so, going into sleepaway camp, I was expecting a campy B-slasher with terrible writing and acting, but what I actually got, it blew my damn mind. It honestly did. so first off, how can I talk about Sleepaway Camp without talking about the plot twist at the end? What even is there to say that hasn't already been said? It's insane. Though tbh I had already assumed that Angela would be the killer and that she would be secretly a boy, and the reason I assumed is this 1)Mystery movies always go for having the killer be totally unexpected, and a quiet girl who is extremely shy like that, yeah, it seemed clear to me because I'm a genius and 2)the scene with Meg picking on Angela over never showering at the same time of the other girls. Just seemed a little obvious to me from there. Still, I loved being right lol. Honestly, I think making the main villain a complete mystery in the first one and then making it clear in the rest was a very clever idea, too. And Angela is just such a terrifying killer, I mean, in other slashers, like Halloween or Nightmare On Elm Street, the killer is clearly evil from their appearance and mannerisms, but with angela, she just seems like such a nice, strict, but nice Camp Counselor, and her just murdering people without a single care about what she's doing just makes her all the more horrifying. In a way she's almost like jigsaw with her twisted morals. Amazing. Also, it's so cool how she doesn't just use a knife or a drill or something like that. she switches it up. she sometimes killss with a drill, or with a guitar string, she's creative with her kills, and that's terrifying.
