Slashlorette Party

Not a bad movie considering the budget. You can tell it's low budget but it's an entertaining one for the most part. I watched it all the way through. Acting is hit or miss but not really distracting.

Re-creating that 80's slasher vibe is mostly well done. The acting isn't as bad as it could be. As a modern film, its not that great. If you like 80's slasher flicks then this might be worth it if you have time to kill. Otherwise probably best save your time for something a little less rubbish.

But certainly not the best. Brie is having second thought about marrying her horrible fiancé, Dolph; her therapist (Ginger Lynn!) helps her work through things. Brie, Dolph, and their friends head to a cabin at Lake Tahoe for a coed bachelor/bachelorette party - and things quickly go downhill for the attendees.

Slashlorette Party does have a few things going for it. Scantily clad women and naked strippers are at the party, so there's plenty of T&A for the fellas. Female viewers don't have as much eye candy, but the replacement male stripper amused me. There's also a decent amount of blood on display, and one of the naked strippers falls victim to a somewhat inventive twist on a typical machete kill. It's also only 79 minutes long, and I really appreciate the brevity.

Of course, there are many weaknesses too. The acting is weak and the story isn't great at all. Dolph is absolutely horrible, but no characters are all that likeable, so it's a tough sell to care about them. Some of the gore effects look a little cheesy, but at least there were on-camera kills instead of cutaways.

Is Slashlorette Party a good movie? No.

Are its limited strengths enough to recommend it? Not really.

Is it an adequate time killer if you're in the mood for a slasher flick and not in the mood to care about quality? Sure.

A bride-to-be who's having serious doubts about getting married to her rude fiance goes for a weekend party in the woods with her fiance and their friends and two psychotic men stalk and kill them one by one.

The quality of acting in this ranges from surprisingly solid to painfully awful, but the script has a sense of humor about everything and at least attempts to tell an actual story instead of a by-the-numbers body count flick. Adult film star, Ginger Lynn Allen, gets a great chance to show off some pretty entertaining acting chops at the lead character's psychiatrist. It's not the most memorable slasher film you'll see, but far from a complete waste of time either.

The first half of this movie required a little help from the accelerator button however once it got past the half way point and the killing started a lot of the weak character development didn't matter. The low score comes mostly from its very amateur over acting and annoying soundtrack which was over used and killed any chance of the movie developing any ambience. The story was complete junk not that it mattered, the ending was too unexplained anyhow.
