I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

5.3 is overrating this movie. This movie has an awful story line. It not scary at all. The ending is awful. This movie is pooh pooh. Good actor wasted there talent being in this awful movie. Do not wast your time. Do not wast your money. d.Do not see this awful movie. I give 4 out of 10 because it is a stinky pile of pooh. This about some kid going to camp and a murder is kill them off one by one. It could have been a scary movie. If the story line had not been so awful. This movie is very stinky pooh pooh. Do not see it. The people who wrote this movie have no talent. This is a bad movie. Bad movie bad movie bad movie do not see it.

Teenage Wasteland certainly isn't as good as the first Sleepaway Camp, but it still has a lot to offer. Pamela Springsteen is back from the second Sleepaway Camp film and is just as funny and disturbing in her role, playing the mass killer Angela Baker as she ends up in yet another adventure, pretending to be one of her murder victims at Camp New Horizons.Camp New Horizons, "an experiment in sharing" as the elderly pair of camp counselors like to call it, is a summer camp where snobby suburb teens are residing in groups with tough city kids. Angela quickly starts her business, beginning with murdering the pervy old camp counselor Herman while he makes love with one of the teenage campers. As the body count builds up, Angela comes face to face with an old enemy, the cop who arrested her back in '83, officer Barney Whitmore.You can definitely see the era this was made in while watching it, unlike in the previous two. Angela's killings are unpredictable though, from giving a news reporter some highly corrosive Ajax cleaning powder and telling her it's cocaine to snort, to tying a snotty racist girl to a flagpole and dropping her to the ground. It's hard though to see Angela as the antagonist in this one, since she only kills the sleazy, bigoted and annoying people (save for the cop). The acting was great, the soundtrack was decent enough, and Teenage Wasteland is definitely a great addition to the Sleepaway Camp series.(One of the characters was named SnowBoy though, which I'll never understand).

This third installment of the Sleepaway Camp series attempts to amp up the humor, nudity, and body count to make up for its lack of fresh ideas, but, oddly, the component most slasher movie fans will be eagerly expecting is dialed way down.By far the least splattery chapter of the franchise, Teenage Wasteland provides the teenagers and the wasteland, but doesn't deliver the gore goods nearly often enough, and despite a few novel methods of dispatch, most of the anticipated carnage occurs off-screen. That approach would work fine if this wasn't a sequel to a charmingly seedy snuff film about a series of brutal murders committed by a pubescent female psychopath with a penis. But, since the film-makers should have been keenly aware that the main reason genre devotees are even showing up for round three is to see what gruesome tidings are in store this time out, the dearth of high-impact gross-out gags seriously hinders the film."Tame" is probably the wrong word to describe a movie that features characters being crushed in the compactor of a trash truck, snorting cleaning products that have been passed off as cocaine, getting their heads run over by lawn mowers, having firecrackers explode inside their nostrils, and getting their arms torn off at the roots. However, stripped of the genre's version of a money shot, most of these sequences ultimately fall flat, and what we're left with is a shining example of impressively crappy cinema that's nowhere near as fun to watch as it should be.The film follows the continuing saga of Angela, who starts our journey off by killing an inner city teenager and stealing her identity so she can attend the rejuvenated Camp Rolling Hills in the dead girl's place. Once she's back in her element, our feisty murderess gets right down to business and racks up a roster of victims that handily matches if not exceeds the overachieving final tally of Sleepaway Camp II. Her adversaries for this installment include lecherous and lazy camp counselors, the police officer father of one of the previous film's casualties, and of course the usual bevy of pricelessly one-dimensional teenage archetypes.Despite the relatively restrained level of bloodshed, there's enough naked flesh on display to rival the amount showcased in the franchise up to this point, and the same brand of sophomoric humor prevalent in the first two Camps is peppered in throughout, so the sleazy tone is at least consistent with the rest of the series. Unfortunately, none of the jokes are particularly funny and some of Angela's one-liners are real groaners, so this aspect of the movie is ultimately pretty lame in comparison to its occasionally witty predecessors (unless of course you like the idea of Angela recording an a cappella rap song to inform a stereotypical urban youth that she's about to kill him).In fact, the most amusing moment in this film isn't even from the script; it's the visible displeasure displayed by the buxom lass called upon for a sex scene with Michael J. Pollard, who's easily thirty years her senior here and looks every bit like it. Though the dubbed-in sound effects suggest that she's in the throes of ecstasy, the poor actress actually appears to be repulsed by Pollard's kisses, and movements that are supposed to be writhing come-hither gestures look more like desperate attempts to have as little physical contact with the aged actor as possible.I'm not honestly trying to take this film more seriously than it warrants, and you can feel free to read my review of Unhappy Campers if you have any doubts about my sincere love for endearingly awful movies like this. But while Teenage Wasteland is assuredly cut from the same cloth as part II (judging by the recycled wardrobe, props, and sets all over the place, I'm guessing they were shot at the exact same time) this third act simply isn't quite as satisfying as the rest of the series that spawned it.Still, if you enjoyed your last visit to Camp Rolling Hills, you'll probably deem this trip a worthy enough use of 80 minutes too. It's just disappointing that the film-makers apparently used up all their stage blood before they got around to finishing the trilogy.

Angela murders some New York City girl and steals her identity in order to attend Camp New Horizons where spoiled rich kids are mixed up with some of the underprivileged for some bizarre 'experiment in sharing'.It's a perfect ground for Angela to kill as many teenagers as she can."Sleepaway Camp III:Teenage Wasteland" is extremely fun slasher comedy with some very entertaining characters and pretty high body count.The killings including the lawnmower and the flagpole deaths are violent and creative.Several characters for example Michael J.Pollard are truly weird and memorable.If you enjoyed "Sleepaway Camp" and "Sleepaway Camp II:Unhappy Campers" you can't go wrong with this silly but enjoyable kill fest.8 slashed teens out of 10.
