Don't waste your time with this

The Cinema Snob reviewed this recently and I agree completely. Now let me get this out of the way first. I'm a fan of Sleepaway Camp and I have been for many years, and it's quite frankly one of my favorite movie franchises and series ever. Cheesy as it may be, it has a special place in my heart. I own the box set that comes with the booklet, the trilogy and the bonus disk containing the footage for the would-be part 4 in the Sleepaway Camp series; The Survivor. Years later when I heard they were going to make a full length movie out of this, I had very little hope and not many expectations for it; and it turns out I was right.

To put it simply if you have the box set that includes The Survivor (40-50 minutes of unfinished footage from the project that was canceled when Double Helix went bankrupt), take some of that footage and throw clips from the first three movies and blend it together. That's the full-length version of The Survivor. If you haven't seen that, then I'll use another example. Take Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 for example. That movie is basically two movies in one, about half of the footage being from the first movie and the remainder being what was made for the second. Now, take the clips that were used from the first movie and place them randomly throughout the movie with no real rhyme or reason for their placing. Or if that's too hard, do that with the Friday the 13th movies. Take random clips from the first few movies and place them randomly in Friday the 13th Part 5. That's this movie.

I know the maker(s) of this meant well, but they should have left The Survivor alone to collect dust on a shelf and in box sets everywhere, to fade into obscurity like Sleepaway Camp V: Berserk. This was totally unnecessary and a big waste of time for everyone. If you want to watch this, be my guest and rent it. But don't buy it in all honesty. It's not worth it.
