Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland

We're no longer going by the name of Camp Rolling Hills. All respect is to Angela (Pamela Springsteen) Baker. The camp is now titled Camp New Horizons.

This time, Angela changes here identity to a New York under privilege female by the name of Maria Nicastro. Angela soon dispatches Nicastro by way of a garbage truck and takes her identity, so that she can be a camper at Camp Rolling Hills aka Camp New Horizons. It's the same location, but it is yet under another name. This is due to the "MURDERS," as Lily, the camp co-owner would put it.

Married couple Lily and Herman, who is played by Micheal J. Pollard, are the camp owners and they make a desperate move to try and bring some inner city under privilege teens together for an experience in sharing.

It probably would have worked, except for the fact that the real Maria Nicastro won't be showing up. Instead, Angela Baker returns for yet another bloodbath of slaying.

This one has the same campy humor, creative deaths and beautiful babes, one which would include Jill (Night of the Demons) Terashita. Again, I'm not sure whether I like this one more of SC2 more. Nonetheless, check out this sleeper of a slasher flick. 10/10

As a kid I remember being so utterly excited to see sleepaway camp 2 and 3. I remember making my dad take me to the video store the day they were released. Now at 41 it's nice to see these guilty pleasures finally getting the attention they deserve. Although I've grown to love the original campfest the best. The sequels hold a special place in my black heart 3 is the less good of the 2 but still registers Angela Baker played by the awesome Pamela Springsteen as one of the forgotten movie maniacs. This time around she's infiltrated a group of teens on their way to the camp she wreaked havoc on before. They are doing an outreach program pairing inner city kids with rich ones. Melanie's sister Tracy Griffith stars as our heroine of sorts. The movie is fun with some great kills and leaves an opening for a continued franchise that sadly never continued. They did however do a fourth film decades later with the original Angela the amazing Felissa Rose.

7/10

I liked "Sleepaway camp" because the death scenes were original. There's also hardly any slasher flick out there where the woman is the killer. In the tradition of the "Friday the 13th" films, this one is right on top as one of the best slasher flicks in the genre. I even liked it more than "Scream" and "Scream 2". (I haven't seen this movie in a long, long time, but I do remember loving it)

If you ignore the fact that the busiest serial killer in the world has no problem putting on a pair of sunglasses and going back to the camp where she killed dozens of people, you will enjoy this movie. The premise isn't any sillier than the Friday The 13th movies and people seem to love those. At one point Angela fishes a hockey mask out of the lake and then asks what day it is. Wouldn't you know it's Saturday the 14th! I almost laughed. Once again, Angela manages to kill everyone at camp without arousing anyone's suspicion. It's the same plot as the first two movies but it still works. If you saw the first two, you have to see this.

im gonna keep it short and simple Sleepaway Camp 3 Teenage Wasteland is a great horror movie. it's not scary at all nor his the whole trilogy. but Pamela Springsteen aka Angela is just so great, the kills are original and she is just too funny, once again you will find your self hoping she kills everyone. all i will say is if you can find the Sleepaway camp trilogy rent them. part 2 and 3 are the best. long live Angela i give Sleepaway Camp 3 8/10
