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.
