Summary: WORST MOVIE
Comment: I went to the redbox the other day to rent return to sleepaway camp and I really thought it might be good,but I was Dead wrong this was the worst horror movie ever. The acting was terrible the killings were a joke and everything about the movie was bad esp the kid Alan. Where did they find these actors. Ok issac hayes I felt bad his name was in the movie credits. The sleepaway camp series was legendary,but this was trash. A total waste of MONEY AND TIME. They should take this movie out of video stores target,best buy etc. I've seen people at film schools make better films then this was. For those reading this PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

Summary: Watch Something....Anything But This
Comment: "Return to Sleepaway Camp" has one and only one worthwhile moment. A guy makes reference to the "Cropsy" maniac from "The Burning". That takes up about two seconds of screen time. Other than that, be prepared for the most obnoxious and grating acting performances in recent history. Couple this with a totally obvious killer, shamefully inept editing, poor gore effects, idiotic attempts at humor, and you end up with one of the worst films of any year. If you choose to watch this anyway, do not watch the making of supplement first as it contains spoilers. I did find it amusing that in the making of extra, everyone is having a great time and talks up the film and the people involved. My question is; did any of you actually watch the finished product? A total waste of time, almost anything else is better.

Summary: I want my money back
Comment: Contains spoilers.
OK, I knew I should have rented this movie before I bought it. It was a waste of $20.00. I had high hopes because I loved the original movie and the two sequels. I knew this would be a direct sequel to the original, so I knew to ignore 2 and 3. I was excited to see the original Angela, nothing against Pamela Springsteen, but I couldn't wait to see Felissa reprise her role. This is what I was most disappointed about. We only get to see her, without her "diguise", for the last minute of the movie! I feel ripped off!
This movie revolved way too much around Alan. Kids are cruel, this is true, but he practically begged for it. I felt no simpathy for him, he was a bully himself.
The only reason I give this movie two stars is because we get to see some of the original cast members, and my oh my, Ricky sure got hot!
I would recommend this movie for a rental only, don't waste your money to buy it.

Summary: Prepare for disappointment
Comment: I found the original movies this was based on campy, funny, shocking, and Exploitative. Unfortunately, Return to summer camp contains none of these elements. OK.. maybe campy.. but not in the spirit of the originals. my message to the producers... become more familiar with you genre. This was a watchable movie, but hardly holds a candle to the originals. If you are going to remake an 80's horror exploitation film... then do that! Don't nerf a cult classic.

Summary: Be wary of the 5-star ratings, this movie is Awful!
Comment: The previous movies went downhill after the first (as is usually the case), although I still enjoyed them as a fan of the genre. Now, where do I start with this one?
The only thing more annoying than the sub-sub-par acting was the shouting in pretty much every single scene of the movie. I wish I were joking, but this was one of those movies where it was just excruciating to watch through to the end. If you really must watch this movie I highly recommend taking some form of pain killer before pressing play, you'll thank me later.
A few other thoughts...
- None of the characters were likable on any level.
- The whole plot, if you can call it that, was ill-conceived at best.
- This just seems like a poor attempt to cash-in on the Sleepaway Camp name and make a few bucks from the fans with fond memories of the originals.
I really cannot understand all the 5-star ratings/reviews for this movie, the only reason I'm throwing my 2 cents in is in the hope that someone reads this and stays clear of this low-budget trash. Don't get me wrong, there are great low-budget horror flicks out there, most of the greats are low-budget, but this is certainly not one of them.
