Michael O'Keefe Angela Baker(Pamela Springsteen),the crazed killer, returns to the woods reinventing herself at Sleepaway Camp, now called Camp New Horizons. Posing as a mild mannered camper, Angela observes the participants at the revamped retreat. A gathering of teens, some well-to-do trying not to snob the less fortunate. Really doesn't matter to Angela, she just waits for someone to do something real stupid and simply kills them in various inventive ways. A lazy old bag named Lilly(Sandra Dorsey), runs the camp for good publicity and the money of course. And at her every whim and request, is horny old dirt ball Herman(Michael J. Pollard). The real dimwit is Snowboy(Kyle Holman); and you know that Miss Baker really wants her hands on him.If you like camp movies and crave horror as a relaxation; you'll probably find this actually may be the best escape of the trilogy. Springsteen is smooth and fantastic, and makes this flick so easy and fun to watch. Other actors could have put forth more energy; but it is what it is. Gory and bloody, yes. Disturbing sequences and sexual content, yes. But its fun. Also in the cast: Daryl Wilcher, Randi Layne, Mark Oliver and Kashina Kessler.

zombiefan89 Angela is FAR different from the shy insecure boy from the first movie. Yes, she's a he, it's revealed in the first one so it's technically not a spoiler for the third one. He has a very sarcastic and quirky sense of humor, however dark and twisted it may be. He delights in killing and seizes opprotunities that seemed rather forced at times. Those trust games and that reporter asking for cocaine were very over the top. This is quite possibly the worst "horror" movie ever made, but that's because...it's a comedy!! I honestly had no idea about that going in. I had just watched the first one, and I hadn't seen the second one yet. Also, it's really not that graphic compared to the first one! Yes, there's blood, but most of the kills are devoid of any real violence. The camera cuts away at the last second, or the attacks seem too "cute" to actually be fatal, like the way he kills one of the counselors by whacking him with stick, which didn't seem to really hurt him at first. It reminded me of that black woman from Tom and Jerry who would beat Tom with a broom. Angela always has some wise crack about every situation, too. There's no real suspense to be had in this movie. you know exactly who Angela is going to kill and in what order. Lines like "Is that all for a good bye? You might never see me again!" give everything away. You know who the killer is the whole movie, unlike in the first one. Accpeting the fact that this is a comedy, I have to give it 10 stars! I laughed at every kill! Pamela Springsteen is a hilarious psychopath, and almost all of the characters are hatable enough, you're glad when they die. Oh, and I love the way they found that Jason mask in the lake, that was priceless!

acidburn-10 Angela returns again to another stupid and pointless sequel, she returns yet again to the camp where she murdered everyone only this time under a new name Maria and a new look, but then her murderous instinct's kick in and she starts killing again.Pamela Springsteen returns once again in this silly and stupid sequel as Angela Baker (originally played by Felissa Rose). Well, Sleepaway Camp 3 is basically Sleepaway Camp 2 all over again but with less campers and a more good-looking Pamela Springsteen and once again the comedy seems to be more in focus than the horror. Don't you just hate when that happens to originally good horror flicks? Angela's one-liners are stupid and never deliver so much as a giggle.The acting is just as bad as the acting in the second movie and it almost feels as if they shot this directly after wrapping up production on the second movie since it's even the same director.Sleepaway Camp III is a dull and stupid slasher that I don't get why slasher fans like it, the killings this time round are quite dull, but the one Angela placing a rap tape in the tape player of her next victim was enjoyable and quite funny.All in all awful slasher that only gets a 3 because of the inventive rap sceme murder

Scarecrow-88 Tongue-in-cheek slasher spoof, made back-to-back with the previous installment, Unhappy Campers, from director Michael A Simpson and writer Fritz Gordon, has serial killing transsexual Angela Baker(Pamela Springsteen)assuming the identity of Maria, a street kid she plows through with a garbage truck, so she can infiltrate a new Summer Camp near where she was once counselor. The camp is an experiment where underprivileged and rich youth join together in a unified setting proving that "we all can get along" no matter what kind of family and locale we come from. It goes horribly wrong when Angela, under wig, returns to her "Angel of Death" role murdering those she considers morally corrupt. Three wilderness groups are formed with the various youth camps spreading out with a counselor assigned with Angela wiping out one set of victims at a time, moving to the next one when she's finished. Before you know it, there are few left to slaughter.Cute red-head Tracy Griffith(Skeeter;The Final Power)as a suburban band student, and potential boy-toy, East LA Latino "thug-with-a-heart-o-gold", Tony(Mark Oliver) soon find themselves baring witness to Angela's rampage perhaps doomed to the same fate. Kooky B-movie character actor Michael J Pollard has a funny role as one of the founding counselors, with a Playboy bunny belt buckle, who tries landing a wealthy "skank" in a tent, actually succeeding before Angela corners him for execution, sickened at his fornication. Cliff Brand is a cop, Barney Whitmore whose son was beheaded by Angela, the third counselor hoping to someday catch and kill the murderess responsible. Sandra Dorsey is lazy counselor Lily who has her campers performing menial tasks for her such as taking away the trash and bringing her bug spray. Her demise, through the use of a lawnmower, is rather unique. The other victims are the same clichés paraded out for Angela to dispatch in one way or another. Those who either rent or purchase the DVD should check out the raw gore footage included in the special features. While most of them pretty remain intact within the finished product, there's a beheading from Angela's ax(..showing hands still moving with gushing blood flowing)and a nasty aftermath of a victim hoisted by Angela up a flag pole falling head-first splatting to the ground, that are rather memorable. While the sequels to the franchise have a fervent cult following(..Angela using various methods to destroy human lives, following up each murder with a type of witty/witless one-liner)who embrace them as cheesy 80's slasher flicks, I really find them rather joy-less exercises, with most of the murders cheap and clumsy. They are really no different than those repeated Friday the 13th sequels, with Angela assuming Voorhies' role, with the exception of her being a chick and alive. The idea that Angela can kill so many without being discovered is a stretch, to say the least, especially with all the screaming. And, while many love the warped humor Angela provides, this sequel even strains to deliver in that category, giving us something to smirk at here and there because most of the characters are developed for us to despise so that we can giggle when she destroys them in *creative* ways. One victim has his arms removed by a rope tied to a jeep Angela drives. An ignited fire-cracker is used on a practical joker's face. Angela uses a stick to pummel victims across the head. One is shot several times by a gun into the chest. Tent spikes are hammered into a victim's hand and head. But, even though they sound gruesome, director Simpson shies away from displaying the gory goods for the audience clamoring for such violence.
