6/10
Average, but fun little slasher
12 May 2022
Campy and fun, but cliched of course- The Slumber Party Massacre is a fun flick for all slasher fans- but is definitely not enough for those seeking quality. I was surprised to say I enjoyed watching most of this one. Yes the film is riddled with cliches, there are more fake jump scares than I thought was ever possible, and the films antagonist definitely needed some work. Its acting isn't anything great, which was probably obvious to most, and its soundtrack consists of the same song played over and over again at random menacing times throughout the film. So why did I enjoy this one you may ask, I don't really know. Maybe it was the nostalgic atmosphere and incredibly 80's visuals, or its ability to somehow carry a story along with so few people and such a small budget. Maybe it was just the fact that despite its flaws, it was entertaining and fun to watch, and did have some cool little kill scenes. The cinematography is also quite interesting a very campy but surreal kinda vibe that adds to the overall charm of the film. In the end, The Slumber Party Massacre hardly compares to other slasher classics- but it does prove to be a fun and campy watch that I certainly didn't mind nor regret.

My Rating: 5.6/10.
