When Trish decides to invite her high school girl's basketball teammates over for a slumber party, she makes three big mistakes: she snubs the pretty new girl next door, she forgets about teenage pranksters Jeff and Neil, she doesn't know about an escaped mental patient who will soon be dropping in on the party with his portable drill! (official distributor synopsis)

The American-produced The Slumber Party Massacre is a pure slasher movie, so the killer’s identity is not so important because he is just another nutcase. What is important is how the girls manage to stand up to this killer. They tend to handle it pretty well, so it is never boring. It is pretty hardcore and badass at times, plus watching all the female protagonists is pretty entertaining. I would say the ladies in this movie are worth your time.

A solid slasher from the ’80s concerning a ‘power-drill killer’. Often, you’ll find yourself wondering if a given scene was really meant seriously or not, since the frequently used horror clichés and at least one hilarious line from the killer clearly transgress the genre boundaries into comedy territory. Hence the question: to what extent such a cross-genre approach was intentional? In any case, the film is entertaining and fills its purpose of harmless pastime. And it is much more stable than the truly crazy sequel with a rock ’n’ roll killer!
