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.

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.

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.

Horror remakes still have potential as proved by Slumber Party Massacre which not only respects the original but makes its own twist and turns it into a good horror movie. It's as stupid and fun as the original trilogy but way more exciting than any of the first three movies. There is a lot of winks to the original trilogy but the remake is still its own thing by giving a strong feminist twist to it. Slumber Party Massacre makes fun of as much as it respects the current feminist wave talking, tongue-in-cheek ,of toxic masculinity and putting guys into random revealing moments. Some kills there are nasty, thanks to the series having finally the capacity to offer descent special effects. Surprisingly, the movie is divided into three distinct parts each of them bringing their own twists while keeping the whole story coherent and easy to follow.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
