Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers is the best in the camp trilogy. The gore scenes are great, Pamela Springstein as Angela is very funny and the cast of unknowns is very good. There is also a lot of nudity which is always good in a slasher flick.

I usually hate when a sequel explains what happened in the original but this movie needed it and thankfully they did it. Once again there is basically no plot and the acting is not so good. This time they don't go for the over the top screaming, which is definitely a good thing. The ways the people get killed are much better than in the original, although this time lots of dead people continue to breath or move their eyes. I'm sure other reviews on here say it sucks but it's just as good as the original, just different. Give it a chance.

The original Sleepaway Camp movie was a dark slasher movie with a seriously twisted ending, part 2 "Unhappy Campers" however is loaded with humour. Killer camp counsellor Angela (Pamela Springsteen, yes sister of Bruce) is back, "cured" of her murderous tendencies. However, even before the opening credits, she's back to her old ways, hitting a girl across the head with a log before slicing off her tongue! There follows many more gory and imaginative deaths, two stoner sisters are burnt to a crisp ("Say no to drugs" says Angela during the act), a guy has acid thrown into his face, another is decapitated, throats slashed, heads, drilled, etc. There is also plenty of sex and gratuitous female nudity (boobs, no full frontal) on show, add to that some mullet hairstyles and 80's rock music, proof that despite the slasher boom being over by around four years there was still life in the genre. Three characters dress up as horror icons Jason, Freddy and Laetherface, with Angela playing the latter you can be assured that her chainsaw isn't a fake one! Originally released heavily cut in the UK on VHS as Nightmare Vacation 2 this is now available in all of its uncut glory. Not really a classic but there is a lot of gory fun to be had.
