Released by: Anchor Bay My Advice: Rent it. The transgender serial killer Angela Baker (Springsteen) is back and she is going to have a good camp experience if it kills…everyone else. Camp Rolling Hills has changed hands and names and become Camp New Horizons. Run by the lecherous Herman (Pollard) and the lazy Lily (Dorsey), it’s supposed to be a place for kids, rich and poor, to bridge the class divide and reach a better understanding. It’s actually a way for Lily to afford her cruise trip. Angela takes the identity of one of the poor campers (by running her over with a garbage truck), but the same problems of vulgar language, fornication, and kids just behaving badly persist. Angela has to be careful in her murderous rampage. Barney (Brand), the cop father of one of the kids she killed last year is a counselor and campers Marcia (Griffith) and Tony (Oliver) might be a challenge. Let the games begin in Sleepaway Camp 3.

Released by: Anchor Bay My Advice: Own it if you are a fan of horror. Angela (Springsteen) has changed a lot from the original events of Sleepaway Camp. First she’s had The Operation so she’s now a real girl. And after years of electroshock therapy and heavy-duty medication, she’s no longer a shy, confused serial killer. Now she’s a happy outgoing serial killer. Since she’s been ‘cured’, she’s gotten a job as a counselor at Camp Rolling Hills. She wants the camp to be a place for good clean fun. There are a few good kids like Molly (Estevez), but the rest just want to get high, use vulgar language, and engage in fornication. The owner, Uncle John (Gotell), and the head counselor, T.C. (Clarke), don’t seem to share her intolerance of this behavior. Fortunately for Angela, she has a method to fix these problems that is effective and enjoyable. This, of course, is killing people in grisly, but appropriate ways. Always go with your strengths, I’d say.  Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

Written by: Robert Hiltzik Features:
Released by: Anchor Bay My Advice: Own it if you are a fan of horror. Poor Angela (Rose). Still withdrawn and disturbed by seeing her family slaughtered in a speeding boat accident years ago, she hasn’t been helped by being raised by her rather odd Aunt Martha (Gould). Camp Arawak doesn’t help either with its lecherous employees, malicious girls led by the queen bitch Judy (Fields), and hormonally challenged boys. Still she has her very protective cousin, Ricky (Tiersten), and a budding romance with his friend Paul (Collet). Along with the water sports, softball, and juvenile antics, the camp is having a lot of people die, horribly. The victims were all nasty to Angela before they died. Is shy Angela a brutal killer or is Ricky protecting his cousin to a deadly extreme? With the body count getting ever higher, will anyone escape Sleepaway Camp…alive? (Cue ominous music)  Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

Released by: Dimension My Advice: Wait for cable. Spense Olham (Sinise) is having the worst day of his life. It starts out well with some early morning lovemaking with his wife Maya (Stowe). As he contemplates the planet-buster he designed to turn the tide of war against the Centauri (i.e. the enemy), he is stunned and apprehended by Major Hathaway (D'Onofrio). Bound to a chair, he is told by Hathaway that he isn't Spense Olham, but a Centauri biological android that was made to mimic Olham, infiltrate itself into his life, then explode the bomb it is carrying at its target. Olham thinks Hathaway is insane and after seeing a recording of an android being eviscerated to defuse its bomb, he promptly escapes. Made Public Enemy #1, he hides out in the slums of the city and makes a reluctant ally in Cale (Phifer). They plan to sneak into a hospital to get the proof Olham need to show he is not an…Impostor.
