Angela Baker escapes from a mental hospital and surfaces at a summer camp as a counselor who lectures her teenage charges on proper moral behavior. Those teens who break her strict rules -- from the camp chatterbox or a sex-obsessed girl to the boys who are peeping Toms -- are murdered by the impostor in various gruesome ways. As more campers go missing, intrepid counselor Molly begins to piece together the truth.

***All-around improvement on the original perverse youth camp slasher*** About six years after the events of the first film, Angela (Pamela Springsteen) is now an adult camp counselor at Camp Rolling Hills after getting therapy and the operation (if you know what I mean). She carefreely weeds out all the bad kids and anyone else who might get in the way. The production values of “Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers” (1988) are all-around superior to the original 1983 slasher. Sure, both are “Friday the 13th” knock-offs, but they’re distinguished by (1.) actual adolescents inhabiting the camp and (2.) the perverse uniqueness of the killer. The only real campy element is Angela’s blithe chippy-ness in carrying out her slaughter spree. Other than that, this plays out like a mid-80’s coming-of-age drama with quality insights and surprisingly fleshed-out characters, which were the attributes of the first film as well. For instance, Molly (Renée Estevez) is very distinguished from Ally (Valerie Hartman) and Mare (Susan Marie Snyder). The mullets and short shorts on guys are amusing. An additional highlight is the kick-axx soundtrack of semi-obscure mid-80’s rock/metal, starting with Anvil
