Emanuela Betti Bitch Media Along with sharp satire and sharp commentary, Slumber Party Massacre is full of clever humor. Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Scott Tobias The Dissolve [Director Amy Holden] Jones tries the more effective tack of playing the slasher stuff straight and inserting clever visual jokes when she has the opportunity. Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2014 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness A gruesome, T&A-filled feminist tract about female fears of mature male sexuality. Rated: B Jul 29, 2005 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Jones injects a fair amount of humor into the proceedings, but it's not always clear what's intentional and what's not, making for an occasionally confounding slasher film. Rated: 3/5 Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins At least the film has a very short runtime, clocking in at less than 80 minutes, even if its pacing is so bad that it occasionally feels as if it’s an hour too long. Rated: 3/10 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid One of the best, smartest, and funniest slasher movies of its time. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jelisije J A straight to dvd slasher movie that offers what you expect from a low budget slasher movie..... you get terrible acting, blood and gore, and a whole lot of female nudity. Nothing to hate and nothing to love either. Its a movie to waste time to fall asleep to. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Rebecca B Blooming love this film. It's the exact level of cheesiness and violence I expect from a film called Slumber Party Massacre. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Lucio S Slumber Party Massacre is a great horror flick. The plot is good, characters are somewhat well defined and overall progression is great. While the villain has little substance, the gore is great. 8/10 would recommend. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 13 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Nick O Take aspects of Halloween like exceptional camera work, great performances, inventive storyline and throw them in the trash. Now you’re just left with a homicidal maniac stalking teenagers. Perfect! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Farah R Terrible even by 80s standards. The acting is awful, the story is a rehash of other horror tropes, and the kills are laughably bad. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
