Sleepaway Camp

There are major spoilers ahead, so stop reading if you don't want to hear 'em. First off, I really like twists in movies. I love Primal Fear and The Usual Suspects. But there is a point where a twist can cross the line and be just plain stupid, like in this movie. Any horror buff can see that Angela is the killer in the movie. The twist comes at the end where Angela is naked and we see that she's really a guy. Blagh. The acting was pretty terrible, and whoever did the costums for this movie should be shot. The only good thing about this movie is that it spawned 2 decent sequels. 1 out of 5.
