Looking forward to you watching part 2. Leave it be after that though
Thanks Cody! Just signed up for Factor meals using your code. Love your channel man! Thanks again.
I saw the thumbnail and instantly smirked, knowing Cody would make the joke. LOL
“Eat shit and live” is still one of the best insults I’ve ever heard.
I aspire to write dialogue that well.
Are you serious I laughed at the cringe of it.
Looking back, the scariest thing about this movie are the older men sexually harassing the young teenage girls
Right?! It should really be called Sleepaway Creeps.
The paedophile chef was the most deserving victim.
@@Xehanort10 and he didn't even die...shame
It's insane!
@@CodyLeachYT and you were definitely right that this film touched on modern day topics that were just big no no's back then
Angela kills the kids that bullied her. The ones on the camp ground threw sand at her as she was running away after being thrown in the lake. So, yeah, we could have had more but it still works.
Did you know that the guy who takes over head cook after the first head cook gets burned is James Earl Jones who plays Darth Vader is his dad
Sure did
“Eat shit & Live!”🤣🤣🤣🤣. I love the bitchin snark of the 80’s
The ending of this is absolutely wild 😂
I absolutely adore this film, that ending never fails to surprise family and friends I show for the first time. This is the perfect summer slasher horror for me, yes more than any of the friday the 13th movies, the burning, etc
This and The Burning blast the original Friday way out of the water 💦
I don't get the love the Burning gets. it is boring as hell. it bored the hell out of me the two times I tried to watch it. it only has one memorable kill scene.
I only got to watch this for the first time recently and I had not read anything about it at all...and it was really good...I never even knew about the ending...and it packs a real punch.
I saw this on VHS in 87 and I’ve loved it since !!!
I must not have worded things well. I'm aware the kids butchered in sleeping bags were the ones who threw sand at Angela. It's the way the scene is edited into the 3rd act that feels so jarring and confusing. There's no lead up or follow up it's just randomly placed shortly before the killer reveal.
*"A slasher with balls!"*
I hope you meant figuratively. 🤣🤣🤣
She was male. Sorry for spoiler
@@pavlelazarevic3270
I know.
Literally!
Still one of the biggest twist endings in movies
1983 is the greatest year in horror for Sleepaway Camp and Psycho 2 alone.
When you asked you didn't understand the part where the little kids were murdered and why they were murdered. Those kids were the ones that were picking on Angela many times at the swimming area. You see them splashing water at her and doing other stuff throughout the film. I think that they didn't want to show it because they were actually kids but I still think finding all those boys all hacked up was very effective.
Ya those kids threw sand on angela on the beach. That’s why they became a target
‘Eat shit and live’ delivered in that deadpan is the voice of every teen boy I’ve ever taught!
Felissa Rose is a national treasure
I finally saw this movie after seeing the kill count on the dead meat channel a long time ago. Judy won the golden chainsaw for coolest kill while the kids hacked to death in their sleeping bags won the dull machete for lament kill. But I’ve heard it was meant to be the death of the little kids who threw sandy at Ricky and Angela.
This is the kind of movie where if someone else walks into the room halfway through and starts watching it, they'll immediately remark "What the hell are you watching?" Super campy with a jaw dropping ending.
Lmao true
Honestly i never heard of Sleepaway Camp until about 10 years ago and watched it for the very first time just last year and honestly it’s one of my favorite 80’s movies ever! I think it’s fair to say that this is one of most underrated horror films of the last four decades to say the very least. Felissa Rose did a fantastic job throughout the runtime of this movie and really gave it her all especially considering that infamous twist ending. #SleepawayCamp #1983
You owe it to yourself to listen to the podcast How Did This Get Made. They have an episode about this movie and it's brilliant.
I'm 45 years old, so I've grown up on, and loved, most 80's horror movies. This one slipped me by. A friend back then told me it was a 'cornier' version of Friday the 13th. That's all I needed to hear to never see it....until your review. You and I agree on a lot of movies so I figured I should give it a shot. I loved it!!! Your impression of Angela is one of the funniest things you've ever done. Now, time to see the rest of the series! Classic cheesy 80's gold!! Thanks!
