Review of The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) by Peter H — 02 Feb 2011
THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE [1982]: It's your typical run-of-the-mill post HALLOWEEN slasher film with lots of gore and a fair bit of nudity. But what makes this slasher film odd shall we say is the fact it's a slasher parody written by a Feminist writer! The plot involves a simple group of teenage girls who have a slumber party and do not invite the new girl (who is this films hero).
The main problem with this party is the fact a mad driller Killer is staking the girls with his long (phallic) drill. This is a neat slasher film which takes swipes at other slasher films like HALLOWEEN [1978], THE DRILLER KILLER [1979], FRIDAY THE 13TH [1980] and even a minor swipe at Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO [1960].
My rating a simple 60% for a cheesy 1980's slasher parody.
