Spoiler Alert!!! This sequel actually isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It still has the same early 90's feeling as it did in the second one. It has almost no likable characters at all except for Barney. Here though it's more of a minority type of cast. I noticed this film has some racism to show how in the city it really can be like this. It also refers to the kids of the cities as brats, so there should be no surprise you hate all of the characters, unlike the 2nd movie where they are all the Christian kids that do what teenagers typically do. Some act stuck up, most are nice, some just want to get laid, and some try to act mysterious. Anyway this movie is some pretty decent looking gore I must say like when Angela decapitates the Asian girl with the axe. I saw the extended version of Angela kicking her head afterwards and it looked awesome! I liked this sequel but I thought the ending was kind of weak. I gave it a 6 out of 10.

*Sigh* The SLEEPAWAY CAMP series might very well be the worst in the slasher genre. The first one set the standard by having a (spoiler alert) little boy dressed as a girl who kills people... including other kids. The camp counselors were all sex offenders of one degree or another. And the ending was shocking beyond all belief, but not in a good way. It left one feeling grossed out and in need of a shower. PART 2 featured a wise cracking Pamela Springsteen dispatching 18 or so teens. Ho-hum. But of the original three, it was closest to being the best. PART 3: TEENAGE WASTELAND. The camp from the original has changed names twice now, but Angela keeps coming back to kill... and maim... and kill again. This time, they didn't even bother with a plot. Angela just goes around and kills again... and again... and AGAIN... AND AGAIN!!! It's mind-boggling when even the deaths feel like run-of-the-mill. Halfway through, you're guaranteed to lose interest... and possibly brain cells, consciousness, and any semblance of dignity. Do I make myself clear? STAY. CLEAR. OF. SLEEPAWAY. CAMP!!!

This third installment of the Sleepaway Camp series attempts to amp up the humor, nudity, and body count to make up for its lack of fresh ideas, but, oddly, the component most slasher movie fans will be eagerly expecting is dialed way down.By far the least splattery chapter of the franchise, Teenage Wasteland provides the teenagers and the wasteland, but doesn't deliver the gore goods nearly often enough, and despite a few novel methods of dispatch, most of the anticipated carnage occurs off-screen. That approach would work fine if this wasn't a sequel to a charmingly seedy snuff film about a series of brutal murders committed by a pubescent female psychopath with a penis. But, since the film-makers should have been keenly aware that the main reason genre devotees are even showing up for round three is to see what gruesome tidings are in store this time out, the dearth of high-impact gross-out gags seriously hinders the film."Tame" is probably the wrong word to describe a movie that features characters being crushed in the compactor of a trash truck, snorting cleaning products that have been passed off as cocaine, getting their heads run over by lawn mowers, having firecrackers explode inside their nostrils, and getting their arms torn off at the roots. However, stripped of the genre's version of a money shot, most of these sequences ultimately fall flat, and what we're left with is a shining example of impressively crappy cinema that's nowhere near as fun to watch as it should be.The film follows the continuing saga of Angela, who starts our journey off by killing an inner city teenager and stealing her identity so she can attend the rejuvenated Camp Rolling Hills in the dead girl's place. Once she's back in her element, our feisty murderess gets right down to business and racks up a roster of victims that handily matches if not exceeds the overachieving final tally of Sleepaway Camp II. Her adversaries for this installment include lecherous and lazy camp counselors, the police officer father of one of the previous film's casualties, and of course the usual bevy of pricelessly one-dimensional teenage archetypes.Despite the relatively restrained level of bloodshed, there's enough naked flesh on display to rival the amount showcased in the franchise up to this point, and the same brand of sophomoric humor prevalent in the first two Camps is peppered in throughout, so the sleazy tone is at least consistent with the rest of the series. Unfortunately, none of the jokes are particularly funny and some of Angela's one-liners are real groaners, so this aspect of the movie is ultimately pretty lame in comparison to its occasionally witty predecessors (unless of course you like the idea of Angela recording an a cappella rap song to inform a stereotypical urban youth that she's about to kill him).In fact, the most amusing moment in this film isn't even from the script; it's the visible displeasure displayed by the buxom lass called upon for a sex scene with Michael J. Pollard, who's easily thirty years her senior here and looks every bit like it. Though the dubbed-in sound effects suggest that she's in the throes of ecstasy, the poor actress actually appears to be repulsed by Pollard's kisses, and movements that are supposed to be writhing come-hither gestures look more like desperate attempts to have as little physical contact with the aged actor as possible.I'm not honestly trying to take this film more seriously than it warrants, and you can feel free to read my review of Unhappy Campers if you have any doubts about my sincere love for endearingly awful movies like this. But while Teenage Wasteland is assuredly cut from the same cloth as part II (judging by the recycled wardrobe, props, and sets all over the place, I'm guessing they were shot at the exact same time) this third act simply isn't quite as satisfying as the rest of the series that spawned it.Still, if you enjoyed your last visit to Camp Rolling Hills, you'll probably deem this trip a worthy enough use of 80 minutes too. It's just disappointing that the film-makers apparently used up all their stage blood before they got around to finishing the trilogy.

I found this a bit more fun then second movie, as it way to funny for it own good and jokes were really good in this movie, I kept laughing at some parts of the Dark humour.Both sequels to sleepaway camp have some good part in movies, they don't have the same feel anything like first .I found the death scene build up were really good but had some tension i hated the fact there was not one death scene was on screen, which was huge letdown as they could of be done really well.The acting this movie from everyone in cast was cheesy as you can get and ending was nothing boring dull and predicable. 5 out of 10 for both sequels
