I like the feminist point of view.

If there's a "Basic Bitch" of slasher movies, it must be The Slumber Party Massacre. Beyond the cliched tropes, it spends most of its time building tension towards jump scares and fake-outs, and the camera's point of view is lecherous male gaze at its worst - I've rarely seen nudity this gratuitous. And still, that "fakey" first half, despite featuring a bunch of girls that are almost indistinguishable from one another (I was often confused and I don't have face blindness), is still at least the most amusing part of the flick. Once the attacks begin, it's hard to get too excited by the generic serial killer in his jean jacket. They had to give him a big drill as a weapon just to make him more interesting, but they don't do anything too interesting with the gag. At the end of the day, The Slumber Party Massacre doesn't bring anything original to the table, EXCEPT set us up for a weirdo sequel, and that may be its greatest virtue...

A bad movie, yes, but surprisingly well composed for a B-grade slasher flick.

The psycho killer reminded me of Fred Armisen, and even Armisen would have been scarier than this goober. If there's anything interesting about this film, it's just that it somewhat defies the "final girl" formula and has two characters with a similar take-charge function.

One of the greatest horror movies of all time? Eh. But it's probably in the top 20 so far as '80s slashers go. For whatever that's worth.

One of those that's so bad it's good... If anything, just watch it for laughs.
