A terrific 80's comedy-horror trilogy to have in your collection!!.......2007-06-18

I love these films! The acting is what you would expect, not the greatest although some of the actors do a good job. I enjoyed the first one, but the second is my favorite followed by the third. Pamela Springsteen's performance is a hoot! She has some great one-liners and a lot of comedic dialogue. I don't think I would care for these films unless she was in it because she is great here! I watch them for her alone. These movies to me are not scary, just comical although people who like gore will probably be satisfied as there are some interesting death scenes you won't see in another movie. I would purchase this collection because you can enjoy them over and over but don't expect anything too serious. 4 stars and that is for Pamela's performances! If you don't live up to her standards, don't expect to live at all! (that would have been a great tag line :-)

Good and decent boxed set I like it!.......2007-03-26

I ordered this box set last week and recieved it this week.
I must say I already saw these films on VHS before and they
are much better on DVD in a boxed set. Great packaging I
like how the survival kit was set up. There are also commentaries
for the movies and other features. I liked all 3 films with part
2 being my favorite. I thought part 3 was a bit cheesy but not a
bad film just a bit corny at times.

Great Box Set - But Don't Buy It Here.......2006-10-20

This is a great collection to have for any horror movie buff. The first movie is a timeless horror classic. In true horror fashion, the 2nd and 3rd movies are more or less comedies. This is a great box set, but Best Buy sells it for like $16, so I'd get it there instead of this $35 price that Amazon has.

Nice but overrated.......2006-10-17

The biggest plus of buying the boxed set is the box itself! It looks really cool in the shelf and the red ink that simulates blood is even sticky. The first movie is a good slasher with preteen actors (this means no nudity). the last 10 seconds of the movie will stick with you for a long time. Second and third parts SUCK!

A bit misleading........2006-07-03

This box set is a mix bag of tricks. While I was entertained during these films, I was still feeling like I was being cheated. First of all, I will admit that I had never seen any of the Sleepaway Camp movies before. Being a huge horror fan I made it through the 80s and 90s without never viewing them. I am not sure why, it was not until I was at a Suncoast movie store that was going out of business where the box set was being sold for 40 percent off, that I decided for the price of 21 dollars why not I'd give these films a shot. Well let's just say I'm glad I did not pay full price.

The box set packaging is put together very cool. The remastering of all the films was done equally as well. There are two major problems I had with the films. The first being that I felt they are a bit too much like the Friday the 13th movies. I have always been a huge Jason Voorhees fan and unlike the Friday the 13th films the Sleepaways are just not gory enough. Call me immature but when I watch a slasher film I want gore and lots of blood that's the whole point. I almost felt that I was watching made for television movies, if the nudity and adult language were taken out these films they could have easily been shown on regular TV. Maybe I have Anchor bay entertainment to blame. They could have been edited. Some of the gore scenes did have a bit of a censored feeling to them. But I have many other Anchor bay releases and I know those films are not censored, so why would they release edited versions of these movies.

On the up side of these films they are very funny. Angela is an extremely enterianing character, and these movies reek of everything bad about the 80s. The biggest problem about Angela however is unlike Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Kruger she is hardly a intimidating, and powerful figure. Those three mass murders would finish her off in 2 seconds. I guess maybe the Sleepaway Camp movies are supposed to be parodies of the horror movies of the 80s. I will say however that the death scenes are creative and funny which is an important element to any slasher film. For the price I paid for this box set I'm not sorry I bought it. The films are certainly not the worst horror movies I have ever seen. They are a decent viewing, just not enough blood and gore for slasher films.

The Fourth Disc.......2006-11-24

The rest of the survival kit is the same except the fourth disc which contains about 45 min. of unedited footage that was to be the fourth Sleepaway Camp film "The Survivor" which unfortunetly never happened. Like I said, the footage is unedited and there are many different takes of each shot. THE FOURTH DISC IS NOT A MOVIE.
