Title: not as good as some say, but ...
Product review: Although much of the acting is way beyond 'camp,' the aunt, in particular turns in a substantially brilliant, bad performance. After seeing this film, my college suitemate and I went around imitating this woman for most of our freshman year. And I can still hear her saying something about "tying a string ... around [her] fin-ger".The campers' deaths are pretty hilarious and as has been said before, the shocking conclusion is nothing short of bizarre. Could this film have been directed by the ghost of Ed Wood? It's a toss-up, but my vote is 'yes.'If you're looking for a scare, I'm not sure i'd turn to this film. But if you're looking for someting well within the realm of truly terrible horror movies, give "Sleepaway Camp" a look. Rent before buying, though. I doubt the widescreen version featured on the new DVD makes "Sleepaway Camp" seem more theatrical.
