     No shock ending this time out.	
     But it's a hell of a lot more watchable than the 
original "Sleepaway Camp (1983)."
     "Angela" is now played by rock icon Bruce 
Springsteen's sister, Pamela. She got a sex change, 
a ticket out of the booby hatch and a job at a summer 
camp. 
     On the outside she's the quintessential Christian 
camp counselor who lives every minute of the day 
promoting innocent summer camp fun, from arts and 
crafts, to camping out, to singing songs at breakfast. 
Springsteen even does a number. But wait, this gets 
better.
     On the inside, and in the shadows of the camp, 
she's a psychopath bent on "sending home" any 
camper who violates that innocence. And she dishes 
it out not only with knives, but with anything she can 
get her hands on.
     What's neat about the film, however, is its sense 
of humor. Honestly, you could probably call the film 
a horror comedy. It doesn't take itself too seriously. 
At the same time, the makers of the film poke fun at 
a number of slasher film conventions.
     In slasher films, the kills have to be unique. In this 
film, it seems like Angela is well aware of this.
     There's a funny scene where she's in a cabin and 
she's debating about what to kill an unsuspecting 
camper with. A pen? A hair brush? No. Then she sees 
her guitar. Nobody's even been killed with a guitar 
string before (at least not that I recall). So she plucks 
one and goes to work.
     Another scene has two campers dressing up as 
characters from other horror films to scare Angela. 
But, obviously being aware of the genre too, Angela 
scares them by dressing up as another, "Leatherface."
     Perverts will love it too. The girls are hot and 
there's more than enough boob shots. 
     The film also recognizes the fact that boob fiends 
love horror films. There's a scene where two teenage 
boys are snapping photos from the window of the 
girls' cabin. And they get some good shots.
     "Sleepaway Camp II" isn't a classic, but you won't 
be sorry you popped it in your video player. I'm sure 
"The Boss" even watches it now and then for shits 
and giggles.
