A Major Disappointment

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Although boring, poorly made, poor story, a Slumber Party Massacre ripoff, poor acting (the mother is slightly tolerable in acting), and terrible picture quality, this movie ISN'T the worst slasher. Go look up Houseboat Horror.LOL/WTF moments (spoilers): I was laughing at the fact Tyler the killer gets startled by Science knocking off the blonde jock and pops up from behind the bed, as if to say "Hey that's my job". Linda seems to "disappear"- from sleeping right in front of the killer hunched over her - then reappears..later.. dying at the kitchen door in front of Chris (although the look in Linda's eyes is epic). Also the way Tyler "dies" is rather..stupid. Chris stabs him with a knife, which gets blood on it, but the scalpel instead is poking from Tyler's chest. Then Chris just..falls over and that's the end of the nightmare and (spoilers)I don't think the movie is quite as boring as their "Slumber Party"..the mother tells them to go to bed rather early on. Twice the zombie-like Tracy says she is going to munch out, and eats nothing but half an apple. Their only entertainment (besides the two guys) is intermittently watching a movie on a little portable TV.Russ Thorn has nothing to worry bout here.

*Spoilers* *Spoilers*This was one of those flicks that I had been advised to avoid, but as per usual, I let my love for the genre get the better of me and completely ignored everyone's friendly guidance! I found out about it from the IMDB and immediately set about getting hold of a copy. I must admit, that the few people I'd spoke to who had seen it many years ago remembered it as being a ‘complete waste of celluloid'! But those warnings sincerely made me want to see it all the more, and after ordering it from AMAZON under standard shipping costs, I had a six-week delay for it to arrive at my door. Whilst I was waiting for the postman to bring me my padded jiffy bag, it seemed that the more days that went past, the further my curiosities about the flick strengthened. By the time it arrived I was just off to work and all day long I was looking forward to getting home and finding out if it was really worth waiting for…At first we meet a group of jesting teens that are celebrating in high spirits on their last day of school. Tracy (Nancy Meyer), Chris (Jan Jensen), Tommy (Danny David), Scott (Paul Amend) and Billy (Lance Descourez) all plan a slumber party at Linda (Joann Whitley) 's house, where they can spend the night drinking, taking drugs and doing the usual cheesy antics that eighties teens in slasher movies love to do! Meanwhile, whilst they all merrily head off home to prepare for their fateful gathering, elsewhere in the town it seems a lunatic patient from the local asylum has escaped sporting a surgical mask and apron and clutching a very sharp scalpel! He gets the address of his psychiatrist's home and heads over there to carry out the threat that we learn he gave him days before. - He warned the doctor that he would find him and kill him! Then we find out that the medic is Linda's father, so the vicious butcher has conveniently found himself a house full of would be victims to slash! As the beer flows at the party, the unwelcome guest arrives and before long the blood begins to flow too…Well, what can I say? Ok, ok so I should've listened, but I don't want to hear anyone saying ‘I told you so'! THE LAST SLUMBER PARTY is a bad movie. As soon as I heard the ear numbing heavy metal track that burst out of my TV's speakers in the first five minutes, accompanied by heavy breathed POV shots in the muggiest of bad quality cinematography, I realised that I had made a big mistake by not trusting my friend's opinions! Every single cliché in the book is present and accounted for but they're added with the most minimal effort imaginable. The only thing worse than the atrocious acting and the horrid ‘bontempi' soundtrack that doesn't even sound in tune, is the incredibly inept plot that almost defies humanly description. It looks as if the editor pasted scenes in any old order without knowing how the story played. The thing just doesn't seem to make any sense at all. We don't see all of the murders; characters just suddenly turn up dead all of a sudden. In one scene another killer appears inside the house and we never find out who he is or why he's there. I don't even know if he was just a kid pulling a prank, there's just no apparent explanation. I think that the choice for the ending was Steven Tyler's desperate attempt to escape the massive plot inconsistencies that he knew he couldn't cover up. Things just plod along in no recognisable order letting the obnoxious and tedious characters warble their way through the mess of a script. I know it's routine for a slasher victim to be dumb, but these folks are unbelievable. When the unlikely leading girl finally realises something's not quite right in the house, she sets off to investigate and find out where everyone's disappeared too. She takes a brief look around outside the house, but absurdly it seems every one has vanished. As she turn to re-enter one of her friends staggers through the door and drops to the ground in front of her – dead. Faced with the obvious fact that there's some sort of psychopath at work in the home, what does she do? Run to a neighbour's house to raise the alarm or maybe call the cops? No, of course not, instead she decides to walk back in and around the ‘death trap' finding a few more bodies on the way, before unwisely grabbing a knife and setting off to find the killer! Confused? I certainly was! Each victim is murdered in exactly the same way as the last, grabbed around the neck and their throats slashed with a scalpel. The Michael Myers-lite assassin – who shows us the extent of his insanity by keeping his eyes wide open and holding the aforementioned weapon up to the camera menacingly (!) – offers us nothing exciting or new to recommend. On the plus side there are loads of unintentional laughs on offer, like when the first two victims get killed. A nurse heads outside the hospital to a bus stop where she waits to head home. There's another guy sitting there who's fast asleep on the bench (?). Before she gets a chance to wake him up, she's grabbed by the shoulder and…guess what, her throat is slashed by the psycho with a scalpel. The lazy bystander manages to snore his way through her hysterical screams for help as she's murdered, but amazingly wakes up just after she's been dispatched. Of course this leaves him defenceless, unaware and wide open to get, you've guessed it, his throat slashed too…. Oh, How I cried! There's no effective gore on offer here, instead we get some fake looking red corn syrup pouring out of some unconvincing wounds. There's plenty of it though, right up until the laugh out loud ending that is certainly unexpected. Perhaps the most amusing thing is the way it's described on the back cover:"The plot is twisted inside out leaving you stunned and clinging to your chair as you witness shock after horrifying shock. The ending will leave you breathless."I certainly agree; it was indeed hard to catch my breath after I had been giggling consistently for 80 minutes!As you've probably guessed THE LAST SLUMBER PARTY is really bottom of the barrel stuff. It's cheap, inept, badly shot, jerkily edited, awfully scripted and has all the tension of paint drying. It's not even able to redeem itself by being bad in an always-endearing NAIL GUN MASSACRE kind of way. The most amazing thing about this movie is the fact that it ever got released at all. I think it's great that someone with a few dollars to waste can make an independent movie and get it distributed around the world. But to make a small film like this a success, you need a little bit of, what's that word? Ah yes, TALENT. Sadly it seems none of these guys remembered that either

I remember seeing this when I was like 11. I thought it was good then. But I got older and starting watching more b-movies and it turns out this one is pretty crappy. But it had a likability factor to it though. I think it's the cheesy dialogue and the really crappy 80's music. I was really disappointed that there was hardly any gore! To all you SPM fans out there. THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL TO THE SPM SERIES!!! Stay far away!!

I seen this at a local video store. I am a big fan of slasher movies so I was wondering what this was. I watched it and the movie says it all why you never heard of it. EXTREMELY AWFUL!!!!! and that's and underrated statement. The death scenes were horribal and so unoriginal. The characters sucked even more. They must have been on drugs when they made this low budget cheap heap of crap. If I was them, I wouldn't show my face for at least 20 years. Nuff said 2/10
