Reviews
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Mr_Ectoplasma "Slumber Party Massacre II" follows Courtney, who survived the first film's events as a child, and now as a teenager is plagued by horrible night terrors in which the killer has reincarnated as a greaser armed with a drill bit-adorned guitar. She and her friends, who have their own band, go away for Courtney's birthday weekend to one of the girls' parents' condominium, located in an undeveloped complex out of town. Needless to say, the killer crashes the party.This is a film that I expected to hate based on the sheer absurdity of the plot synopsis, but I'll be damned in this isn't one of the more fun late-eighties slasher entries. It's patently ridiculous-everything from the killer's methods of dispatching victims to the corny rockabilly tunes he belts out as he stalks them. He looks like an extra from "Grease" crossed with a late-eighties Los Angeles hair-metal singer, but there is something bizarrely charming about the character."A Nightmare on Elm Street" was a clear influence here, and the film is chock full of overt references to other films, primarily in the characters' tongue-in-cheek names. Speaking of the characters, they are each wildly likable, and the performers are all attractive and have a spunky chemistry that makes the proceedings even more fun. The film is also surprisingly well-shot for a production of this caliber. At 75 minutes, the film is lean and mean, with most of the slasher action barreling onscreen around the 60-minute mark. The ending is silly, but somewhat ties up some loose ends as to why on earth the hapless teens are being stalked by such a ridiculous villain.In the end, "Slumber Party Massacre II" is logistically a much better film than it should be. The premise is absurd and its serves up the late-eighties cheese that a faction of slasher devotees live for. I couldn't help myself from enjoying all of it, from its most absurd elements to its most competent. 7/10.
jaxenross Wow, what a pile of crap here. I never thought I'd give this a two, but there's so much that has to be bad with this movie; especially for the protagonist, we all get that she's sensitive after what had happened in the previous film - but it seems they give too much of it here. The dream scenes seem mandatory and just drag on through most of the film. And the ending is just the most dreadful part of the movie; it's not scary, it's just foolish. I get there's a lot of people who find this funny, but I don't find it that way - I'll respect the fans of this movie.The only approval of this whole film? THE LET'S BUZZ SONG! Because why not?
Stay_away_from_the_Metropol I have certainly never seen a movie in my life that makes me feel quite like Slumber Party Massacre 2 does. It is one of those movies that is so horrible, so cheesy, so nonsensical, and so bizarre, that you will simply be thinking to yourself the entire way through "I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS EXISTS". Somehow it's disturbing simply because it is an actual movie! This is an effect that a lot of B movies and horror movies can produce, especially from the 80's - but I think SPM2 just might wear the crown as the king of that specifically.I definitely do not agree with the movies IMDb rating of 2.8 out of 10. Not in any way. You should feel privileged to be viewing something that is this BONKERS and was somehow actually greenlighted, financed, and released as a "real movie"!!! It is a rare occasion. It is a diamond in the rough. It's one thing when a movie like this is created and it's not entertaining, but this movie will light your brain on fire and keep it torched. You won't stop WTF'ing for its entirety.This is a rare movie that screams with it's own innovative personality. This is a movie that doesn't care what makes sense to you or any of it's viewers. It's wigged out to the max and that's the way it wants to be. Even the editing was stylish, impressive, and effective during the nightmares sequences and some of the more horrific parts. This movie has more style than the majority of horror - just like the Driller Killer himself.This one isn't even about the gore. Although there is enough gore to keep any horror fan satisfied. It's about weird ideas and one of the most ridiculous and pointless (in a good way) BAD GUYS ever! No one can forget the goony Driller Killer in this. The guitar-drill is probably the coolest horror villain weapon in history. It never gets old.Forget linear stories. This is a ride I wouldn't mind taking over and over and OVER again. Let it drill into your mind!!!! If anything, it's worth it just to see the most intense zit popping scene I never could have imagined...
unkle_nasty_fingers Oh...My..GOD! Where has this movie been all my life and how come I never heard about it until now?!?!?! Me and a friend rented this on a whim, it had the cover design of a porno movie with the slick presentation of an 80's mastercheese horror flick. I never saw this coming. My face is still sore from laughing so hard 24 hours later.Slumber Party Massacre 2 is the greatest movie to kill a 12 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon to. Seriously. I got what I expected out of it, and SO MUCH MORE! Where do I begin! The Driller Killer! He is cooler than Freddy Krueger has been in years. His one liners were hilarious, his dance moves supreme and that kick ass guitar with the drill on it ruled. I also dug the 50's Rockabilly soundtrack.This is the single greatest Horror/Comedy/Rock n' Roll movie of all time. Joe Bob Briggs would have loved it.Better than the Rocky Horror Picture show.
