Day 3 Slumber Party Massacre 1 & 2!!!!
Day 3 SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE!!!!
Ever been afraid of a penis? Well you frankly should be. Maybe. I don't know, we'll touch on that later. HA!
Slumber Party Massacre
A typical story of what happens when girls sneak beer, weed and porn magazines to a sleep over and a man uses a two handed drill with amazing music to kill them one by one. Seriously the music in this was hilariously amazing.Always saw the box art for this one in Video Stores, but never rented, Lots of side boob, full boob, butts, camera panning over butts for no reason other than to let you know they exist,and some of the most hilarious screams I've heard.Did not disappoint lol. Not as bloody as I thought, in fact pretty restrained. Fun ending and cheesiest of the cheese acting.
What a time to be alive when this one came out, it’s both hilarious within itself and outside of itself. How do I mean?
Well for one. There’s this. How should I put it…
There are many tropes with the horror genre. One of them, I’d go as far as to call a staple of, especially from the time period. Is ample nudity. It was a different time in film. A time when actresses breaking out in horror were. Well it was more or less part of your job, expected you’d flash your breast if not more. There were a few actresses that embraced and loved it, others not so much. Of course there is nudity here, but that’s not the fun part I’m talking about. No it’s the beyond obvious wink and nod nudity to for the audience. Allow me to set the scene for you.
Gym shower time, girls locker room. Two ladies ins talls beside one another discuss their plans. The camera slowly tracking left to right as they discuss their plans. The camera showing many a bare back and breast. But the camera suddenly halts. It begins lowering, and lowering, and lowering. Until finally we have reached bare back butt and the outback bush country. It doesn’t even cut away, it LINGERS!!! Then slowly pans back up!
It’s like the camera operator was caught perving out then realized “Oh shit, we’re filming” then panned back up to follow the girls ‘talking’.
Of course they kept it in! And that’s what’s hilarious! There is no excuse for it, no explanation past ‘This is just for you, and you know who you are.” All that was missing was a guy popping his head from around the side of the camera giving a thumbs up.
There’s a lot of little stand out scenes in this that were sort of a turn though on the norm, and it provided a few good laughs and moments. We get a girl perving over a Playgirl magazine full of big hunky dongs, We get some sisterhood bonding and pot smoking. It’s not all typical male fare in the movie, and it’s an actual nice choice. But again seriously the screaming in this is comical and I love it. You gotta check it out, especially the end, it’s just….epic
As for the sequel? Well…
Does the driller killer from the first film make a return?!
No
Does a demon spawned of slumber party magic kill anyone?
No, not really.
Is anyone from the first one back?
Well yes, actually.
Also no nudity or white girls smoking 'The Pot'. So how do you follow up a semi successful film about girls taking a shower in High School, having a sleepover, smoking the pot AND peeping boys?
By giving the survivor PTSD, a fear of penises she projects with a 50's style greaser who wields a guitar with a drill, makes horrible rhymes, does AMAZING dancing and pulls a Freddy krueger on her friends that's how!
WHY, WHY do I keep saying fear of penis?! Well the woman who wrote this labeled it as such. Any time the leading lady finds herself in a situation she may find....courtship, she has fun amazing rockabilly dreams with a guy thrusting a large guitar drill around....like a penis, and death follows.
Yes, yes it is as amazing as it sounds.
Sure it's not grounded in reality like the first one, and its as subtle as a hammer to your nipple. But it's fun! Where the first film was unique and mildly entertaining, this one is just....well. Fun! Seriously, any time the killer is on screen it's a delight. Even if the movie rips off a few Freddy moments, and everyone believes the surviving lady is pants crappingly insane. It's a fun story and a good way to confuse your friends after watching the first one.
Why bother making a great follow up with actual PTSD and a killer looking for revenge, when you can say screw reality, let's dance!
I can’t stress to you enough how amazing the music is in this. The rockabilly music and horrible lyrics, the guys dancing. It’s all so magical. Mixed in with her friends handling of her….dillusional hormone driven visions. I mean granted they aren’t ALL hormone driven but come on! The only thing honestly that is TRULY hormone driven with nightmares is Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Freddy’s Revenge. THAT has layers upon layers of….well yeah. But this, it’s hard to put honestly. She tries living a normal live, but at the same time, these visions of death and rockabilly haunt her and different friends she sees die, which they don’t. Until they do.
AND they are triggered at moments with her flirting so, read it as you may. It’s still a blast to experience. It ain’t surreal. It’s not anywhere near what the original was. By dangit, it’s still great, and it’s own thing.
Also the fear of the Penis. Look it up, seriously.
Also watch these!
