Sleepaway Camp 2. Sleep harder.

in #life5 years ago (edited)

Sleepaway Camp 2 is a really strange beast.

I will go out on a limb and say it is the best slasher movie that I've ever seen.

That's a really unusual thing to say considering that I was not a huge fan of the first one.

The first Sleepaway Camp is incredibly boring. However, the last 15 minutes is so interesting that it made me want to watch the second one. After seeing the second one I could not believe how different it was from the first. Different in a really good way.

The first Sleepaway Camp is about a couple of little kids who go to a summer camp only to find that people are being killed left and right.

In the first movie the deaths don't make a lot of sense. There is a whole lot of camera sitting on a scene doing nothing while we just stare at people not having fun.

Considering that it is a slasher movie, the deaths don't even have much gore except for when they are ridiculously over-the-top. To tell you the truth none of the killings are even a little bit interesting.

The first movie doesn't even have any nudity. Although there is one scene when the campers want to go skinny-dipping. However, only the male campers end up going skinny-dipping so you don't see any females. Kind of a let down.

Additionally no attractive people appeared in the first movie at all.

That is to say every single person looks like they had to pass an unattractive test in order to apply for that movie. That might sound like a bad thing to say but honestly it's pretty funny. It almost makes the first one worth watching just to see how bad it really is.

That is why I was so surprised to enjoy the second one as much as I did. It is a 180 degree turn from the first one.

There are a ton of gory killings and they're all very interesting and fascinating.

All of the campers are incredibly attractive and fun to watch just doing camping things.

There is a ton of nudity, if that is your bag. I think when it comes to movies like this nudity is actually a good thing to add. It's fun.

The role of the killer is even played by Bruce Springsteen's sister. It's really cool to see her being this crazy killer. Now this is actually a direct sequel to the first movie so you might consider watching that one before you watch this one.

The truth is that this movie pretty much has everything going for a slasher flick.

It has great interesting killings, it has attractive people that take their clothes off and run around having a fun time doing campy stuff, it has good action sequences, it has a plot that makes a lot of sense, and the end of the movie is creepy as all get out just like the first one.

This is probably my favorite slasher flick ever and that is saying something.

The movie is really the best. The review of the movie is amazing
