     I've been horror overloaded the last few days with Vinegar Syndrome's newest releases along with a few other titles from Wild Eye and SRS Cinemas.  Don't get me wrong, I love my beloved genre but sometimes you really need to mix it up for fear of getting burned out.  Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.  Any way, when Vin Syn announced their April releases they included the sexploitation film Summer Camp Girls as part of their Peekarama label.  It looked like another fun release from them so I decided to toss it in after checking out a few no-budget indie horror flicks just to mix things up a bit.

     The film follows a summer camp where the women are sexually frustrated and will go to great lengths to score.  However, things get complicated when one of the young girls is abducted by one of the local goons right as her father arrives to see her sending everyone on a frenzy to find her.

     Summer Camp Girls is a rushed production with some moments and a lot of sleaze.  Sexploitation is something I've only recently got into over the last few years but this one is of the more entertaining ones.  The acting in this one is great.  The characters all reminded me of the type of characters you would find in the sleazy sex comedies from the early 80s.  They were funny when needed to be and sexy when the time arose.  With that being said, there was a few slow scenes with awkward dialogue and lazy acting.  The story for this one works for a sexploitation flick but it does rush at the end with no real closure.  I've watched countless movies that take place in the 80s with similar stories yet this one struggled to give us any real resolution.  Also, I would have loved to see more campy hijinks mixed in with the sexploitation.  Finally, the film has no blood or gore.  However, if you want to see beautiful women fully nude then this one is for you.  Overall, Summer Camp Girls is a fun and sleazy release from Vinegar Syndrome.  The video and audio looks great and the slipcover is perfect for collectors.  I highly recommend checking this one out.
