A very in-on-the-joke low budget horror comedy with a delightful turn from Pamela Springsteen.

3.5/5

While the film needs more short shorts, the switch to outright comedy/horror suits the material. Pamela Springsteen's performance is pitch perfect, though the film does have too many characters and lacks the practical FX of the first film.

3/5

Sleepaway Camp 2 pushes fully into horror comedy that is guided by Pamela Springsteen's jovial take on the franchise villain. There isn't near as much taboo or shock value as the original, but this sequel has fun with it's sizable bodycount.

It's absurd, trashy, violent, nasty, disgusting... and entirely entertaining.

Unhappy Campers is all about Angela's awkwardly hilarious and horrific journey as a person during a decade she didn't understand and one unable to understand her.

Pleasantly surprised with this second installment! Fixing my problem with the first movie they improved the dialogue between campers. Upping the overall age pool of the campers allowed for the golden rules of horror to not break, be broken: don’t drink or do drugs, don’t have sex, don’t say I’ll be right back! Good campy 80s horror fun.

More slasher fun with the now fully sex changed Angela Baker. Some solid T&A throughout to go with the carnage.

Everything I love about 80s horror: memorable kills, horny teens, and a contagious sense of fun. Pamela Springsteen (Bruce’s sister) takes over for Felissa Rose and puts a comedic spin on Angela, bumping off the naughty campers with puritanical glee while singing about what a happy camper she is. The film is a meta commentary on slasher film clichés (Angela even dons Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface costumes) and often feels more like like satire than a straight-up horror film, which might disappoint fans of the first film. However, it succeeds on its own unassuming merits, and if you let go and embrace it, it’s surprisingly effective in fulfilling its unassuming goal.

Terrible writing, terrible dialogue. One of the worst sequels ever. “Oh, let’s just add boobs and they will come!”.
