Haha I thought this would be great but it turned out to be rubbish. Lots of people like it but it just annoyed the fuck out of me :D

You serious - it always gets bit praise from horror fans..QUOTE]

Yeah, you're right, but relatively speaking it's kind of a forgotten movie. I bet only horror fans ever bother to watch it and, given the inclination of the younger fans to steer clear of these classics, I'd say it's only cherished by guys like us.

I mean, the first in the trilogy will always be watched but, as there was no fan fair even on it's release, and given peoples preconception that sequals are almost always bad, it'll be avoided.

My message is this, watch this movie asap because you'll be very pleasantly surprised!:)

Great answers Every body here's another from me,Sleep away camp,I heard it had a surprise ending,so I watched it and I eventually started to like it and I still watch sleep away camp 2 and 3 to cheer myself up,I can agree that some movies don't get well deserved credit, like the original 3 movies of sleep away camp, I was angry when a return to sleep away camp was made with a new killer actor because as you all know some horror films turn out severely bad when an actor or story line is replaced entirely or repeated but changed slightly,I say respect the originals of any horror movie or show series!

I still haven't seen Sleepaway Camp I think I may have overlooked it will give it a chance

yeah the first one is a mystery the other 2 are just plain fun(only way I figured I could give no spoilers!) watching over looked horrormovies is my hobby like I'm sure you haven't watched the movie C.H.U.D. but I found it through boredom,also The stuff I found after a few supposedly bad movie sites,but puppet master still is the one that has had the biggest impact on me because the movie series is supposed to be bad but,it's addicting to watch for me, I even have it's goofy cousin movie the doll graveyard now it was pretty bad LOL!

Must be "El Orfanato (The Orphanage)". It was in spanish, it didn't look scary to me, the story seemed boring. But it actually turned out to be one of my fav movies of all time.

Thanks for avoiding spoilers-I just watched Sleepaway Camp and I was pleasantly surprised. The ending certainly is twisted enough to justify the hype and elevates it above the usual standard slasher fare-I don't think I will forget it-look forward to seeing the sequels. You're right I haven't seen CHUD but I've heard of it will check it out. Ah Puppetmaster love love that film-the introduction of CGI killed the series however in the later sequels.

Just thought of another one:

The Host: I was working at Blockbuster at the time and rented this on a whim and ended up loving it. Now its one of my favorite monster movies.
