Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness You'll never look at an outhouse the same way again. Rated: C+ Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast A very in-on-the-joke low budget horror comedy with a delightful turn from Pamela Springsteen. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast While the film needs more short shorts, the switch to outright comedy/horror suits the material. Pamela Springsteen's performance is pitch perfect, though the film does have too many characters and lacks the practical FX of the first film. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Cody Leach Cody Leach (YouTube) Sleepaway Camp 2 pushes fully into horror comedy that is guided by Pamela Springsteen's jovial take on the franchise villain. There isn't near as much taboo or shock value as the original, but this sequel has fun with it's sizable bodycount. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2022 Full Review Anthony Arrigo Dread Central It's absurd, trashy, violent, nasty, disgusting... and entirely entertaining. May 29, 2020 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Unhappy Campers is all about Angela's awkwardly hilarious and horrific journey as a person during a decade she didn't understand and one unable to understand her.

Cluedo Was a good sequel to the first one but it didnt have the same feeling to the end. It was fun to watch but that was it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review KerryWhite's S 6/10. 65/100. | I have a feeling this will be a sort of guilty pleasure of mine now 🤔 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Ariana C So ridiculous, what was the cherry on top of a bad movie was the slowed down clips of her singing. They definitely thought this would blow up like the first movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review Raiodesol S The expectation following the first movie can be very decisive to a viewers opinion on this movie. If you watched the first movie and you're expecting something similar, this movie can be a complete let down. But if you're watching just to know what a sequel to the original Sleepaway Camp would look like, then you're probably in for a fun (and filled with nudity) movie. The only thing you have to know is: no, there's no impactful and horrifying scene in this one. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Lenin P It really shouldn't be this good, but it definitely was. It felt like it had an extremely high kill count. At one point in the movie, I was literally saying to myself, damn. Angela somehow finds herself back at camp, and you know what happens next. At first I thought she had a code that she would go by before deciding to kill, but I was wrong. She just kills at random, whenever the mood strikes. It struck her a lot in this film. I love how she just kills so casually and in a nonchalant way. She acts so normal about it, a real psychopath if you ask me. It's your usual step up of kids at camp, and all the accompanying shenanigans. So the plot, and everything else doesn't matter here. The people were pretty cool and somewhat relatable. I like the vibe I got from the actors in this one. What matters most are the kills. In this film my three favorite kills are as follows. First, was the mutilation of the girl with a power drill while in a car. The girl literally asks Angela, "what are you looking for, a gun?" She replies, no a drill and kills her. The blood splatter was really well done here, and her facial expression made it comical even. My second favorite kill, was when she lured the girl to the abandoned cabin, stabbed her in the back a few times and suffocated her in the porta potty. It was disgusting to watch and I could almost smell it through my TV. A really interesting and memorable kill, that's for sure. My third favorite kill was really simple in all honesty. But it felt really freaking painful. It was when she threw battery acid on the guys face inside the abandoned cabin. Simple and effective, but oh so deadly. I like how they paid homage to Jason Voorhess, Freddy Krueger, and Leatherface. Given the time period, it was a very appropriate thing to do. It was a nice touch. All in all, this follow was an amazing follow up to the classic original. In my eyes, this too is also a classic. So much fun, and so much blood. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to sit back and watch a movie where they don't really need to think. Just plain ole fun and guts. This gets a LennyReviewz Score of: 9/10 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Ryker D I love this movie but I'm not gonna lie it has one of the most abrupt random and out of nowhere endings I have ever seen in my life it just ends Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/22 Full Review Read all reviews
