Slaughterhouse Slumber Party

I stumbled across this film while trying to find the film Slaughterhouse (1987) and it really caught me off guard.

There is a surprising amount of humor in this film and tongue-in-cheek in ita entirety. The 4th wall breaks are hillarious.

While it isn't a classic, I feel with the budget given they did a good job. A lot of the downplayed aspects in these films are intentional, so keep that in mind.

The theme song is absolutely awesome. Its as if I don't know if i'm supposed to take it seriously, which only adds to its contribution to the film. I enjoyed it, catchy as hell.

All in all some truly funny scenes with some obligatory toilet humor as well as some dark humor. Seeing as I was looking for a slasher flick an came across a film that despite all the T&A, still caught my attention.

I have to applaud it for being better than i could have ever anticipated. I like it when i am pleasently surprised. But if you're the type who is overly critical and only lives to put things and people down..Don't watch this and talk bs after.

Let those of us who want to enjoy something, enjoy it.

Entertainment Value 6.5/10 Overall Rating 6/10

Its not a big-budget flick. Rather a *very* self-aware film that stands up to its nature.

This film is relatively a lower budget independent film where it doesn't have boundaries. Described as a horror film, the horror aspect really which comes into play about half way into the film featuring special effects with green ghosts and a bizarre demon type creature coming back from the dead.

The plot is straightforward. Featuring an all women cast who get together to have a slumber party then one character gets spiritual and demon possessed and becomes the villain (we notice from the beginning that girl would somehow turn).

Featuring a lot of skin, essentially all the actresses do undress (which is purposely a distraction for the audience to swaying them into liking the film more, considering it isn't exactly good).

Overall the film isn't meant to be serious and the characters are self aware of the type of film this was meant to be.

Filmed in a documentary style way, where the characters speak to the camera (fourth wall breaking?) several times. Did not find anything particularly funny. Although the theme song used in the beginning intro and outro is relatively catchy and the type of simple song to get stuck in someone's head.

The dialogue is bland and most the characters aren't memorable and are simply just there. Haley Madison (Courtney) and Alyss Winkler (Stoya) are the clear standouts. The end finale was quite nicely done.

Predictable, cheesy acting, low special effects but there is a certain enough charm to watch for what it's intended in being. Certainly for a specific audience.

Dustin Mills provides us here with his newest title, everything an independent horror fan would want. The top mid-western girls of independent cinema are featured in this film and you get to see every inch of them all. The CGI effects are fun and different from the normal practical gore effects we are used to see in these films. The story-line is fun, as it pokes at 80's genre films and the Ohio independent horror circuit. It never takes itself too seriously and provides a surprisingly large amount of entertainment, which these days after all the trash coming out of mainstream theaters, it's good to just get entertained sometimes. If this is Dustin's best work to date, I cannot wait to see him outdo himself on the next one.

I rented this movie thinking "Oh, fun, so bad it's good!" and was prepared to bail after the pre-title sequence. I'm glad I stuck with it, though, because this movie is a ton of fun. It's gleefully smutty, of course, but it delivers on all its promises. It feels like a bunch of Asbury Park NJ roller-derby girls got together and decided to make a horror movie--and I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Horror comedies always walk a fine line: one step too far and they become too self-aware or outright unfunny and dull. Here, the actors look like they're having such a blast, and they deliver their lines with such gusto, that it's hard not to belly-laugh. Some of the running gags are great: I especially liked Stoya, the stern-faced Russian girl who is always subtitled despite speaking clear English.

Yes, the movie does become blatantly self-aware at one point and maybe goes a bit too far in justifying its own existence, but as a fan of bad movies, I can appreciate its earnestness.

Not even 30 seconds into the movie, and I already knew what I was in for here. I mean, CGI scenes that looked like they were taken out of "World of Warcraft" and pointless nudity, that pretty much set the standard for the entire movie henceforth. Yet, I still opted to give this 2019 horror comedy from writer and director Dustin Mills a chance.

Needless to say that I had, of course, never heard about "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party" prior to sitting down to watch it. But I have to say that I was initially intrigued and lured in by the movie's cover. But of course I had no idea what I was in for.

The storyline in "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party" was pretty straightforward, but cashing in on essentially every classic horror trope, and borrowing heavily from the "Evil Dead" movies. If you sort of think "Evil Dead", but with an excessive amount of pointless nudity and none of the comedy that "Evil Dead" had, then you essentially have "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party".

The acting performances in "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party" were fairly okay, taking the script and the premise of the movie into consideration. Suffice it to say that the ladies in the movie were cast not for their extraordinary and outstanding acting talents, but for their willingness to do full frontal nudity on the screen.

The dialogue in the movie was not particularly great either. Obviously you're not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here. However, there were an abundance of references to and from the "Evil Dead" and "Army of Darkness" movies and well as from "Poltergeist", which actually helped to make it bearable to sit through the ordeal that is "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party".

While I am not a prude, I have to say that I don't find excessive nudity, much less pointless nudity, in movies as being properly entertaining. And "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party" had a lot of nudity in it, and it was hard to sit through the movie and take it seriously, as I had to look hard for things in the storyline to cling onto. Nudity doesn't constitute entertainment, unless you're an immature pre-teenager, I suppose.

Some of the effects in the movie are actually fairly okay, and do help to make it bearable to sit through the movie. And then some of the effects were just insanely horrible to look at. And isn't it amazing how someone can die from being struck by a soft pillow? Yeah, that just makes so much sense.

I love how the movie doesn't take itself seriously, especially with one of the girls commenting upon unnecessary nudity in movies catering to 12 year old boys and idiots. Yeah, pretty much exactly what "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party" was. But it is sort of amazing how movies such as this actually get to see the light of day.

"Slaughterhouse Slumber Party" from writer and director Dustin Mills was definitely not a great or outstanding movie in any way. But I am sure that there is an immature audience out there ready to gobble this movie right up. If they had opted to gone for a movie without the excessive amount of nudity, then "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party" would have been a much more enjoyable movie and bearable movie to sit through.

If I have to find something positive about "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party", then it was the obvious nods and homages to "The Evil Dead" movies and "Army of Darkness". There definitely was a love for the Sam Raimi movies and Ash Williams character (played by Bruce Campbell) from writer and director Dustin Mills.

My rating of "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party" lands on a very generous four out of ten stars. Semi-watchable, if you can get past the pointless nudity, but hardly a movie that will ever grace my screen a second time.
