Esterhazy and co have a few clever-ish tricks up their sleeves that invert viewer expectations.

Slumber Party Massacre revels in its status as a teen horror film but admirably refuses to let that be a reason to dumb down either its gender politics or tame its more visceral, gut-churning moments.

Tales from the Paulside

All in all, this is not a by-the-numbers remake. It takes a remarkable and astute movie from nearly four decades ago and refits its story for all generations of slasher fans.

Rated: 3/5

Rue Morgue Magazine

Written by Suzanne Keilly and directed by Danishka Esterhazy, the remake manages to outdo its predecessor with a hilarious, heartfelt, and terrifying modernization of the ways women now view each other.

Rated: A+

Daily Dead

Keilly's script is sublimely subversive without being too heavy-handed with the story's messaging, and Esterhazy has done a fantastic job of bringing this genre classic into our current times.

Rated: 4/5

Flickering Myth

Taking a page from Halloween 2018, this remake of the '80s slasher satire dives into the trauma that comes with horror. While comedy isn't great, the gory more than makes up for it.

Who are these idiot so called critics?? Every single film people like these critics hate. They clearly are paid to promote certain movies and or get paid by advertisers to be kind .. This re make is a pathetic modern day attempt, bad cheap actors, tickboxing and lazy attempt. And im sorry but casting a certain skin color in a horror film when you can't see them in certain lights( usually dark in horror films right? ) is too pathetic

This reimagining of the 1982 film is not half-bad. Slated as a 'comedy-horror' on some review sites, it certainly is not a comedy. Some very creative deaths as you could imagine with the primary tool of murder being a very big drill. The young cast is fairly likeable, especially the girls who are obviously in the thick of the mayhem. Good film for a quick and silly watch with some ridiculous deaths.

Random serial killer with a drill, half naked women with no clue, and a bloodbath. Sounds like the typical 80's horror film but it all works nicely in this one.

It's decent until the 3rd act when the acting suddenly becomes pretty bad & the final 20 minutes feels like an hour.
