Sleepaway Camp Ratings & Reviews
The Wolfman Cometh
Patrick Cavanaugh
Sometimes you can't judge a movie but its cinematic merits and instead judge it based on the pure amount of delight it delivers, in which case, Sleepaway Camp is a masterpiece of the summer-camp-slasher subgenre.
Horror Movie Talk
Bryce Hanson
It proves that in many very important ways, you can't recreate 80's horror. This movie might not be for everyone, but if you are a fan of campy horror, or even just cult classics in general, you should enjoy this one as much as I did.
trans|cendental cinema
Mattie Lucas
Its over-the-top grotesqueries are pure camp, serving as a constant performance of gender and gender stereotypes in which Angela is hopelessly trapped so that the final moment of catharsis feels both heartbreaking and completely earned.

If there ever was a beautiful disaster, it's Sleepaway Camp. Almost everything about the production is of poor quality; yet, there is an undeniable charm and hilarity to it's end result. The kills are creative and the ending will stick with you forever.

Trace Thurman
While the film will forever be remembered for its shocker of an ending, there's still an interesting conversation going on about the effects of bullying and abuse on a child that allows the film to rise above some of its more shallow slasher peers.

The film has undergone a significant reappraisal in recent years - for many this is no longer a homophobic and transphobic text. Despite the creative team having zero intentions to that effect, Sleepaway Camp has been appropriated as a trans revenge film.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Sleepaway Camp survives as the kind of not-exactly-"good" movie that is somehow kinda great, memorable and eccentric within a formulaic genre context.
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
While Sleepaway Camp, from writer and director Robert Hiltzik, is far from the best horror film, it is proof that sometimes the payoff at the end is worth the entire venture.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Director Hiltzik is so focused on creating a twist ending that he forgets to design an actual conclusion, leaving behind a number of loose ends and unresolved plot points.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
There are great films and then there are magical films, glorious oddities that pop up sui generis out of nowhere. Sleepaway Camp falls squarely into the latter category.
Movie Mezzanine
Jake Cole
Take out the twist, and the film could piggy-back off of her into a stilted and tasteless but nonetheless unique exploration of sexual awakening.

Dustin Putman
[Blu-ray Review] From the awesome newly commissioned cover artwork, to the terrific A/V elements, to a slew of new bonus content going above and beyond the call of duty, this is nothing less than a dream release. Buy it. Like, now.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
A definite eighties gem with a twisted mystery that really is rather brilliant in countering any resemblance toward "Friday the 13th."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Not a particularly effective movie... [but] it is an exceptionally memorable one - one that lingers in the brain, disturbing and discomfiting.
DVDTalk.com
Bill Gibron
[ Sleepaway Camp] is...a gritty, sleazy Grade-Z rip-off of what Sean Cunningham and the gang more or less perfected over at Crystal Lake.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Still the finest Sleepaway Camp, if only because of its memorable final shot.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Evokes a period in time before Ritalin and common sense.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Cheap F13 knock-off. Good 'camp' value.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
When Sleepaway Camp focuses on something other than the rapidly growing pile of corpses, the movie nearly grinds to a halt.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
Sleepaway Camp belongs to a pool of slasher films known for their generic prolificacy; it must be noted that it is one of the first and best.