I'm an 80s kid and I knew about this movie, but never had a chance to watch it...Until last night! I didn't have high expectations but I knew I was gonna like it and I did. Can't wait to watch part 2 tonight!
Omg the girl who plays Angela was standing right next to me a couple months ago in October at a horror movie convention. She was next to me multiple times saying hello to a lot of people but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out who she was. I’ve never seen this movie
The kids in the woods scene is random. But I’m pretty sure Angela just didn’t like them throwing sand at her. So she killed them, even though it’s like the mildest thing anyone does to her in the movie. What surprised me is that they suggest Angela is just insane and murderous, and not out for revenge on the negligence of the staff that killed her family. I guess the revenge against the camp staff motif would be too derivative of FT13th. Still the arrow in the neck shot is 100% a shout-out to that movie
I remember renting this when I was about 10. My older brother stopped what he was doing & watched the last 15 mins with me, just so he could watch my reaction. It was the very first time that I ever said, "What the fuck??"
I had the pleasure of meeting Felissa Rose at a convention recently. She is such a nice person and was so engaging with her fans. If she is ever at a convention near you, buy a ticket and go meet her. You'll instantly feel like she is your new friend. I haven't seen the fourth Sleepaway Camp movie, but did enjoy her performance in Victor Crowley.
I will never, EVER in my life time forget when I first saw this movie and the got to the end and was just left going................. WTF!!???, God I love this movie, so cheesy but the cheesines is the charm of this masterpiece, great work as always Cody👍
I wish this director has made more. This is my all-time favorite movie and reminds me so much of John Waters style but with horror. I was four when it was made and watched it when I was twelve and yeah it was supposed to be comedy. It was making fun of the camp movies in the best way.
I had my wife watch this film for the first time this year, the ending got her so good! It's a pretty good movie, but the movie poster is visually one of the best horror movie posters ever!
One of the most underrated movies of all time. The ending man, the ending!
I absolutely love this film! I saw part 2 several times in the 80’s before seeing this one. The older I get the better it gets!!! 💯 I watch it at least once a year or more. In 30 years I’ve only met two other people who enjoyed it!! 😂
How can you be surprised about the camp factor of the flick? It is CALLED Sleepaway CAMP!
I actually love this movie. I thought it did a good job for what it was supposed to be. My jaw dropped in the ending. Yeah the killer was obvious but that twist got to me. Nobody will ever predict it
It’s flawed as fuck, but still fantastic and you can feel and see the passion from everybody involved on display here, it’s so much fun to watch! Got to be one of the best slashers ever made, warts and all!
I loved the aunt Martha character. Her acting with the way she was styled and the look of her house felt very Twin Peaks to me.
Felissa Rose a few weeks ago in Houston during a con announced that Sleepaway camp will be coming as a series and I believe she said she will be producing it
Really?!
@@babydevyl yes really it was during Danielle Harris and scout Compton podcast they did for the houston horror film fest they had her on in person and she said that about the series so very exciting
Anyone else just kind of assumed Cody had already reviewed this given how much content he creates ? 😂
I thought he did I thought I found the movie thru his review but it was somebody else I guess
Not really seeing how he's mentioned it a few times
Drumdums reviewed it and revisited also.
That twist ending puts a whole new meaning to "Peter gazing", so to speak 😁
Oh man!
You can't unsee that ending!
This movie starts so ridiculous and somehow gets more and more twisted unexpectedly. I absolutely love it.
We need a Burning review soon
I agree 100 percent the 70s 80s were bold love the classic horrors
I love this film so much and noticed you dropping references to it over the years. So happy you’re finally reviewing it!
It's really fun seeing these videos the last few months where you have the confidence to make the jokes you been making. Makes a great tone for the videos. Keep up the good work
I'm a 90's baby and I'm obsessed with all things 80's. The big hair, the great music and the plethora of horrible acting horror movies. I did predict the ending but I doubted myself because I'm like wait but maybe I'm confused...didnt so and so and so and so die....
I was definitely still shocked 😲 especially with how graphic it was 🤣
I have been waiting for Cody to do this film series… and this was probably the funniest intro I’ve seen Cody do in a while. I busted out laughing. Haven’t even seen the review yet but I already know what’s coming.
