Verdict on The Slumber Party Massacre
Recap
The movie follows a group of friends who decide to have a slumber party. They go through the typical events before a serial killer targets them leading to a fight to survive.
Best Parts
It fits the slasher concept perfectly for a movie made in the 1980s. We get the selection of disposable teenagers and complete the typical selection for a serial killer. There are moments of humour, which give it the same tone we know from the much more popular choice of movies in Scream.
Worst Parts
The movie is one of its time, and you can see a lot of things looked down on now. It is one for cult horror fans to enjoy the most.
Final Thoughts –The Slumber Party Massacre fits the cult favourites perfectly.
