Batshit Crazy, Which Means I Kinda Love It....

....on the glorious Monsters HD channel, I just watched that cult classic of slasher genericness, Sleepaway Camp, from 1983, I believe it was.

A really shitty movie, at the end of the day. Some terrible acting, laughable dialogue, pointless characters, ripped-off elements from the original Friday the 13th. But still, there's this intriguing tone of "what the fuck" going on throughout, some sort of sleazy macabre effectiveness that can't be denied. Some of the murders are pretty creative, but nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING, can prepare you for the final moment (assuming it's never been spoiled for you, or you haven't seen it already). Holy shit. I forgot just how bonkers the final shot is....part cardboard cutout of our disturbed main character, Angela, part dirty porno. All sadistic weirdness.

I won't spoil it here, I'll just implore that everybody go out and rent this flick ASAP. Trust me.....you'll never see an ending like it again. I promise.
