An enjoyable, derivative slice’n’dice outrage from the Golden Age of Slashers (1983), Sleepaway Camp whisks us to Camp Arawak, where the mandatory psycho is on the loose chopping up nubile teens. A gleeful bland of gore, gratuitous nudity, homosexuality and controversial transgender psychopathy, with a big ‘twist’ ending, it spawned several incresingly comedic sequels starring Bruce Springsteen’s sister (no, really). You are just a Google search away from the debate that continues to rage over whether the film is transphobic or transgressive.
