Sleepaway Camp / USA / 1983

I am scolded for my persistence in deeming the ending of Sleepaway Camp one of the most durably frightening images in film. Granted, the entire enterprise is predictable, and the acting is often so poor that the film may not be endearingly campy to some, but this is still the best slasher film I’ve ever seen, and a unique one in its characterization and how deftly it ballasts adolescent hijinks with the increasingly sinister actions of its killer.
