everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A lot of fun.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The original script was written as a parody, but that was changed when production began and it was shot as a serious slasher. Perhaps this explains why I busted out laughing on at least four occasions. The amusing pizza-eating scene and the refrigerator sequence are good examples. Despite this, "The Slumber Party Massacre" (1981) IS a serious slasher flick featuring the 'driller killer' and it's pretty well-done. The problem is, there's an unimaginative bluntness to the proceedings and the final act isn't all that compelling (I found my mind wandering a couple of times).The female cast is decent, but not quite as good as in the Friday the 13th movies. Diane (Gina Smika Hunter, aka Gina Mari) is arguably the best, followed by the black chick. The movie is short & sweet at 77 minutes and was shot entirely in Los Angeles with the neighborhood sequences filmed in Venice. GRADE: C

I do like watching slasher movies, and oddly enough then I never gotten around to watching the "Slumber Party Massacre" trilogy. So I thought I would get acquainted with the movies, and thus I sat down to start watching the trilogy.I just only made it through the first movie in the series. And after what I witnessed here in this 1982 movie was enough to deter me from not wanting to sit down and watching the sequels.The storyline in "Slumber Party Massacre" seemed to be little more than just random events filmed without a proper red line connecting them, and then the editor was just given all this raw footage and given the task to make a movie out of it. And that was not a successful way of constructing a movie.The writer Rita Mae Brown did not manage to come up with a proper storyline, and that was quite clear throughout the course of these random events shot on film.As for the characters, well let's just say that they were generic, even as slasher movie characters go. Some of the things that these characters did just made absolutely no sense, especially if faced with the mortal danger of a deranged slasher on the prowl.And while we are on the topic of the slasher, then it was a very non-threatening killer that made his rounds in this movie. And even so, the slasher wasn't particularly memorable, especially in comparison to slashers such as Jason, Freddy, Myers, etc.I will say that some of the kills were adequate, although the effects were shoddy and questionable at best. But then again, some of the kills were just downright laughable.All in all, "Slumber Party Massacre" turned out to be a less than mediocre slasher movie, and one that I will not return to watch again, and nor will I attempt at watching parts 2 and 3.

I'm quite a dedicated slasher film fan, so this film may not seem the same to you. Although, i couldn't help but enjoy this film. There are some downs to this film though. The acting is somewhat cheesy and weak at times. There are no plot twists at all, which was slightly disappointing. The plot in general really is not overly complicated. What you read in the summary is exactly what you get. Character depth is somewhat shallow. But these cons really seem to fade away when the film comes together. It's a lot of fun if you enjoy slasher films. Silly teens get killed throughout, which is relieving, as there are one too many slashers out there with murder gaps. It's quite understandable that it has gained somewhat of a cult following. For any slasher fan, i would recommend. Although perhaps it is not for everyone.

it's as been long time since I seen this movie, I would say about 10 years or maybe less. I did enjoy the last time watch, it fun and very cheesy but after giving second watch, it didn't seem to have the same impact as first time I saw it.There were okay-ish deaths scenes, some very bloody moment in this movie, that I enjoyed but I didn't think it as fun as last time or I didn't really find that cheesy this time around The acting was really decent for this kind of movie. 5 out of 10
