Was the term "camp" derived from the explosion of cheesy slashers in the late 70's and early 80's? Once you've seen Friday the 13th, you've seen them all.
For my third choice, I picked Sleepaway Camp, which is chock full of 80's cheese. The clothes these dudes wear without shame leave me speechless. I'm talking about bare midriff halter tops. No way any guy can pull that off in this day and age. The cast skews younger than I expected, which somewhat alleviates the bad acting. I can believe in these stilted awkward adolescent exchanges since they're just kids. The adults don't have much of an excuse though, but that's on par for course. The story isn't too gripping, but it's serviceable. I enjoyed it, and for anyone remotely a fan of slasher flicks, it's definite worth the time.
I thought about my next choice and decided it should be foreign. I looked up Korean horror films and inadvertently stumbled on a movie I already watched called "No Mercy." The formula holds true for Korean horror as it does for American slashers--once you've seen one, you've seen them all. Here's the ending for every Korean horror: the main character dies or loses everything they love. That's it. It has reached the point where the bad ending is no longer fresh, but rather stale. Euro horror is actually pretty similar too.
The rest of my day was composed of answering a question on Tumblr, watching Ninja's stream of Destiny, watching various videos from Smoove, Gento, and QJB, and working out.
