Review #297: Sleepaway Camp (1983)
October 2024 Horror Origins Review #14- Sleepaway Camp (1983) Watch it here on Tubi! Finally! A movie that's generally regarded as pretty good, and is relatively well-known. Sleepaway Camp is a definite cult classic that's become pretty popular in the last ten or fifteen years, largely because of the shocking twist at the end but also (in my opinion) because it actually does a pretty good job of setting up a mystery with compelling three-dimensional characters. Normally I would try not to give away the twist of this one (as I really think it's worth watching blind if it hasn't already been spoiled) but I'm also going to be covering two of the sequels, and the nature of the twist would be ruined with even a cursory glance at either of those reviews so it's probably best to go ahead and give away the ending to this one (in due time) just so I can meaningfully discuss it. So if you're at all interested in watching this movie, I highly recommend you go do it rig...
