Slumber Party Massacre II

Years ago, Valerie Bates and her little sister Courtney were the soul survivors of a drill-wielding psychopath. However, the experience put poor Valerie in a mental institution, leaving her tomboyish little sister and the girls' mother alone to cope. That was years ago, however and now young Courtney has grown up to be a teenage knockout, who just happens to look like Crystal Bernard of the TV show "Wings" fame. She is struggling to live a normal life, despite terrible dreams involving her institutionalized sister, blood, gore, smoke and a James Dean-from Hell looking Rock N Roller, who just happens to use as his weapon of choice, GET THIS, a fire engine red guitar drill! She tries to put her dreams out of her mind by accompanying her girlfriends on a weekend of fun and partying, but her dreams go right along with her, as poor Courtney begins to have insane hallucinations involving the black clad shock rocker from her dreams. As this is going on, her friends slowly begin to disappear one by one. Can it be true? Has the Driller Killer been reincarnated as kind of a demonic Elvis Presley? Or is Miss Courtney Bates ready for a one way trip to the Booby Hatch? While this movie may not be (Ok, IS NOT) the greatest movie ever made, it does qualify as a KILLER B Movie (Pardon The Pun). Besides, let's be honest folks, who wouldn't want to own the Driller Killer's Guitar Drill? The Guitar Drill ALONE makes the movie worth seeing, and the gore sequences and fire special effects DON'T hurt.

Has there ever been a movie that would have been hurt by having a plot? I point to Slumber Party Massacre II. Who was the killer? Where did he come from? Why was he killing them? Where can I get a guitar like that? Why did he continually do the intro to "wipe-out?" Was it all a dream? Or was it a memory of a dream of a hallucination of a dream? Does the director want me to believe that break-dancing is frightening? Why didn't the girl with large breasts get naked? Why did the ugly girl get naked at all? Why the blow-up doll? Why did they build up the romance of the girl from Wings (the sitcom, not the parade of stock footage from the Discovery channel which was much more entertaining) and Rob Lowe's little brother , only for him to be the first to get drilled? Was the killer made out of oily rags? What was happening at all in this movie!

Frankly, I don't care. A lucid plot would have been a dead weight on this movie, dragging it down and holding it back from becoming the paragon of movie making that it is. All movies should be written and directed while drunk and filmed over a weekend in a housing development while the foreman was in the port-a-jon. A rocker with a drill on his guitar! Breakdancing! Blow-up dolls! Unlike the killer, I got satisfaction!

I rented this for free with the intention of getting a good laugh. I got exactly that. Invite some friends over, watch this movie, and prepare to die laughing. If it's not a falling rubber hand, or a flying chicken, it's a killer with a drill..... on his electric guitar! This movie is worth the two or three dollars you would spend to rent it just for the laughs. Great fun. And next time you and your friends are having a naked champagne fight, watch out for the Driller Killer!

The Plot = After Vicki's friends were brutally murdered at a slumber party a couple of years ago she was admitted to an asylum. Her younger sister, Courtney is all grown up now though and is getting ready to leave for a slumber party weekend with her girlfriends. What she doesn't know is that someone is all ready there, waiting for them... or is it all in Courtney's mind?

Naked girls in pillow fights, a killer with a drill at the end of his guitar and weird hallucinations, wow did this sequel change the story completely or what. The first "Slumber Party Massacre" was good, this sequel however is just too strange, It definitely ain't as good as the first one, I mean the dream sequences are just weird and the killer is far from scary to be honest I found him rather stupid He looks like he was pulled out from some 80s rock band with his leather jacket and very customised guitar. I guess they tried to make it a bit more original than the first one. Either way, It's is still a very entertaining movie and if you liked the first one, you will definitely like this one as well.

I still can't decide if the plot, characters, dancing, music, or the villian is the worst part of this movie. But God knows I won't be watching it a second time to figure that out. Extremely cheesy 80's horror, so if that's your thing, maybe you'll enjoy it. I didn't go into the film expecting much, thankfully. But man...it's not a good one.
