The Last Slumber Party

I remember seeing this when I was like 11. I thought it was good then. But I got older and starting watching more b-movies and it turns out this one is pretty crappy. But it had a likability factor to it though. I think it's the cheesy dialogue and the really crappy 80's music. I was really disappointed that there was hardly any gore! To all you SPM fans out there. THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL TO THE SPM SERIES!!! Stay far away!!

Three teenage girlfriends celebrate their last day of high school by having a slumber party, not knowing that an escaped scrub and mask-wearing killer has set his sights on them.

The Last Slumber Party is about as far as you can get in the barrel without scraping the bottom. At under 80 minutes, it'd padded to high heaven with nonsensical dream sequences. The acting is awful with terrible line readings and women well over high school age pretending that they're still 17 or 18. The kills are all uninspired with the same blood squirting scalpel dragged across yet another hapless victim's throat. The movie also looks as if it was shot on several different formats and cut together. Some scenes look like they were shot on film and crudely transfered to video later on while most of the film resembles late 80's family camcorder videos.

I can barely even form a coherent sentence to describe to you what this movie actually is after having seen it, but I'll try.

The premise is your typical cliché: A killer comes to slice up some teens. Here, it's an escaped mental patient in a doctor's outfit wielding a scalpel. Against all odds and even logic itself, he goes on a rather successful murder-spree.

This movie is like something a bunch of friends knocked out in a weekend. They probably had no idea what they were doing, I doubt a script was written, they clearly had no budget to work with, and very little experience in making movies. But they still did it, and that's kind of amazing.

The writing is abysmal, the dialog is even worse. The editing is a train wreck, where it's clear they dubbed music over individual shots rather than entire scenes, leading to incredibly disjointed moments where cutting to different camera angle will remove the background music until they go back to the first camera. Acting ranges from wooden to supremely over-the-top. The killer in particular has lots of (great?) scenes where he's staring directly in to the camera with his eyes bugging out, waving a scalpel around for no reason, like he's trying to dissect the lens.

I had the pleasure of watching this movie with a group of friends, and we all had a blast. There's a lot of amazing stupidity worth laughing at, and the movie actually does a pretty good job of ratcheting up its own absurdity. The last 10-15 minutes are as close to a literal fever dream as any movie can come.

Would I recommend? It's a STUNNINGLY bad movie, but it's also thoroughly ridiculous and I bet everyone involved had a lot of fun producing it. If that sounds right up your alley, then by all means, check this out.

Wow! You have every possible element in this movie. The year is 1987. 3 Teenage girls have a slumber party. Their immature boyfriends stop by to try and scare them. twists and turns! JOKES! but its really funny, the mom of the girl who is having the slumber party is at home as well. ORIGINALITY! the worst actor in the film by far is the Dad, who is a doctor. Oh the orange juice. The best acting however is done by the killer himself.

Far better than Sorority House Massacre! As if thats too difficult for you to believe. But of course we still should say thanks to Slumber Party Massacre for being the true creator of the slumber party slasher craze.

This movie, besides terrible effects has the worst acting I've ever seen. This girl discovers her friend is dead, and she just walks away as if nothing happened. Then, when the killer is after her, she stands and waits for him to try to stab her. Lame, I only liked it cuz it was funny. Serious people, avoid this movie.