I just met 3 of the cast at a convention and had them sign my poster. Angela, Paul and Meg. They were all awesome and talked to us first about 10 minutes. This movie is one of my guilty pleasures. It totally works for me..
This movie has one of those endings that will haunt you for your life. Its still so effective no matter how many times I watched this since a kid. This and sleep away camp 2 was movies that was bad but so damn good at the same time lol pure gold!
That was one heck of a good review! I'm looking forward to the next time you stream on RUclips.
So I showed this movie to my transgender girlfriend and funnies thing that happened was that after the boating scene in the beginning, she thought that Ricky was the boy from the opening and when I said Angela was the kid from the beginning who lived, she said "I thought it was the boy". But when we got to the twist she literally slapped my arm and said "I f*ckin knew the boy lived!" She thinks Angela is an interesting slasher
ur transgender girlfriend 😂
I will never argue with anyone who says Sleepaway Camp is a garbage movie, but I love this movie so damn much lmao! The acting cracks me up and the ending is iconic! I cannot wait for this franchise review series! It's one of my favorites!
The ending is smarter than the movie has any right to be!
Rubbish
It is not at ALL
Awesome review as always bro, I can't wait for your review of the other sleepaway camp films then the ranking. Keep up the great work
I just watch Sleepawy Camp for the first time today and I really like it and the ending was shocking was not expecting that.They had the balls do things in this movies that there's no was in hell they could make a movie like that today and get ways with things they did back in 1983 and i will definitely be buying this movie.
Cody this is legit one of your best reviews. Good stuff man
Shoutout to Factor for supporting content creators!!
I will fully admit and embrace the fact that I am a sucker for the ridiculously campy horror films, especially from the 80s. This is one of my favorites and I'm so glad you are finally doing a review series on it.
Every time I watch a new horror movie on Tubi or something, I come here to see what Cody things and as usual, he took the words right outta my mouth! Yeesh what an ending 😆
Another awesome review Cody. You never disappoint. Great job man. Keep it up 😊👊
Just rewatched this in its entirety as an adult because they put this up on Peacock. So happy to see you reviewed this shit! Favorite horror channel on RUclips right now.
I like how 70s and 80s movies and TV people have mustaches
This is a classic for 80s kids who rented this on VHS. I will always remember watching this in the early 90s during a sleepover with my sister and friends and the ending. We laughed so hard and I still remember that night
14:26 damn those are some crazy eyes that can suck out your soul, very creepy and funny face 😆, you are a very entertaining guy to watch and that really loves slasher films, keep up the good work.
Absolute classic slasher! One of the best endings to a horror film ever too. Legit did not see it coming at all.
I’ve been wanting you to do a review for this 80s classic for months now and it’s finally here 😁
"Disasterpiece" is 💯% accurate, and it's also one of my favorite subgenres. 😅
Outside of John Carpenters, the fog, this is the review I’ve been waiting to get from you these past few years!
The Fog is in the near future
@@CodyLeachYT great news!
I feel the cheese was (somewhat) deliberate. It lulls you into this feeling of an all-too-familiar, knock-off slasher film. You get comfortable laughing at it, then BOOM! It traumatizes you lol. Maybe it’s an accidental masterpiece, but oh boy did this one stick with me…
I think it was accidental. Robert Hiltzick wrote and directed it I believe and tried to capture that cheesiness with return to sleepaway camp but im sure you know how that turned out. 😂
8:56 I did not see this coming
The kids that were kicking the sand at Angela were the same kids who got hacked in the sleeping bags
Love the movie - fond of II as well. Was fortunate enough to see it without knowing anything about the ending and wow, it really did smack me in the face! The whole movie is so campy and silly it completely lures you into a false sense of security........... then BAM!! Imagine laying down on a remote sunny beach on a beautiful day listening the sounds of the sea, maybe some wind chimes in the distance, completely at peace in the world then someones sneaks up and simultaneaously lets off an air horn in your ear, sprays mace on your junk and dumps a bucket of ice water on you. Thats how the ending felt to me!!
Watched this movie a year ago after hearing u talk about it. I had a blast with it. Guilty pleasure for the sequels as well. One of your best reviews. U def brought the zaniness camp vibes to this. Awesome man. Awesome
All the things you mentioned on why this movie would’ve been “cancelled” are why I love 80s horror and why The 80s are the greatest decade of horror .
