I will never forget seeing this movie, alone, at 2 AM, in a dark house in upstate New York. Jesus Christ did that movie scare the shit out of me, and I still believe that the last minute or so of this movie is A) one of the most effectively scary things ever filmed, and B) the greatest ending ever. (In your face, Fight Club and The Sixth Sense.) I think the ending is so effective because not only is the whole thing visually and aurally startling, but you also don't expect it at all from this kind of flick. Up until the end, it's a fun sclice of slasher goodness, and then BAM! The whole damn movie takes on a new meaning. If you watch it again knowing the twist, you really appreciate what a brilliant and intelligent bizarre little movie this is. All of this, PLUS Ronnie's upsetting bulge and Frank The Cop's electrical tape moustache. And Stacie, HOW could you neglect to mention the greatest character ever, Aunt Martha?<BR/>Hail, Sleepaway Camp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-32387693828905653582008-08-17T22:31:00.000-04:002008-08-17T22:31:00.000-04:00I'm glad to see you said "some" things you love, b...I'm glad to see you said "some" things you love, because there is SO much more to love about this movie.
