Sleepaway Camp

Synopsis:

After a horrible boating accident kills her family, shy, sullen Angela moves in with her eccentric Aunt Martha and protective cousin Ricky. One summer, Martha sends the kids to Camp Arawak. Soon after their arrival, bizarre, increasingly violent accidents claim the lives of various campers. Who is the twisted individual behind these murders? The disclosure of the murderer’s identity is one of the most shocking climaxes in the history of American cinema.

Quick Thoughts:

While I have not yet seen this film, it appears to have caused quite a stir among the community as some via it as transphobic and even homophobic. Until I get the chance to watch it and form my own opinion, all I have to say is that it’s a film from the 80’s which was not the most supportive of LGBTQ characters. So keep that in mind when you watch “Sleepaway Camp.”
