Review of Sleepaway Camp (1983) by Brandon M — 05 Oct 2008
This movie is odd, to say the least.
On one level it's just your average so bad it's hilarious slasher movie from the 80s with a dazzling array of short shorts and intense Daytime Emmy worthy acting (Judy's facial expressions are hilariously mesmerizing).
On another level this film is so bizarre and heavy with weird homoerotic subtext. Half naked teenaged boys, tranny aunt, genital mutilaton, gay dads, and tranny killer. Sleepaway Camp, especially the last scene, is like a psychosexual nightmare written by Freud at his most caustic. Camp is so bad it's good fun but that doesn't mean it's good.
