Now this is interesting! A remake – and new franchise – of Sleepaway Camp might be around the corner! It’s also encouraging that Jeff Katz (the former New Line exec who helped bring Freddy Vs. Jason into focus) is involved, that guy seems to be passionate about horror and doing things the right way. Per Deadline he’s “optioned remake rights from the original movie’s trio of makers and rights holders: Writer/director-turned-lawyer Robert Hiltzik, producer Michele Tatosian, and actress Felissa Rose, who starred in the 1983 pic as Angela, the bullied teen protagonist whose summer turns into a bloodbath when a killer begins offing campers.” Hiltzik, Tatosian and Rose will produce alongside Katz, who apparently “aims to reboot the Sleepaway Camp mythos in a modern setting with a new film series that echoes its legacy and the psychosexual elements that made the first pic such a memorable cult favorite.” That last sentence is the most encouraging of all! Let’s hope they can find a studio (or independent financier) that will let them keep it that way! More as this develops. http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3262521/a-potential-sleepaway-camp-remake-is-waiting-to-reveal-itself/ |

Interesting ideas. I don't know about the human skin suit idea but interesting never the less. |

I like the skin idea, actually. That could be the shocking end reveal, it would be better than just copying the original atleast. |

It might also be the best idea, since in these modern times the film would probably be under fire for depicting a transexual as a psychotic serial killer. People bitched like crazy over THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Unless this remake is actually going to be direct-to-video. For some reason I don't picture this getting a world wide theatrical release.

Chances are it'll just be limited release. I'm not too fond of the skin idea. Keeps making me think of Angela's Leatherface homage in Sleepaway Camp II...and not in a good way. I'd prefer a different kind of ending. And who gives a damn about controversy?

It's all about leaving the audience disturbed. The was the whole point of the ending in the original film. Edited by Toyland Chairman, Mar 2 2014, 08:29 PM.

Well the human skin suit/skin mask thing has been done many, many times already and is no longer disturbing for most horror fans. House Of 1000 Corpses, The Devils Rejects, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (entire series), Silence Of The Lambs, and many others, I'm sure, have done it already. I don't HATE the idea, but it just doesn't feel all that right for Sleepaway Camp and could fail on so many levels unless they're super clever with it. |

If the skin suit looks too good it will fail. Plus what else could they do that isn't just the same thing as before? |

I really don't know. I don't want a skin suit that is too tight and perfectly made (unrealistic) but making it sloppy and falling apart (realistic) would make it obvious that its...someone (probably Angela) wearing a skinsuit, so itd be VERY hard for them to make that work.

The killer should be kept in the dark like in the original. Only reveal the loose, rotting skin suit at the very end. Sometimes less is more. Or Angela can not be the killer at all. Make it someone else, or not include Angela, and make this an entirely different film with new characters. It's possible this remake could come out more like a sequel. Like my copycat killer idea, and Angela doesn't appear until the end. Maybe the killer of this film is sent to a mental asylum, and Angela is there? And she escapes, setting up the sequel. This is also an option. But I'm sure fans will want Angela as the killer, though. Edited by Toyland Chairman, Mar 2 2014, 09:34 PM.

Chances are you're right, sadly. I'll try as hard as I can to see it in theaters though.

Same. But DTV is most likely. |

I suspect a direct-to-video release as well. I don't think this series has enough theatrical appeal. If this is about cashing in on franchises, I don't know why some remakes are made if they're just gonna be direct-to-video. APRIL FOOL'S DAY, IT'S ALIVE. They might-as-well make direct-to-video sequels. The CHILDREN OF THE CORN remake didn't have any sequels. |

I think DTV. Only way I could see it getting a wide release is if like a big studio like Lionsgate was behind it. I doubt this will even be good. I don't trust Robert Hilzick after Return so him being involved doesn't make me happy. |

I really don't how to feel about this... I agree that Return was pretty bad (the worst of the series, although I literally just found out Survivor exists from this thread lol so it doesn't count... bad fan!) but I am excited for a new generation to possibly discover this franchise... And of course I always hope for the best with remakes. Personally, I feel like they have to change the twist even though a lot of people probably won't have seen the original. I first watched Sleepaway Camp when I was twenty. I'd been watching horror movies my whole life and can count on one hand how many had truly shocked me at that point... but that movie definitely shocked me and creeped me out a lot. So I hope they have another twist that can maybe shock us at least a little! Also, I'm one fan who would love the copycat killer idea... Make it more like an Evil Dead thing (which I loved), with new characters and ideas that could possibly be very loosely interpreted as a sequel instead of a remake. And of course... I really hope that Felissa would have a cameo! (I really like the idea of the killer ending up in the same mental hospital with her at the end.) Overall though, it'll be interesting to see if anything comes of this and if it's any good... I can only hope! |
