Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988)

This is a late-period first-wave slasher flick, from the point when the genre had descended into the no-return hell of self-mocking camp (no pun intended). It's no better nor no worse than any other entry of this period, really -- it's shoddy and cheapjack and barely useful as cinema except as a meat movie. Fortunately, I happen to get some cheap reptile-brain thrills out of most meat movies, so one man's poison and all that. The cheerful reincarnation of the previous film's sexually confused preteen killer into a chipper camper crusher is at least worth a look if you're into this sort of thing. It's regrettably thin on the gore, save for one unexpected decapitation, but it does make up for that by including one of the grossest murders in any slasher film ever (you'll know it when you see it). If you have any interest in this, you know grades are kind of pointless.

Grade: C-
