The Slumber Party Massacre

Un sólido slasher ochentero sobre un «asesino del taladro», en el que te preguntas a menudo si la escena es en serio, ya que la evidente abuso de clichés de terror y al menos alguna frase realmente divertida del asesino necesariamente significan un paso hacia la comedia. No está claro hasta qué punto el desdoblamiento de género fue una intención creativa, pero la película es lo bastante entretenida y cumple su propósito y entretiene. Y desde luego sigue sonando más estable como cine que una secuela muy loca con un asesino rock ’n’ roll. (18.11.2018)

This is what happens, dear voluptuous students, when you let yourselves get dragged into a pajama party. The silent killer with the look of a train inspector tries his hand at the youngsters with a really long drill, and as we see in one shot (slightly different from the poster), it serves as a stand-in for his penis. Once it’s broken, he doesn’t head to the store for a new one; he’s simply impotent from that point on. The whole thing is like one of the opening scenes where the girls play basketball in gym class. You might appreciate the female curves, but in terms of technical skills and execution (like dribbling with gore, positioning for jump-scares, or finishing), it’s unbearable to watch. (18.11.2022)

The American-produced The Slumber Party Massacre is a pure slasher movie, so the killer’s identity is not so important because he is just another nutcase. What is important is how the girls manage to stand up to this killer. They tend to handle it pretty well, so it is never boring. It is pretty hardcore and badass at times, plus watching all the female protagonists is pretty entertaining. I would say the ladies in this movie are worth your time. (12.05.2020)
