Sleepaway Camp Reviews
Movie Mezzanine
Jake Cole
Take out the twist, and the film could piggy-back off of her into a stilted and tasteless but nonetheless unique exploration of sexual awakening.
Dare Daniel
Daniel Barnes
An atypical slasher movie that blurs the lines between high and low art, good and bad acting, male and female, proficiency and ineptitude, sophistication and primitivism.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Not a particularly effective movie... [but] it is an exceptionally memorable one - one that lingers in the brain, disturbing and discomfiting.
DVDTalk.com
Bill Gibron
[ Sleepaway Camp] is...a gritty, sleazy Grade-Z rip-off of what Sean Cunningham and the gang more or less perfected over at Crystal Lake.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Still the finest Sleepaway Camp, if only because of its memorable final shot.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
There are great films and then there are magical films, glorious oddities that pop up sui generis out of nowhere. Sleepaway Camp falls squarely into the latter category.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Director Hiltzik is so focused on creating a twist ending that he forgets to design an actual conclusion, leaving behind a number of loose ends and unresolved plot points.

Dustin Putman
[Blu-ray Review] From the awesome newly commissioned cover artwork, to the terrific A/V elements, to a slew of new bonus content going above and beyond the call of duty, this is nothing less than a dream release. Buy it. Like, now.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Evokes a period in time before Ritalin and common sense.
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
While Sleepaway Camp, from writer and director Robert Hiltzik, is far from the best horror film, it is proof that sometimes the payoff at the end is worth the entire venture.
Projected Figures
Anton Bitel
even as the final sequence leaves first-time viewers reeling, those who rewind and rewatch the film can unzip all the hints and tells which Hiltzik has artfully concealed in the dialogue of his subversive screenplay.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
A definite eighties gem with a twisted mystery that really is rather brilliant in countering any resemblance toward "Friday the 13th."
Movie Gazette
Anton Bitel
Camp eighties slasher classic with a well disguised twist.

If there ever was a beautiful disaster, it's Sleepaway Camp. Almost everything about the production is of poor quality; yet, there is an undeniable charm and hilarity to it's end result. The kills are creative and the ending will stick with you forever.
Horror Queers Podcast
Joe Lipsett
The film has undergone a significant reappraisal in recent years - for many this is no longer a homophobic and transphobic text. Despite the creative team having zero intentions to that effect, Sleepaway Camp has been appropriated as a trans revenge film.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
Sleepaway Camp belongs to a pool of slasher films known for their generic prolificacy; it must be noted that it is one of the first and best.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Sleepaway Camp survives as the kind of not-exactly-"good" movie that is somehow kinda great, memorable and eccentric within a formulaic genre context.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
When Sleepaway Camp focuses on something other than the rapidly growing pile of corpses, the movie nearly grinds to a halt.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Cheap F13 knock-off. Good 'camp' value.
Horror Queers Podcast
Trace Thurman
While the film will forever be remembered for its shocker of an ending, there's still an interesting conversation going on about the effects of bullying and abuse on a child that allows the film to rise above some of its more shallow slasher peers.
