Watch The Slumber Party Massacre For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

So much average

Absolutely Fantastic

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I remember seeing this movie years ago and I've still been hooked on it, since my rediscovery. Full of erotic girls, a** and t*ts, blood and enjoyment. Thought it helped me pass the time. The sequels suck, but has their fan base. They should almost make a prequel to this movie regarding the news report in the prologue revealing that Thorn killed five people back in 1969.

While her parents are away for the weekend, Trish invites a few of her girlfriends over for the weekend. Their plans include beer, weed, and pizza. Plans are interrupted, however, by an escaped mental patient with a very large power drill that he enjoys plunging into his victims. Girls in pajamas (or less) and a deranged killer – sounds like a good mix.I never realized the screenplay for Slumber Party Massacre was written by novelist Rita Mae Brown. Over the years, I've enjoyed her Mrs Murphy mystery series. I've read that she originally intended the movie to be a parody of the slasher genre, but the producers went ahead and made it a more serious movie. There's still a lot of humor in the film that I find quite funny – the refrigerator door scene near the end being one example. Also, knowing that this was originally meant to be a parody, it helps explain a lot to me about the killer and the rest of the movie. On his own, Russ Thorn is not very frightening – just odd. Some of his facial expressions in the finale are priceless. I haven't read through all the comments on IMDb, so I'm sure this has been endlessly written about, but exactly what kind of power source was he using with that drill? There was no power cord and I've never seen a battery powered drill that can maintain that much power for that length of time. It must have been one of those nuclear drills so popular in the early 80s. The giant drill also makes for a very unwieldy, noisy weapon. Not the weapon of choice when sneaking up on people. I'll bet this was most likely a leftover irony from the original script.Since its release, I think I've now seen Slumber Party Massacre three times. I enjoyed it much more this time, but still can't rate it higher than a 5/10. I think that had they gone ahead and made this a full- on parody, it would have been a much better movie.

I read about this one beforehand - the feminist aspects of it - and so I kind of knew what to expect. The fact that the identity of the (male) killer is known from the get-go, does change the angle, as does the fact that several women here do things which are stereotypically done by men. Still, the male fantasy parts, in which gorgeous girls bare themselves continuously, does not seem so feminist, but then consider the fact that the female writer wrote explicit lesbian novels also... I really liked this different-and-yet-not-so-different take on the slasher genre, maybe not for all the right reasons, but hey...The killer reminded me of another film creep: Killer Bob from Twin Peaks, I'm curious if David Lynch could have been inspired by this...? With this character, the film does earn its feminist label; when he finally speaks, it is sexist, nihilist nonsense, and he is castrated in the end, and killed, only by a few girls who fight for their lives. Good on them.But will it make me think and reconsider ever watching male chauvinist slashers again? Yes, to the first, no to the latter. Blood, gore and female nudity are facts of life, why not combine them into a titillating movie? Moreover, usually in those male chauvinist slashers, there's a deeper story behind the killings, and there are not only female victims, but also male.As a feminist statement, 'Slumber party massacre' works only partly, but it's more like an extra, a 'thing' that makes the film stand out more than most slashers, even if I should not end before saying "point taken".A big 8 out of 10.

When Trish's (Michaels) parents leave town for the weekend, she invites three High school friends over for a slumber party. She also invites her new neighbor Valerie (Stille) who lives across the street. Valerie declines because she overhears Diane (Gina Mari) talking bad about her. Meanwhile, mad killer Russ Thorn (Villela) has killed a phone repair woman with a giant power drill at the girl's school and stalks the girls to their house. While the girls get high and order pizza Russ waits in the shadow with his huge drill and begins picking them off. This routine slasher film garnered some attention on its release due to its female Director Amy Jones and Female writer Rita Mae Brown. With slasher films getting clobbered by critics due to their violence towards women at the time, Jones and Brown use every cliché in the book with gratuitous nudity and gore! They would say this was a parody and there are some flashes of that, but this is a straight ahead slasher film. An early scene has Linda (Brinke Stevens) locked in the school gym and dodging the killer. This scene draws out some real suspense and the scene is visually engaging. Everything is very predictable but the massive power drill provides a lot of gore and the killer himself meets his match with neighbor Valerie in the conclusion. If you can get pass the mindless script, this film can be fun especially for stalk and slash fans.
