This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. While the original Sleepaway Camp was far from a masterpiece, it at least had a cool ending to go with something that had potential. While bringing in several of the original characters all grown up back(including Felissa Roe as Angela), this movie was a very bad idea. Micheal Gibney was neither a sympathetic or even remotely likable. His character was one of the worst I have ever seen. If you have any respect to these movies, skip this gar

Maybe we shouldn't have returned. This version of Sleepaway camp was not very good. First of all it had a totally different feel compared to the other movies. It was just one giant anti-bullying movie. They took the bully thing way too far for way too long as well. You watch one kid just get almost tortured for the entire length of the film. It gets really uncomfortable and makes the movie more sad than scary. On the flip side, the boy being bullied is kind of a turd...

My personal favorite of the series, and probably the most I've ever laughed at a horror (and a lot of comedies too). The characters are the most rediculous group of people ever. There are some scenes where you know something bad is going to happen but they spend 10 minutes building it up. (SPOILER) One of the funniest scenes is where two guys alternate looking through a hole at a spike. they do this about 15 times and you know its getting somebody in the eye. Ugh and I hated that fat kid so much

Why the hell to do a movie so bad and with a poor aesthetic.

The original film was no masterpiece - low-budget, mediocre acting and writing, familiar horror concept. But for what it was it worked - (some of) the foul mouthed kids were identifiable, the effects were decent, and the ending was twisted. But in this feature, all the kids are unlikeable and obnoxious, the plot is ho-hum, the ending is predictable, and the death scenes don't get interesting till the very end. The worst of the series.

Lacks both the subversive weirdness of the original and the kinda-likable humour of the sequels. Annoying characters, poorly paced, and with an ending that tries to be shocking by reproducing the original - which, of course, is the least shocking thing it could possibly do.

Topples any conceptions of over-the-top campiness.

Appalling, insipidly amateurish redo of Hiltzik’s own middling but memorable original proves that the chilling final “reveal” scene was indeed a happy accident – as if Van Sant’s PSYCHO had been helmed by Uwe Boll, this feels more like a fan-made slavish copy than its own thing, though Gibney’s execrable bully/bullied lead makes the film grating and unpleasant to watch, even on a derisive level; even the enigmatic sherriff's best moments are botched by Hiltzik’s ham-handed directorial hand. Ugh.

The acting is markedly better than the first, but that doesn't mean it's not terrible. The actual killing in this movie is pretty sparse, it mostly consists of an idiotic fat kid getting picked on, and while that's entertaining, it doesn't make a good horror movie. For anyone who's seen the original, this movie has an utterly predictable conclusion, which was the only thing going for the first.

The movie is full of completely loathsome characters, horrendous dialog, an idiotic story, boring scares and terrible cinema. I cannot possibly recommend this film to anyone except maybe fans of the Sleepaway camp trilogy who can't tell that Sleepaway camp, and it's sequels, weren't any good in the first place. Isaac Hayes' last role and good Lord what a way to go.

Lacking anything good, funny, or smart, Return to Sleepaway Camp suffers from having bad story, development, and being stupid, unlike its predecessors. This return was a bad idea. The only good things are Angela and some of the kills. I recommend sticking to the first 3 films and not returning back to this.
