That's A Lot To Unpack! SLEEPAWAY CAMP Movie Reaction, First Time Watching

Buckle up or be thrown from the vehicle! If you like 80's cult horror classics that are every bit as problematic as they are thought-provoking, then you'll love this full movie reaction to Sleepaway Camp!

My favorite part of the movie was always how bored Ricky was with his mom's insane behavior at the beginning. It's just every day for him.

Honestly Ricky was a great cousin. And he is like every child with other the top parent, just be like "yeah yeah okay mom byeee"

[@jimhaggard7436]

Just some take-aways: Peter’s Aunt Martha should be the villain of the story because as a psychiatrist, she knew the harm in forcing a female identity onto Peter, but she wanted a daughter in “Angela” too much to care. I love Aunt Martha’s house. Why go to camp when you can watch tv and listen to mom? Peter knew on a level that Aunt Martha didn’t realize that Peter couldn’t pass as Angela even as a kindergarten kid. He and Angela had spied on their Dad and his boyfriend making love and saw that their bodies were alike. Later, Peter and Angela had played post office and would’ve realized their differences.

Your reactions in this video were hilarious. Also, my husband and I always agree that the true villain of the movie is the aunt and that a prequel movie about her would be fantastic. I mean, the way the actress portrayed her was probably just inexperience but it added to tragedy that is Angela/Peter. In a very symbolic way, the aunt murdered Peter which, more so then the boat accident, set this whole thing in motion.

[@arimina5353]

Thank you so much for watching this movie while considering the era in which it was made. Men in short shorts and no such thing as cgi for the effects was normal in those days. The artists who did the post-kill shots were on the same caliber as the ones who did the "living dead" zombie movies to come. Make up artists were amazing back then. I'm glad you appreciated their art and didn't find it 'bad' or 'dated.' I idolized those artists growing up and miss them in modern film-making. I also enjoyed your take on the subject matter of the film itself. I'm glad and relieved that this movie didn't upset or offend you. I was a stupid kid when this movie came out so I had no idea how polarizing the film would be 4 decades later. I just saw it as a "bad guys who deserve to die do die and I'm glad" horror movie with a twist ending. For me, it was what The Sixth Sense ended up being when that movie came out. Revisiting this movie as an adult, I still feel the same way. Except now I can feel sympathy for stupid young hormonal Paul (?) wanting to make it to second base with a "girl" so he could be like the other boys. When I was younger, I hated him pressuring "Angela" and was glad he got the ending he got. Being nice to "the girl" gave him no right to push when she said no. As a preteen I wanted him dead after that first scene when he had her on her back, even without knowing how the movie would end. As an adult, I'm sorry he died for his hormones, but I still sympathize with the main protagonist. And I'm nostalgically attached to this campy old horror film so it's nice to simply watch someone who doesn't read too much into it. The world was very different in those days, for good or worse.

[@shaitanlavey]

The mustache - the actor thought he had completed his scenes and shaved so they had to improvise for one scene. Unfortunately that scene happened to be a closeup. Also - the officer doesn't even seem phased by the inconsistency between drowning in the lake and being found 20' away from the water hidden under a boat. Overall I really love this film. Thanks for checking it out. 2 and 3 are decent attempts to carry the franchise, but obviously since Angela's "secret" is already out of the bag that bit of shock value isn't really a prominent factor. They also switched actresses from Felissa Rose to Pamela Springsteen and the sequels have more of a campy vibe to them. ✌

Aunt Martha is the single most horrifying monster of any slasher I've seen.

[@Dessinger2]

So you know, that shot of Ricky in the wig is sort of an accident. When it first came out, lower quality screens meant it was more like a vague silhouette, but newer HD lets us see very clearly that they just had Ricky's actor wearing a wig.

[@old_school_4ever]

Since we're in the spirit of Halloween horror... you definitely need to react to The Evil Dead. The original 1981 I have not seen anybody react to these one.

Evil dead 2 is actually better.

Judy’s death still makes me squeal even today, the thought of it makes me cringe

[@mihnma]

I watched that as a kid and never understood what actually happened to her, until years later in high school it all suddenly clicked and I screamed in the middle of class.

[@DexJP1998]

Omg, you just make me realiza what happened. Angela did... that? Holy shirt. You opened my eyes.

[@MrSFblack]

The cold part is Alanda seems as if she's not sure exactly what happened to Judy, and I'd hate to be the one to tell her. I'm pretty sure that kind of comment would get taken down anyway.

[@MrHootiedean]

Sista you are hilarious and gorgeous! You make my day when I see an upload. It seems you got 80s horror covered so I would like to recommend The Exorcist (1973), The People Under the Stairs (1991) and the original Candyman (1992). But I'll watch you react to anything, so do you boo!

Of all the horror movies you said you'd react to, I never would've guessed Sleepaway Camp was on the list. BTW I still think the makers of The Crying Game owe creative credit to this movie.

[@bootsierosenweig9495]

I somehow missed this because it came out when I’d just gone to college. So I watched it before watching your reaction. Great reaction, again, and as a Gen X’er who dressed this way in high school, can confirm those shorts left little to the imagination. They made me uncomfortable to look at and wear. But we all wore them anyway. Shocked now as I remember boys jiggling around in those shorts and it was normal.😂

"Oh thank Gawd Booty-shorts arrived" You'd make a great actress as the Good Camp counselor if they reboot this movie with Blumhouse

[@aipaloovik]

I highly suggest the 1982 horror anthology film 'Creepshow'. It's directed by George Romero (night/dawn of the living dead, etc), with some stories by Stephen King (he even stars in it as well).

[@TJUC123]

God, the 80’s were amazing. Men in short shorts and crop tops. Bring it BACK!!!!!! 😫😫😫

[@ceejay6553]

The commentary was hysterical! The actor who played the cop shaved his moustache for another role, not realizing he had to still shoot the final scenes...the Director and Producer were not happy.

[@joshuatabak95]

I was sooo happy to see this was your next review. Sleepaway Camp is very much out of Left Field but this is definitely a classic. Thank you for choosing this. This camp though. Dang. The 80s were wild. This is one of those classic movies that there is NO WAY IN HELL you could remake in today's environment, but I am glad this exists.

[@mannmadeproduction]

the second you said "oh the girl died!" and "angela must be the killer" I was like roll credits LMAO I don't think I've ever seen someone new to this movie actually guess the ending, let alone in the first 20 minutes!

[@jactober]

The curling iron death scene is so brutal & disturbing despite not being graphically shot or shown. She definitely had the most painful death in the movie having a hot curling iron shoved in your private area is totally brutal 😭

[@scottjo63]

Here's something different, The Boston Strangler from 1968. The actor who get an arrow in the throat is in it as well as top actors Henry Fonda, Tony Curtis (Jamie Lee Curtis's father), George Kennedy, etc. Big actors in the day. Excellent police procedural, horror elements and it was really based on the true story of Albert DeSalvo, the real Boston Strangler. Excellent movie.

As a horror junkie who just happens to be trans, this film used to give me very mixed feelings 😂😭 I still love it though - sublime commentary as alwaays

[@LowCountryMatt]

(I am writing this as if the movie is it's own entity, knowing that Angela is 100% Angela in the other films, this is all just critical interpretation, and if I am misled or reaching bad conclusions, please let me know) I feel like this movie is a message against enforced gender roles. Aunt Martha forced Peter to live as Angela against his will and look what happened. It was a forced gender dysphoria that left already traumatized Peter completely broken. If Martha had accepted that Angela was Peter all along none of this would have happened. So really, this movie tells people to embrace the gender you really are. Let Amy be Amy, let Angela be Peter. Trans liberation now.
