Slumber Party Massacre

I do not understand why nowadays slashers are so bad. It should be easier to create something new,risky and interesting from time to time.

First, this abomination tries hard to change the rules of old great slashers like the original one. Here we have a bunch of men that act like women in the 80's. Why? Also, several women that acted like men in the 80's , including a feminist agenda here. Terrible.

Second, the storyline and the script here are just miserable. A shame and embarrassing. Even for a B-slasher you need a convincing excuse to kill. Here everything looked damb.

So, overall one of the worst slashers I've ever watched. And I watched more than 500 hundred.

Slumber Party Massacre has this interesting idea; "reimagining" the original while trying to subvert the genre's clichés. Well, it fails. At least not too miserably, since its confusion at being either satire or parody will give you a good laugh or two.

It's sleazy not because it has TV-Movie quality written all over it, but because its idea was done half-baked. While not as smart as it thinks it is, nevertheless is a much better film than the latest Black Christmas.

..that tries a little to hard to with wink wink nudge nudge. A little more subtlety woud have helped. Overall I enjoyed this one and had a little giggle here and there. If you know your horror tropes and like them to be a little bit twisted around here and there while, you as the viewer, aswell as the film makers, are aware of the fact that it's done for fun, give this one a go. Just don't expect a serious Horror flick, this isn't one.

This is definitely more of a reboot than a remake. It has a good setup and includes myriad homages to the original and even its wacky sequel.

The intent of the OG to satire the slasher and bring out strong female characters was somewhat subverted by producer Roger Corman (while still creating a very progressive slasher for its time). Well, this one goes for that concept full bore and I feel it achieves the goal.

There are a number of very funny scenes, including one with the guys next door having a half naked pillow fight & the girls stepping in to protect them. There's also a hilarious shower scene that just has to be seen to be believed. Sometimes things are a little too "on the nose" but it's still very fun. Oh, and the kills are pretty good too.

This reboot was a ton of fun.

It's 1993. Four girls are having a slumber party in a cabin. Chad is Trish's jealous ex. All of them are attacked by the drill-welding killer, Russ Thorne. Trish is the sole survivor. It's present day. Dana leaves her overprotective mother and joins her friends on a girls weekend. Their car breaks down and they end up back to where the attack originally occurred.

It starts as a standard exploitation horror with a bit of comedy but it gets annoying as the standard becomes predictable. Then comes the shocking twist. It turns the whole movie upside down. I love the idea but not always the execution. It's jumping over the fine line to make fun of the original movies. Maybe a bit of subtlety would be more compelling. For example, Guy 1 and Guy 2 could simply be Chad 1 and Chad 2. It's possible to have two Chads in the same friends group. By doing the two Guys, the movie stops existing in the real world. This world isn't that real to begin with. Finally, there is the last act. The girls are being too girlie. There is something obvious. It keeps going on and on. It's better to cut it short. All in all, this is more imaginative and better made than the original.
