IFWT #14 - Sleepaway Camp (1983)

From first time writer and director Robert Hiltzik, Sleepaway Camp was released at the tail end of the Slasher Movie Golden Age and primarily follows 2 youngsters, Ricky and Angela, as they travel to Camp Arawak for the summer. Ricky is outgoing and sporty, Angela is shy and reserved, and as such attracts the ire and attention of the camp’s bullies. Much to the horror of the campers, and the annoyance of the counsellors, people start turning up dead, and the search for the killer, or killers, begins.
On this episode we're taking a look at a cult horror classic, a film well remembered for its shocking twist ending, but we’re here to see if anything else about it holds up almost 40 years later.
