SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE is one of the less well-known slashers of the 1980s and, having just seen it, I can guess why: it's simply not very good. The story is about a bunch of nubile young women stalked by a murderous killer with a massive drill, but if that sounds frightening at all then I can assure you that this is pure cheese instead. Everything is very '80s, and the emphasis is very much on nudity, with long shower-room scenes and girls gratuitously stripping off in their bedrooms while jocks peep on them from outside. The death scenes are quite brief with only acceptable effects. Sadly, the quality of the script is pretty bad, the acting is negligible, and it's all too cheesy to make much impact on the slash-happy viewer.
