Review of Slumber Party Massacre (2021) by Boy_Number_8 — 30 Oct 2021

The power drill killer is actually well played and creepy so props to that actor.

The reimaging of the 1982 film had some good ideas. Switching the gender roles and having the male characters portraying how women are usually shown in horror films could have have been smart and made more of an impact but it was only used during one pillow fight and shower scene. Then its forgotten. This film also suffers from "quirky teen syndrome" with characters lines trying to be hard tomake the actors sound "edgy and cool" which becomes annoying very quickly as no one in real life ever talks like this. It was also disappointing to see smart characters randomly become dumbed down just to add numbers to the kill count.

The first half was promising but unfortunately it fizzled out and the corniness took over.
