Wissenswertes
Rita Mae Brown wrote a screenplay for a parody of teen/slasher flicks, and titled it "Sleepless Nights". However, when she submitted it to the producers, they filmed it as if it weren't a parody, and retitled it "Slumber Party Massacre". As a result, the movie displays a lot more humor, both intended and unintended, than others of this genre.

Patzer
Trish picks up the coffee pot (which cracked on the "hot" stove) with her bare hands.

Zitate
[the girls are covering up the pizza guy's dead body]
Kim: He's dead, all right. So cold.
Jackie: Is the pizza?
[Jackie takes a slice of pizza]
Jackie: Well, life goes on after all and eating makes me feel best when I feel bad, and boy do I feel bad.
[she takes a bite of the pizza]
Jackie: I feel better already. Really, I do.

Alternative Versionen
Although passed intact for cinema the UK video release suffered 30 secs of BBFC cuts with heavy edits to the drill murders, stabbing scenes and the climactic death of the killer. The title was also changed to "Slumber Party Murders" due to the video nasty scare sweeping the country at the time. It was eventually passed fully uncut for DVD in 2003 with the original title restored.

Feminism in a slasher film? -- I think not!

I've heard a lot of stories about this film: that it was directed and written by a feminist of the 70's; that it stood as an allegory for Women's Rights, or in this situation, P*ssy Power and the S.C.U.M manifesto; that Amy Jones' main proposal was to present her victims as developed characters and not pieces of meat. However, after finally viewing Slumber Party Massacre, I wasn't impressed one bit, and did not identify these redeeming qualities mentioned above.

The film depicts a group of beautiful teenage girls planning for a weekend slumber party. Two male characters decide on panty raiding the party, as well as picking up a few assets; however, what they don't know is a drill-welding sadistic murderer has just escaped from prison and he has a few plans of his own.

A large percentage of the film features some brutal scenes, and sometimes reaches the point of gratuity. Overall, Slumber Party has a few chills but mainly works under a hackneyed slasher-flick foundation (i.e., who is the most foolish? Who will be the survivor(s)? Will the killer be a sequel? etc.) Nevertheless, it's a very violent and foolish film (nice try Amy) but if it's a overall feminist statement the director was trying to make, why does she have to resort to the sophomoric horror commonplaces that we are sick of. And of course, this film was followed up by 2 sequels.

Rating: 1 star.
