Having a few friends over for some old-school sleepover marathoning. Just finished our first film, and while everyone's running to get more snacks or taking bathroom breaks, I thought I'd fill you guys in.
There are 4 people, including myself... so the ratings out of 4 just are like... our of the 4 people, so and so liked it.
Slumber Party Massacre
Boy, this was fun! It sort of mimics our situation, considering the whole sleepover aspect. Sadly, no one was murdered during - or before - the viewing of this film. Very slick. It has a modest runtime of 70 minutes and it works perfectly (I hate drawn-out movies that simply bulk up to fill 90 minutes.) The murders begin right away, and continue up until the conclusion. Visually stunning. Loved the witty camera tricks (the peep hole drilling, the drill between the legs, the real life / film cutaways, etc) and the overall look of the film. The quality was stunning on the transfer, but I was *so* glad it still had the film dirt, dust, scratches and cigarette burns. It gives the film such a great feeling. Everyone was laughing throughout this film. The real-life dialogue and conversations were great; and like all good slashers, gratuitous nudity and horny teenagers (Playgirl makes an appearance!) I'm surprised this one isn't mentioned more often. So much fun! Everyone loved it, so 4 out of 4.
The Burning is up next. If someone doesn't loose a hand trying to work the blender...
