Along with sharp satire and sharp commentary, Slumber Party Massacre is full of clever humor.

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

A gruesome, T&A-filled feminist tract about female fears of mature male sexuality.

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

Combustible Celluloid

One of the best, smartest, and funniest slasher movies of its time.

Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network

This low-budget parody of slashers has a subtle, but strong female perspective (courtesy of its writer and director) which more than makes up for the occasionally wobbly tone and speedy shooting schedule.

Rated: 3.5/5

A pretty awful b-movie. The storyline is predictable and riddled with clichés, the dialogue is dull and lifeless, and the acting is atrocious. Joyless, boring and devoid of any tension or terror, The Slumber Party Massacre is one of the worst of the worst.

"The Slumber Party Massacre" has some fun kills and occasional entertainment value, but it just doesn't compare to some of the iconic slasher movies from this era. The movie doesn't do that much to be memorable, but I can see how it may have a cult following as an underrated slasher. As someone who usually enjoys this genre, I just felt this movie was too simple to really get into it. The characters feel basic and the movie is super short and to the point. Overall, it is not my personal favorite, but for the cheesy 80s vibes and some of the kills, I would say it is a mixed bag.

With a great 80s style to it, very entertaining sequences and gory kills makes the slumber party massacre a very underrated slasher from the 80s

Meh, dumb characters, dumb decisions, dumb solution. Though i rate this movie higher because of it's cool and unique killer, short runtime and solid pacing. If you are a BIG slasher fan, then it's a must see.
