Why it’s HorroRated

Springsteen still has fun with Angela's chirpy, judgmental menace, and a few kills land as gleefully absurd black comedy. Beyond that, it plays like a rushed copy of the second film, with a thinner camper roster, flat jokes and a runtime that feels padded even at under eighty minutes. Completists and lovers of late-eighties direct-to-video slashers will find some campy laughs. Everyone else should stop at the original.

Synopsis

Back at the scene of her earlier crimes, Angela (Pamela Springsteen) poses as a camper in Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland (1989), made right after the second film, at a summer camp turned social experiment where she starts sorting out the guests she deems unworthy. Michael A. Simpson directed again, with Tracy Griffith and Michael J. Pollard among the cast.
