Another I was very much looking forward to, even though I knew it couldn’t possibly be half-decent let alone live up to my favourite installment of the original trilogy which was the hilarious Unhappy Campers. But in most areas this surprised me. The look and style, first of all: this reminded me of Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Feast 2 in that it’s gotta take some skill these days to make a movie so badly acted and shot as this really is. Like it’s not even 2000s bad acting here, it’s like 80s bad acting; if that makes sense … The “fat kid” is possibly the most annoying character ever to grace the genre and somehow even that adds something good to the movie, lol. Felissa Rose returns from the original to reprise Angela Baker (she was played by Pamela Springsteen in the other parts; I was disappointed to hear she wouldn’t return, but Rose is great though her role, not to mention the actress that plays it, isn’t that important here) This may make me sound stupid but I really didn’t figure out where Angela was for most of the movie, lol; though I finally did at least before the unmasking. In short, it’s a worthy new entry to the series if only for the fact that stylistically it blends in with them so well … it’d be almost a shame if it were slickly Bayified like so many new horrors are. The “broomstick in the floor” scene is the icing on the cake for me, really; I think if they’d looked down that hole just one more time I would’ve wet, ROFL …
