Slumber Party Massacre is a fun popcorn flick with a premise that is straightforward, simple and very entertaining. A murderous maniac escapes from a mental institution and from his crazy eyes we can tell that all he wants to do is kill kill kill! He soon spies high school basketball player Trish and her sexy teammates. Trish is having a slumber party later that night while her parents are out of town. She invites over all the girls on the team, except for newbie Valerie (who happens to live next door to Trish). Perfect! Now Mr. Killer man needs to just go to one place to get his kill on...
The party starts and the girls begin smoking weed, chugging a few beers and losing some clothes. The girls get scared by their boyfriends playing a trick on them and the creepy guy next door. Meanwhile, Val is home alone with her boy crazy, 13-year old little sister, staring wistfully over at Trish's house. After the pizza delivery boy drops dead on Trish's doorstep, the girls know something isn't right...
From here on out it's all about the killer running after the girls with a large power drill while the girls scream and try to hide. Valerie and her little sister get involved after they hear some funny noises next door, as does the girls' coach who gets a call from Trish and her gal pals before the phone line goes dead.
This movie is not to be taken seriously...it's got a high body count, some gory death scenes, some funny dialogue and more silly jump scares than you can shake a stick at!! It also features plenty of boobs for those interested out there...
An interesting aspect of this movie is that it was both penned and directed by women. They provide few feminist views in this film, though, as most of the female cast bares their breasts, but it is interesting that the killer's weapon of choice is a drill, which is subsequently "castrated" at the end of the film. It would have been a lot more interesting (for me anyway) had they used a more feminist slant, but all-in-all this is just a fun slasher flick.