Nothing was off limits, lots of creativity, and lots of variety . The 3 most known camp slashers are The Burning Sleepway camp and Friday The 13th and none of them are alike
Have you heard of Mary Whitehouse? She was trying to cancel horror movies, actually most tv stuff from what I’ve heard. Also video nasties. All 80s stuff.
The cop with the fake mustache.😂😂🤣🤣
Duuuudeeee you’ve been talking about doing this forever!! hell yeah!!
Recently your making your videos with more humor. I like it. I still need to see all the sequels. Great review series in coming?
Man I've been waiting for this one from you!
My neighbors just gave me their factor box since they were going out of town and they were so good, cool to see them as the sponsor
I was surprised how good they were. They were actually REAL food. Lol That shouldn't be a selling point but sadly it is.
@@CodyLeachYT yeah you can tell it's real meat and vegetables and healthy but still tastes really good
i first heard of this movie when I bought a 4 pack dvd at a dollar tree. It came with House by the Cemetery, night of the living dead, sleepaway camp and some other one
Nice Review Cody! I had no clue Sleepaway Camp was a franchise I figured there was only one. I definitely have to watch the rest
YES FINALLY!!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REVIEW THIS!!!!
Nobody ever mentions how unintentionally funny the opening is, the guy getting hit with the boat and his partners melodramatic line delivery of "John"
Fun fact, the actress who played Angela in Sleepaway Camp is in Terrifier 2. She plays the principal who scolds the brother for the dead animal.
This and The Burning always puts me in the summer mood!
I just realized you haven’t done a review for this movie lol… this franchise is one of my favs. Sleepaway Camp 1 and 2 are solid imo. Nice review!
This is one of my favorite 'camp' movies, I love campy horror done right or accidentally right. I was a young teen when I rented this from Hastings.
I remember my sister first telling me about this movie years ago, and it was very hard to catch it on cable because they would always show the sequels and then one day they finally decided to show this movie. I mean I like it, just haven't watched it in years and when it comes to the month of October, I really don't watch Sleepaway camp or the sequels during the month of October.
The fact that you are reviewing this movie is amazing haha. This is one of my favorite horror movies and I actually really enjoy the second and third one for how bat shit crazy they are. I haven’t seen 4th and 5th one. Last I saw there were no streaming or renting options and the dvds are out of print
15:40 earlier in the movie,those kids that died were seen kicking sand at Angela
I'm aware of who they are I'm just saying the way they edit it into the 3rd act is jarring.
@@CodyLeachYT oh ok my bad
i lost it at the "electrical tape" part 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody has opinions and reviews like Cody keep up the amazing movies
The outhouse drowning death in part 2 is why I'm afraid of Porta-Potties.
The way the aunt talks always reminded me of the short, Possibly in Michigan. Which I hear that clip all the time now about the poodle in the microwave.
Great review! This is a good 80s camp slasher! When I watched this for the first time a few years back, the ending really shocked me!
I saw avgn review this in a 2 minute video about 2 weeks ago (around 2/10/23), so i started watching the movie. My wife walked in and said “Youre watching Sleepaway Camp! I used to rent this movie every weekend as a kid!” 😂
I love Sleepaway camp! It doesn't get enough coverage on YT. Great 80's slasher, even without the memorable ending. (Also love the credits song)
Gets me in the mood for Halloween
First time I heard about this movie was from Dead Meat Killcount. Definitely my favourite killcount
Great flick! Also, lmao The Nakatomi Plaza amidst all those horror icons and imagery.
Very well summed up Cody.
I just finished watching this for the first time and I am sitting right on top of the fence 😂
Loved the kills and some of the lines were hilarious.
I need some time to think about what I just watched….
Well, I was getting ready to sit down with a new movie, something from my extensive list of "must-see"'s. But, NOW? Well, now I have to re-watch "Sleepaway Camp" for the millionth time!😆😆🖤
Thanks for your tip Cody & I'm glad you didn't give us the shaft.
Anyone else noticed Cody's hair look exceptionally good in this video!
