About

Synopsis

Sleepaway Camp (1983) is a cult slasher you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Robert Hiltzik. A lakeside summer camp, a pack of teenagers, and an ending that horror fans still argue about decades later.

Eight years after a boating accident kills her father and brother, withdrawn and near-silent Angela is sent to Camp Arawak with her cousin Ricky — back to the very lake where it happened. The other kids torment the quiet girl relentlessly while the adults look the other way. Then the bodies start piling up. Scalding water, a swarm of bees, a blade in the dark: each "accident" lands harder than the last, and the victims are always the ones who hurt Angela.

Felissa Rose was thirteen when she played Angela, and that frozen stare holds the whole film together. Shot on a shoestring around upstate New York, it became a video-store staple, and its final shot remains one of the most dissected freeze-frames in the genre. Built for fans of grimy 1980s slashers ready for a genuinely strange, vicious twist. Stream Sleepaway Camp (1983) online on iFILM.
