Camp psycho counsellor Angela (Pam Springsteen, sister of Bruce) is back, slicing and dicing teens and camp counsellors at summer camp. Only this time she is a camper, not a counsellor (she calls herself Maria and claims to be 17 but drugs have made her look much older!). Like part 2 Teenage Wasteland does not hang about when it comes to boobs and gore, it's 76 minute run time is peppered with both throughout. Sadly the MPAA insisted on several minutes of cuts for a R rating and this is the version that I have (uncut in German apparently). Most of the kills have been cut which is a real shame and is the reason why I am scoring this 6 instead of a 7, which is what I would have had it been uncut. My DVD does have the cut scenes as an extra, pity they were not incorporated into the full feature. The comedy aspect is very funny, more so then part 2 in my opinion, here are a couple of examples of the dialogue - Counsellor "How many have you killed this time?", Angela "Lots!"; Angela to a topless female victim "Good thing you're dead cos in a couple of years your breasts would've been sagging something terrible!" And so on. The camp is run by an eccentric couple and the kids are made up of two groups, half from a well to do background, the others from deprived areas. Most of these characters are engaging, "Party all night, teenage wasteland!" declares one. I really did enjoy this movie but at the same time felt somewhat cheated by the cuts inflicted upon it. Good fun none the less! AKA Nightmare Vacation 3.
