Leave your thoughts about The Slumber Party Massacre.
| TheFilmFile.comDustin Putman[Blu-ray Review] An amalgamation of satire, conventional box-checking and fright tactics, "The Slumber Party Massacre" is smarter than most naysayers give it credit. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayWhat Slumber Party Massacre lacks in style, originality, and satire, it makes up in entertainment value. It’s blessedly unpretentious. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrOne of the better Halloween carbons, thanks to an unusually appealing cast and generally good pacing by director Amy Jones. |
| IGNR.L. ShafferIt's not high art, that much is certain, but the original Slumber Party Massacre is a fun, gory good ride riddled with scares, flesh and humor. |
| The DissolveScott TobiasThough the sequels to The Slumber Party Massacre venture into outright sex comedy, Jones tries the more effective tack of playing the slasher stuff straight and inserting clever visual jokes when she has the opportunity. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanSlumber Party Massacre is not a great film - the plot is thin and the performances occasionally a little awkward - but there's no doubt that it maintains its shock value. |
| Examiner.comJeff BeckFans of the genre will find very little to appreciate here, while those who aren't fans will find even less. Unless you're desperately looking for a little T&A and blood, then it's best to stay away from this party. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIf you need a slasher flick, you could do worse |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe fact that Miss Brown and Miss Jones have obviously tried to inject a little satire and innovation into the genre just makes the ultimate vulgarity of their film all the more disappointing. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim Braytonhe strain between content and tone leaves it feeling like no other slasher film of that period, and while it also leaves it more frustrating and ineffectives... it stands out. |
