This is definitely more of a reboot than a remake. It has a good setup and includes myriad homages to the original and even its wacky sequel.

The intent of the OG to satire the slasher and bring out strong female characters was somewhat subverted by producer Roger Corman (while still creating a very progressive slasher for its time). Well, this one goes for that concept full bore and I feel it achieves the goal.

There are a number of very funny scenes, including one with the guys next door having a half naked pillow fight & the girls stepping in to protect them. There's also a hilarious shower scene that just has to be seen to be believed. Sometimes things are a little too "on the nose" but it's still very fun. Oh, and the kills are pretty good too.

This reboot was a ton of fun.

Slumber Party Massacre has this interesting idea; "reimagining" the original while trying to subvert the genre's clichés. Well, it fails. At least not too miserably, since its confusion at being either satire or parody will give you a good laugh or two.

It's sleazy not because it has TV-Movie quality written all over it, but because its idea was done half-baked. While not as smart as it thinks it is, nevertheless is a much better film than the latest Black Christmas.

..that tries a little to hard to with wink wink nudge nudge. A little more subtlety woud have helped. Overall I enjoyed this one and had a little giggle here and there. If you know your horror tropes and like them to be a little bit twisted around here and there while, you as the viewer, aswell as the film makers, are aware of the fact that it's done for fun, give this one a go. Just don't expect a serious Horror flick, this isn't one.
