I usually hate when a sequel explains what happened in the original but this movie needed it and thankfully they did it. Once again there is basically no plot and the acting is not so good. This time they don't go for the over the top screaming, which is definitely a good thing. The ways the people get killed are much better than in the original, although this time lots of dead people continue to breath or move their eyes. I'm sure other reviews on here say it sucks but it's just as good as the original, just different. Give it a chance.

SLEEPAWAY CAMP II is one of those no-budget made-on-the-quick slasher movies that exist solely to cash in on the '80s boom in serial killer flicks. It's also one of the films at the lower end of the scale, offering a dearth of originality in a genre that was already starved of invention by the early '80s; somehow the slasher flicks made in the latter half of the decade just seemed to be even cheesier and less scary than before. SLEEPAWAY CAMP II plods through a routine script in which a bunch of horny teenagers at a camp are bumped off one by one by a crazed murderer using increasingly bizarre methods. It's not a particularly well made film, with production values equal to the worst of the Friday the 13th sequels and the dull, repetitive nature of the film will have many viewers snoozing off.Pamela Springsteen, sister of Bruce, plays the killer, taking over from the actress in the original production. Springsteen is pretty annoying, making lots of unfunny wisecracks as she bumps off her victims, and she only really impresses in the last twenty minutes or so when we find out just how crazy she really is. The rest of the cast is populated by bimbos happy to whip off their tops in their 15 minutes of fame, so expect a ton of gratuitous nudity throughout the film. The only characters I really liked were Brian Patrick Clarke's hilarious mulleted jock and Uncle John, who is played by a down on his luck Walter Gotell, better known for his turns in classier fare like THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL and the Roger Moore/James Bond flicks. Renee Estevez, daughter of Martin Sheen, plays the virginal heroine but her character is utterly boring.As is the case with most of these cheesy slasher flicks, the only real fun to be had is derived from the ludicrous death scenes. Here, there's some imagination in the killings, which include death by battery acid, guitar string, chainsaw, and decapitation, but all the murders are so poorly staged that there's no fun to be had from the rubbery gore effects that we briefly see. Otherwise, the film strives for the gross-out effect in a couple of moments, like the girl confronted with her sister's fried skeleton or the poor victim shoved into the toilet. The only other moment of interest is some early self-referencing – years before SCREAM – in which a couple of characters dress up as Freddy and Jason.

Out of all the Sleepaway Camp movies, this is definitely my favorite. Also if i had a 10 favorite movies ever, this would definitely be on that list! This movie is just totally fun and awesome! It starts out with showing what new Angela is like, and gives an awesome rock song giving a feel of what kinda movie this is! They did good with all the characters, and i really rooted for Molly, the good girl, and that guy she liked. And when they die most of them are shown to die for being a bad camper, which i like. And the deaths are really creative and great! I think Angela was great in this and i don't think she is annoying like most people say, I think she awesome and has great one liners when she kill someone! One of my favorite scenes is when those teens are dressed as Freddy and Jason, and Angela kills them as Letherface. One more thing, i think the happy campers song was perfect for this movie, loved it. So overall this is a very fun slasher film, i love this movie its awesome!

In Unhappy Campers, Angela is played by Pamela Springsteen, and the camp that was shut down in the first film has re-opened, with a new generation of kids who are older than the ones in the first film but just as bad, if not worse. Angela has had to endure years of electroshock therapy, anti-psychosis pills and a sex change operation before changing her name to Angela Johnson and signing up as a camp counselor. Soon after she arrives though, people begin to go missing.This sequel to Sleepaway Camp has far more sexual scenes/sex jokes, and is a little more vulgar than the first, such as dubbing two twin sisters who camp there the "Sh*t Sisters". Pamela Springsteen is excellent in the role of Angela, the acting wasn't bad, and although the soundtrack isn't as good as in the first one it's still not bad. For a sequel, this is pretty great and I really liked it.
