one point Angela fishes a hockey mask out of the lake and then asks what day it is. Wouldn't you know it's Saturday the 14th! I almost laughed. Once again, Angela manages to kill everyone at camp without arousing anyone's suspicion. It's the same plot as the first two movies but it still works. If you saw the first two, you have to see this.

Having seen and loved the first two, I don't really know why it took me so long to finally watch this one. Man, I'm glad I did. Teenage Wasteland is every bit as good as it its predecessors and I laughed all the way through it. Here are a few of the film's highlights:

1.) Death by garbage truck 2.) Death by Lawnmower 3.) Death by flag-pole 4.) Arms ripped off, via Jeep.

The list goes on and on. Angela's one-liners are better than ever and it stays in the same vein as part two. Pamela Springsteen does another good job and they left room for a sequal, which, rumor has it, is in the works. Check it out.

As a kid I remember being so utterly excited to see sleepaway camp 2 and 3. I remember making my dad take me to the video store the day they were released. Now at 41 it's nice to see these guilty pleasures finally getting the attention they deserve. Although I've grown to love the original campfest the best. The sequels hold a special place in my black heart 3 is the less good of the 2 but still registers Angela Baker played by the awesome Pamela Springsteen as one of the forgotten movie maniacs. This time around she's infiltrated a group of teens on their way to the camp she wreaked havoc on before. They are doing an outreach program pairing inner city kids with rich ones. Melanie's sister Tracy Griffith stars as our heroine of sorts. The movie is fun with some great kills and leaves an opening for a continued franchise that sadly never continued. They did however do a fourth film decades later with the original Angela the amazing Felissa Rose.

7/10

The first movie in this series is the one with the twist, that made it a cult hit. I thought I watched the second one recently but must have skipped it so I'll have to watch it soon. This one is ok, but still filled with bad acting and nothing to set it aside from any other slasher.

I liked "Sleepaway camp" because the death scenes were original. There's also hardly any slasher flick out there where the woman is the killer. In the tradition of the "Friday the 13th" films, this one is right on top as one of the best slasher flicks in the genre. I even liked it more than "Scream" and "Scream 2". (I haven't seen this movie in a long, long time, but I do remember loving it)
