Returning to Return to Sleepaway Camp: The Return
So I finished RTSC during the wee hours of the morning. The final verdict? Well, it’s clearly a terrible movie. The dialogue is atrocious, the pacing all the over the place and there’s nary an exposed breast to be found (although there is a brief glimpse of a severed penis, not sure how I feel about that). It does feature, however, some pretty dang nasty kills (see penis, severed) and I appreciate the fact that they managed to scrounge up all the survivors from the original film.
If you watch the behind the scenes featurette and cast interviews on the DVD, you realize all involved honestly believe they made a good film. With quotes like “When I put on the sheriff Jerry costume… I become him” and “the character of Ronnie is really expanded on” you realize that everyone tried really hard and are proud of the film they made. There are moments when I thought the movie was a thinly veiled spoof (did they really want me to tale Sheriff Jerry seriously?) but I do believe that this was a sincere attempt at making a horror film, and for that I give credit.
I can’t really recommend Return To Camp Sleepaway Camp, but I can say watching it won’t cause blindness. Also, Grown Up Angela is actually kind of hot. Had we had an updated full frontal shot to end the film I would have given it a much more positive review. Revenge Of Camp Sleepaway Camp anyone? Anyone? Okay then…
