Is the studio who owns the rights to the release being a twat? 88 films released the others why can't they get the rights or is there limited edition that will come out in 3 years time for the 40th anniversary of the film??

All three DVDs came out on Anchor Bay in the UK so if 88 could only get 2 and 3 perhaps someone else has the rights for a UK release or the company who owns the rights wanted too much money for it?

It Could Have Been a Great ’80s Slasher, But Its Final Scene Made It Horrifically Bad / Collider

"When people think of what the best summer camp slasher is, they typically think of the Friday the 13th series, but all the real ones know that Sleepaway Camp is one of the subgenre's most notorious entries... for good and for bad. This grimy yet unintentionally hilarious 1983 slasher is full of bad acting, nasty kills, and loads of killing time between gruesome deaths. Sounds like a typical slasher, right? Well, Sleepaway Camp differentiates itself in that it is a bizarrely made film. Camp Arawak, the film's setting, is full of the most hateful, sleaziest campers and staff. Everyone is such a despicable monster in this movie that you won't be able to help but laugh in disbelief. The film largely plays out by the books for slasher standards, but in reality, builds toward a finale that you'll never be able to predict... one that, sadly, aggressively pulls the rug out from under the fun that you've had up until that point..."

I think this is possibly the first time I have ever seen someone criticizing the ending of this film. Most people seem to agree that it is a classic!
