Nobody's Favorite, Part 2

Welcome to the second edition of "Nobody's Favorite."

MOVIE: Return to Sleepaway Camp
ANALYSIS: The original Sleepaway Camp is considered something of a standard for the ultimate in cheesy 80's horror. Return to Sleepaway Camp, the fifth installment in the "Sleepaway Camp" series continues in this tradition of hopefully-on-purpose cheesiness. Sure, it had it's fun moments, like watching Vincent Pastore's face eaten by rats, and overall, taking it for what it is, Return to Sleepaway Camp isn't really any worse than one would expect. As a matter of fact, in a somewhat shameful way, it's fun to watch. However, there are deep-set problems with this movie: cheesy-on-purpose "horror" movies made in modern times do not come across with the same campy joy as the B-movie-quality fare of the 1980's. Even made as a tongue-in-cheek sequel, Return simply doesn't cut it. Anyone who is actually and admits to being a fan of the "Sleepaway Camp" series will likely list the first (or second or third) installments as being their "favorite." The only actor in this movie who even possibly has a fan-base is Vincent Pastore. And you can be sure that anyone who is a fan of Pastore does not list this movie as their favorite.
CONCLUSION: Return to Sleepaway Camp is nobody's favorite movie.
