Sleepaway Camp (DVD)
What superficially appears to be an ordinary `80s horror flick is actually, upon deeper inspection, something much more bizarre. Hints of incest, transsexuality, and homoeroticism lie beneath the surface in this story of a summer camp where employees and campers start dropping like flies. History has lumped this into the HALLOWEEN/FRIDAY THE 13TH rip-off category, which is an oversight.R"
