Director: Robert Hiltzig
2008
Writer/director/creator of the original Sleepaway Camp, Robert Hiltzig, returns to the healm of this direct to video sequel, ignoring the storylines of the more comedic sequels parts 2 and 3. Paul DeAngelo reprises his role as camp counselor, Ronnie; Felissa Rose returns as Angela and Jonathan Tiersten returns as the grown up Ricky; all three from the original cult classic. Also at the forefront of this film is Vincent Pastore, best remembered for his role on The Sopranos and Isaac Hayes plays the chef; Hayes is best remembered by the younger generation for providing the voice of the chef on the raunchy animated comedy, South Park.
The film does find a few new inventive ways of killing but unfortunately too much of the film revolves around the Alan character, who is beyond annoying....whiney, obnoxious and stupid! The film could have been a hundred times better had they cut back on Alan and thrown in a few more kills. It's low budget and campy but if you enjoyed the original, you may enjoy this one as well.
Story: 25 years after the killings at Camp Arawak, the camp is now called Camp Manabe. The kids torment each other as usual but when people start dying, suspicion falls to the bullied Alan, counselor Petey, and even nearby construction worker, Ricky, who was at Camp Arawak during it's massacre. Ronnie, also a survivor from Camp Arawak, can't shake a paranoia that the current murders are connected to the murders of the past.
Gay Factor: Very minimal gayness....*SPOILER ALERT* - Killer from the original film, Angela, returns. Remember Angela was anatomically a boy but raised as a girl. In this film Angela does appear as a boy for most of the story till the end when he rips off his mask revealling his femine Angela face.
