    3.0 out of 5 stars Legacy's Uncut Version and the Anchor Bay Editing Details., September 6, 2007
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Sleepaway Camp (DVD)
    As others have pointed out, this Legacy Entertainment (VHS-copy-quality) pan & scan edition is otherwise uncut (if not widescreen), unlike the Starz/Anchor Bay (clean & sharp) widescreen edition of which most customers purchase.

    This is classic low-budget horror with the most memorable ending of any such film in it's genre, whether you care for it or not. Instead of elaborating on my opinion of the film, I thought some would be interested in knowing what makes this edition 'uncut.'

    In the Anchor Bay edition, there are five (5) missing scenes which can only be found on this uncut Legacy Entertainment edition. The total cut is only 23 seconds, but they are interesting if not odd omissions. They are as follows:

    1. The 'skinny dipping' scene, where the boys are shown running and jumping in to the water, is cut by seven (7) seconds. The uncut version shows them naked from behind as they were running.

    2. The first death scene of the boy... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Summer Camp Horror...With A Twist!, April 22, 2000

    (VINE VOICE)   
    This review is from: Sleepaway Camp (DVD)
    Sleepaway Camp is first and foremost, another summer camp slasher film. A very popular slasher subgenre originated with the 1980 classic Friday the 13th. Angela and Ricky are young teenagers off to camp Arawak for the summer, Ricky the likable popular type, and Angela, the quiet and 'different' type. When all kinds of scuzzy camp regulars begin to give Angela a hard time, they start dying rather brutally...much to the dismay of the camp's burnt out owner Mel (Mike Kellin). Sleepaway Camp is a slasher film, however, it goes a bit deeper than that, what gives Sleepaway Camp its distinction, is the bizarre homosexual themes running throughout the film. Why they are there are anybody's guess,but from the strange transvestite (?) Aunt Martha, to Angela's gay father, the truly shocking and disturbing final shot and more, Sleepaway Camp is sick, grisily, twisted, yet always fascinating. Of course, its not always great, many scenes in this film are just laughable, like the... Read more

    3.0 out of 5 stars Full version of the film!, July 10, 2005
    By 
    This review is from: Sleepaway Camp (DVD)
    This is the fully uncut version of the film! The Anchor Bay dvd has a few slight cuts to some of the death scenes. The picture and sound on this version are that of an old vhs but still watchable. If you have the box set get this one too just so you can see what has been cut from the Anchor Bay version. You cant beat a dvd for $5!
