Don't trust the negative reviews--this was a blast!

This movie is misunderstood and under appreciated! I took a chance tonight after reading the negative reviews, and rented it from the Redbox. I was VERY pleasantly surprised by this!! It's a terrific tongue-in-cheek sequel to the original! It was great to see so much of the original cast come back, along with the original director. Matter of fact, I've decided to purchase this movie now, and set it next to my Sleepaway Camp Survival Kit. People who say that this "wasn't as good as the others" are clearly confused....do you remember how intentionally cheesy they were, too? Audiences nowadays want films to be more sophisticated and refined than the cheese of the 80's, but it's entertainment like this that I really, deeply miss. Welcome back, Sleepaway Camp!
