Sleepaway Camp (1983)

SYNOPSIS: Happy campers begin to die in a series of horrible accidents turning their summer of fun into a vacation to "dismember".
HIGHS: Holy intro music Batman! SO dramatic. Gay dude (which one?!) gets whacked while taking a "wicked dump".
LOWS: Hairy bellied half shirt - Sammy doesn't like.
MEMORABLE LINES: Look at all that young fresh chicken. (Perv!) Bill: Eat shit and die Ricky! Ricky: Eat shit and LIVE Bill!
NOTE: Way ahead of the crying game with the it's a girl, no it's a boy ending complete with full frontal nudity and Ronny's "How can it be?"

Sammy: 9/10
Johnny: 7/10
Sian: 9/10

I think you had to be alive in the 80's to fully appreciate male short shorts. I recently saw a L.A. Lakers basketball game where they went retro and had all their players wear 80's hot short shorts. I've never seen so many uncomfortable 7 foot tall dudes in my life.

By the way, isn't it funny how all the supposedly "crap" slasher flicks still rule after 20 years and how the highly artistic "classics" all seem to suck? I shall lower my standards from this day forward. And they were never high to begin with.
