I've ran numerous Sleepaway marathons with different people, and just about everyone 'gets it'.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, we were all pretty excited about the new addition to the canon.<BR/><BR/>The excitement wore off quickly... in fact, as soon as Alan opened his mouth. His character was the worst red herring I can remember. Everyone knows Angela was going to be around, but I would've personally preferred her to just be there, out in the open. The movies were more entertaining when you knew exactly what was happening... this pitiful sheriff disguise was awful.<BR/><BR/>Overall, this movie made me a sad panda.

I think I was rather intoxicated though. But between killings all it was was everyone being hilariously cruel and hateful for absolutely no reason. Everyone sucked so badly! It amused me. And the killings were fun. Of course it don't live up to the original, but I guess the low expectations I had for this one did me right. Also, the booze.

When I sat down to write my own review, I originally intended for it to be a short synopsis followed by some disappointed head shaking about kids these days and how nobody respects the power of a good thousand yard blank stare. Instead, it turned into something of an epic, several paragraphs of which were dedicated to my desperate attempts to make sense out of the ending. <BR/><BR/>And yet, I still have the damn thing on my computer waiting to be viewed again with a friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-12635380408685929972008-11-12T17:12:00.000-05:002008-11-12T17:12:00.000-05:00After Scream and its sequels it seems like every s...After Scream and its sequels it seems like every slasher movie has to have a 'wink wink nudge nudge' self referential humor. Sometimes it's hard to tell if a movie really is trying in on the joke or if it's genuine ineptitude.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of the first panel, when I was a kid I never played telescope with paper towel rolls for THAT VERY REASON.Koompahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14117129727322584767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-62107082312177518512008-11-12T16:39:00.000-05:002008-11-12T16:39:00.000-05:00Arbo, he most certainly IS.

But if something doesn't deliver for you, ESPECIALLY when you are a member of it's target audience, you don't owe it anything! It's its own damn fault and it deserves a spanking!<BR/><BR/>They had so long to get it right, but they weren't hungry like they were when they made the original. The original has entertainment value on any level for any viewer and I think that comes from the desperation of needing to succeed. They had so long to get it right, that they just couldn't live up to their own (low) expectations.<BR/><BR/>Boy, it really sounds like I'm talking aboot <I>Chinese Democracy</I>!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-32556870725747773402008-11-12T15:44:00.000-05:002008-11-12T15:44:00.000-05:00I've never seen the other sequels, so I cannot com...I've never seen the other sequels, so I cannot compare it to those.<BR/> <BR/>This one, obviously was not going to have the shock ending that the 1st one had, though I still thought that the movie was decent.<BR/><BR/>Great Review!thebonebreakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304800728906814919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-67916821005273084842008-11-12T15:12:00.000-05:002008-11-12T15:12:00.000-05:00"That said, there's plenty of humor -- both intent..."That said, there's plenty of humor -- both intentional and unintentional -- in the movie, and the entire affair is replete with acting that leaves you unsure whether or not everyone is in on the joke."<BR/><BR/>Well said.
