Worste of the Worste Vol. 2

Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland

Do any of you like to vomit? Personally, it's one of life's experiences we wish we could avoid, but every now and then, like the occasional bad movie we see, it's bound to rear its ugly head. I'm pretty sure that Pamela Springsteen(The little Sis of Bruce Springsteen and star of Sleepaway Camp 2 and 3)) has managed to regurgitate a few times during parties and get togethers while some bottom-feeding prankster insists on popping 'Sleepaway Camp 2 and 3' in the VCR, 'for old time's sake'. If you're familiar with the series, you probably know that it's not the 'Gone with the Wind' of horror, and it's definately not anything serious. This is pretty much a carbon copy of the second Sleepaway Camp as crazy Angela decides to reak havoc on a bunch of unsuspecting campers once again.

The camp has since re-opened with the changed name of 'Camp Rolling Hills'. It's a special camp dedicated to bring inner city children and country bumpkins together into one happy mass of sunshine! Angela has to do a little work before she catches a bus to 'Camp Rolling Hills', however. After managing to steal a garbage truck, Angela runs down(in broad daylight) a would be attendant of the camp while absolutely doing her duties unscaved and unannounced to anyone or the POLICE....right in the MIDDLE of New York City I might add! Hello? Is anyone there? The seemingly untouchable Angela steals the girls bag, her ID, and presumes a new life as a 'Happ Camper' off to Camp Rolling Hills!

If by chance you have seen the first two installments, you pretty much know that the only redeeming quality of the first one was the disturbing ending. And the only thing that kept part 2 afloat was a little thing called NEPOTISM. What the heck was supposed to keep 'Sleep Away Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland' treading water? Nothing! That's why is sunk faster than a concrete torso with Dom Deluise sitting on it. The nepotism had already worn itself out. The 'sacred' name of Springsteen had already been used as a marketing ploy, even if it was only minimal, and the director, Robert Hiltizik had now obviously run out of ideas and decided to give up and go play golf halfway through production. It's a choppy mess, this 'Sleepaway Camp 3!". "Hinder at the name and be home before eleven! Before a crazed female psycho emerges from the bushes and spouts out some hilarious one liner before slicing your throat!"

Anyone ever play blindfold? Yeah, me too, when I was a kid. The camp counselors seem to have their own idea of 'Blind Fold'. The object of the game is for one member from each 'side of the tracks'(or cultural group) to let the other blind fold them, as trust was the main goal. They had to place faith seemingly in someone they didn't know as they lead them throughout the woods, while all the while beings asked questions about themselves. Angela doesn't like the game for some odd reason, and when her partners turn comes about, she leads her straight to a ball field where a large pole is present. While having here hands tied behind her back also, Angela loops a rope around the girls wrists and begins to use a rope to hoist her upward. What I saw next almost made meburste out in tears!! After raising the helpess screaming chic in the air a good 30 ft, Angela just simply lets go as the girl heads down head first onto the ground at 'break neck' speed.(No pun..blah blah). I'll have to admit, that scene was very effective.
