Sleepaway Camp 2 (1988)

Recap:

The movie starts with some campers telling horror stories. We get a recap of part one, plus we are told that the slasher a) has spent some years at the madhouse and b) has undergone plastic surgery and c) has been set free recently. Then we are shown that the slasher d) is working at this camp as a counselor and e) continues slashing.

So they don’t waste time and get the movie going right away. What follows is routine slashing, and it’s performed quite casually. One might say that slashing is more enjoyable when the slasher does his job with earnest dedication, but this more tongue-in-cheek approach works, in my opinion, quite well, too. The murders themselves are partly routine stuff, but mostly fun and original, and there is a decent amount of gratuitous nudity and sex. So as long as you don’t ask how the victims’ disappearances could be covered up with lies without someone actually missing them for such a long time, you have a very decent fun slasher. By no means it’s special, but it very okay and watchable.
