Topic: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

Just finished watching this....

What is wrong with indie horror these days. Seriously, why make a sequel if you can't do it justice?

The killer is so so easy to guess its not even funny....... its like carrying a giant sign over their head. "I'm the killer" - they tried for the old usual suspects thing but just got it all wrong.

This wasn't as bad as feast 2, but still so so bad.

What has happened to our beloved genre

Re: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

I just read a review on here where they gave the gore in this a 10/10. Has anyone else seen this movie that thinks that is way too high of a score? lol

I'm not going to bash this movie like I did Feast 2 - yeah the acting sucked, some scenes dragged on, the camera work left a lot to be desired, but overall it was a decent effort. However, gore was not very well done at all, even by DIY standards.

Re: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

sorry, he said death scenes, not gore.....

A couple scenes were inventive, but still poorly executed.... a simple camera cheating would have made the low budget effects better IMO.

Re: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

LOL, I'm bordering on liking this.... I have fond memories of the original and really wanted this one to be just as good.

I think I could say yes, i liked it, if the killer wasn't screaming out so loud from barely 10 mins into it. It was like having pokaroo in the room and no one noticing until the end.

I liked the bully kid who at times over acted, but was still good as a character overall. I think a major recutting of this could bring some better life to this movie.... Hell, I'd even volunteer to re-cut it for them.

Re: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

It didn't suck as much as Feast 2 did, lol

I really wish the damn killer wasn't so obvious... it would have been a good throw back movie, but sadly you'd have to be blind to not figure it out.... even with the sound off, its obvious. I kept hoping i was wrong... sadly, i wasn't.

Re: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

I have watched the movie House of Pain and I agree with you totally. I beleive I started a thread doing exactly the same as you, thrashing the entire movie.

Only good thing about the movie is that it did end.

The death scenes looked like something done by a child.

The special effects were horrible.

The dialogue and acting was forced.

Could tell who the killer was withing the first 30% of the film easy.

And one other thing Pain, when the killer is revealed the way they do it is so painful.

Can truthfully state that everyone of the death scenes were pretty low. Won't say more as I do not want to give away anything. I loved the first one. the second and third were watchable but nowhere near as good as the first. The fourth is sort of like saw 2 or 3, a totally waste of money on any level.

Re: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

Sorry Grim, I didn't see your other thread...

Yes... the reveal to the killer was very gay and very lack luster...... and how they faded to black and raised the sound fx's.... not scary at all.....

Didn't they go back and do re-shoots on this movie?

Re: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

While I agree that the movie looks like shit, I don't think being able to point out who the killer is should dictate the majority of your opinion... I mean, even in the original "Sleepaway Camp", you could tell it was Baker all along... You just didn't know, that, well...

*SPOILER*

She was a dude!

Re: Return to Sleepaway CRAP

I wanna see this movie but I don't wanna waste $10 on a dvd for it if it's that shitty and the fat nerd in it is the killer which looks obvious from the trailer.
