Return to Sleepaway Camp

Return to Sleepaway Camp is a 2008 American direct-to-video slasher film written and directed by Robert Hiltzik. This film takes place after 1983's Sleepaway Camp, and completely ignores the events of the two previous sequels.

Summary
Camp Manabe is a place where kids abuse each other, but people soon start turning up dead.

Why You Shouldn't Watch Return to Sleepaway Camp

 * 1) This film completely lacks the charm that the first Sleepaway Camp movie had.
 * 2) Most of the acting in this film is cringeworthy and downright hard-to-watch.
 * 3) Many parts of the movie are just copied and pasted from the original film.
 * 4) The CGI is terrible, especially with Weed’s death.
 * 5) An unneeded and pointless guest appearance by Isaac Hayes.
 * 6) Most of the characters disappear for an entire act or two:
 * 7) * Alan disappears for the entire 3rd act until the finale.
 * 8) * Weed's friend, Stan, is never seen again after Weed's death.
 * 9) * Spaz completely disappears after TC's death.
 * 10) * Jenny is randomly introduced in the third act and becomes a supporting character.
 * 11) NONE of the characters are likable and it’s hard to root for any of them.
 * 12) The opening scene and the song that follows it are cheap and ridiculous.
 * 13) The ending scene where Ricky shouts “ANGELAAAAAA!” sounds completely forced, it’s sound like a heavy metal voice with auto-tune.
 * 14) After the death of Weed, the film has 25 minutes where no one is killed. These characters are already extremely unlikable, and there is no character development built in these 25 minutes of boredom.
 * 15) The cheap look and production is a bit annoying.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The actors who played Ronnie, Ricky and Angela in the original 1983 movie reprise their roles in this film and are the only ones that give decent performances.
 * 2) The ending that reveals that the sheriff is the one behind the murders and that the sheriff is really Angela is a pretty good twist, albeit obvious.
 * 3) Some of the death scenes are pretty creative.
