This campy horror sequel to the original 1983 feature is laced with doses of dark humor and blood-spattering special effects. Camp Rolling Hills is losing enrollment as the "bad teens" are being murdered in various gruesome manners. Angela Baker (Pamela Springsteen) is the moralistic camp counselor who tells people the campers have been "sent home." The victims are beaten, slashed choked, and one is even drowned in an outhouse as others die in creative and grisly ways. Renee Estevez stars as Molly, the heroine of the film who somehow manages to avoid being killed. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

The last film to be co-directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, Ruthless People stars Bette Midler (capitalizing on her comeback performance in Down and Out in Beverly Hills) as Barbara, a spoiled rich woman who is kidnapped by the kindly Ken and Sandy Kessler (Judge Reinhold and Helen Slater). Barbara's forceful husband Sam (Danny DeVito) has ripped off the Kesslers and they decide to hold Barbara for ransom. Sam, who hates his wife, refuses to pay. Eventually Barbara befriends the Kesslers and together they figure out how to exact revenge upon the obnoxious Sam. Bill Pullman makes his film debut here as a very dim, would-be criminal. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Who's innocent in Betrayed by Innocence? Is it filmmaker Nick DeLeon (Barry Bostwick), who loves his wife but also his work? Is it Nick's working wife Sharon (Lee Purcell), who spends more time at the office than at home? Or is it nubile, underage coed Marisa Vogel (Cristen Kauffman), who has an affair with Nick? Paul Sorvino co-stars as Marisa's policeman father, whose rallying cry is "statutory rape." Made for television, Betrayed by Innocence originally aired March 1, 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
