Summary: Hilarious!
Review: I really like this movie! I know it's not scary but it sure is funny and that's why i like it. My favorite thing about it is when the killer keeps saying "Don't go all the way."
People don't need to take this movie so seriously. Just laugh and have a good time. If you want a scary movie try something else.

Summary: Could be better....
Review: I'm a big fan of the first. I first saw this one. Then the first. Then the last. Needless to say, like many others- is my least favorite of the series.

Remember Courtney Bates? Sure you do. She was the only "sane" (I differ on that a lot) survivor of the first. No, she didn't go to the party, but she was being babysat that night by sister Valerie. who is now in an asylum. Well, every night, Courtney has bad dreams about Valerie telling her not to have sex the upcomming weekend and not to leave home. Strike one-Courtney is going up to bandmate Sheila's condo to practice with the rest of the group. A group of local boys crash the party (just like part 1) and it seems that Courtney is still having these dreams. Now, they are about the reincarnation of the original killer. But he is going to be reincarnated as an evil Elvis-type rocker. Suddenly, Courtney is starting to have daydreams about him and she tries to warn everyone but it's too late. The killer has returned to kill them all with his drill.....

I disliked a lot about this one. The fact that the killer cracks jokes and comes out of Courtney's dreams is a little too Nightmare on Elm Street-ish for me. And that the killer breaks into song as he's doing his "thang" was annoying.

Friday the 13th (1980)

Summary: Pretty Weak Sequel...
Review: Slumber Party Massacre II just doesn't work, the producers obviously tried to be a little different with this follow up to the original drive in classic, but SPM II fails to live up to its predecessor.One of the survivors of the first film, Courtney who is now in high school dreams of the driller killer returning to butcher her. When her and a group of friends escape to a parent's summer home for a weekend of sex and rock 'n roll, the driller killer comes out of Courtney's dreams and begins killing again. This time he's a 50's rocker with a big drill extending from his guitar...pretty silly stuff. Instead of another riff on Halloween, which was what the first Slumber Party Massacre did, part II veers into A Nightmare on Elm Street territory with some truly strange moments (a girls head turning into a giant zit). The killer is really annoying as he dances around singing and prancing before he kills. The guy looks as if he's doing a bad John Travolta from Grease. Of course, all of this sounds like it could be fun, it just isn't. It's terribly pedestrian and uninspired. Even the gore and nudity are kept to a minimum.Slumber Party Massacre II has a lot wrong with it and not much good about it, even at 75 minutes, this one seems a bit long, the killer dosn't show up until the last twenty minutes and before that, there's hardly anything besides a scantly clad pillow fight to maintain interest. Skip this entry and go to Slumber Party Massacre III, it's much more like it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Banned in UK
Review: Takes the typical teen horror genre and stretches and subverts it into a blackly comic musical with a great psychobilly beat. The film works both as an entertainment and a slyly witty deconstruction of American B movie-making and pop culture. If you got the right sense of humor, it's very, very funny. I read the film was banned in UK for a "particularly virulent association of humor, rock music, and sex."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE HORROR, SCIENCE FICTON, BLACK COMEDY SLUMBER PARTY
Review: The ultimate SLUMBER PARTY. It is suspensful and downright funny. It is about Courtney (Crystal Bernard)who is all messed up by what happened in the original. She is in the school band and going away for the weekend to practice with them. She is having horrifying nightmares about this maniac with a guitar drill. She is also hallucinating very scary things. Then Courtney's nightmares and hallucinations turn real and a new gory massacre begins. Rent this Science Fiction Horror Fantasy Thriller tonight.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great slasher flick!
Review: This is one wildly entertaining ride! That rock and roll killer, well, rocks! The inexplicability surrounding the film's plot is an added bonus. The lack of explanation makes the horror all the more disturbing. A must see!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Watch out for Evil George Michael!
Review: This movie had too much foreshadowing (of a not so subtle variety). It spent the first 50 minutes trying to be artsy or something -- I am not sure what their intent was. This is a slasher movie. We know that some guy is going to go nuts and kill people. We don't really want a "buildup" to what we came for.

After you pay your dues with the first 50 minutes, you get another 25 minutes or so (yeah, it is only 77 minutes long, thank goodness!) of killing and mayhem. Not the greatest killing spree I have ever seen, but passable. The driller killer comes back as an evil rock star who looks kinda like George Michael and sings Elvis-like songs. He has a really cool evil guitar with a huge drill bit at the tip (also evil).

Oh yeah, the cover looks pretty nice, eh? Yeah, not in the movie. The cool guitar and evil George Michael was in there, but the scantily clad women weren't.

This was an OK slasher movie, but you can do better. Try the first in this series or Sorority House Massacre II instead!

Summary: Sooo Good yet Soooo Baaadd
Review: This movie needs a soundtrack. This movie has some great catchy toons on it such as "tokyo convertible", "why do you want more" and "let's roll" but the the downside about this movie is... that it is just plain stupid!!!! Heres a lead. A guy with an electric guitar which has an drill attached to the end, and goes around singing and dancing and killing all at the same time. If you can figure out why please e-mail me. With an ending which is more confusing than a labyrinth. But this movie is not supposed to be picked judged on plot, or plausibility, it is supposed to be just for fun, and it does entertain although i am not sure it's intention was to make us laugh. Crystal Bernard's debut... I am not saying anything
