2.0 out of 5 stars This time the Slumber Party is at a beach house (yawn), November 18, 2003

This review is from: Slumber Party Massacre 3 (DVD)

Predictability ends up being a virtue rather than a sin with "Slumber Party Massacre 3," the 1990 film that was the third installment of the original trilogy (if repeating the same story counts as a trilogy). A young girl has a slumber party with her girlfriends at her parent's beach house. Their boyfriends show up to try and scare them, but out in the darkness lurks a homicidal maniac with a power drill who takes advantage of the situation.

This film was the one and only directorial effort of Sally Mattison, and the script was written by Catherine Cyran, which made me sit up a bit when the opening credits rolled by because I was curious as to how a sex & slasher flick that was directed and written by women was going to be different from the normal voyeuristic approach employed by their male counterparts. Now that I have seen the movie I find it hard to believe that I have gained any insights into what young women do when they play "truth or dare" by themselves. Then again, women have never been the target audience for these movies. This is just another instance when I tried to have a semi-deep thought about this film and was brought back to some semblance of reality when such thoughts spiraled out of control.

Once again the soft core elements in "Slumber Party" outweigh the blood and gore of the "Massacre," but neither justifies getting this far into the series. Watching the first one twice would be better because the second time around you could read a book or pick up stuff around the room. It was a toss up as to whether this film was better or worse than the previous installment, "Slumber Part Massacre 2," and I ended up going with this one because it had more violations of my personal rules of things to do when a mass murderer is in your house and because I was rather offended by the revelation of the killer's motivation. You do not watch these sorts of movies for social relevance. Dismissing this film as a rehash of the first two is rather a moot point because if your title has "Slumber Party" and "Massacre" in it there is little reason to expect creativity in terms of the plot. The killings are your one chance at being artistic, so to speak, and there is nothing special here in that regard. The first killing is the best of the bunch and then the film deteriorates.

Final Note: If there were scenes where (a) the killer went out and nailed shut every door leading out of this house and (b) the teenagers tried every door and found it nailed shut, then I must have missed them, which is strange because I do not normally fall asleep during movies. The victims in this film are definitely Top 10 nominees for stupidest teenagers in a splatter flick. There is only so many times you can yell "OPEN...THE...DOOR!" at the screen before your voice gives out.

One of my few blind purchases. I was always curious about this series. However I think I made a mistake buying the 3rd one first. The movie is a very acceptable slasher film with some good gore... although not enough. There is plenty of T&A, more so than gore, I mean what do you expect from a horror movie called Slumber Party Massacre? The thing that sort of got me a bit mad was that 3 of the implied kills on the back of the box never happened... in fact the pictures on the back of the box, all but one, were actually in the movie. If you can find it for 5 bucks it might be worth it, but I would try and find something else. What excited me the most was the Slumber Party Massacre II preview (which somehow was a coming attraction) where the killer is a rock star, it looked hilarious so I'll definitely be picking that one up. (6.5/10)

This review is from: Slumber Party Massacre 3 (Unrated) (VHS Tape)

Slumber Party Massacre 3 came out when the horror genre was going through some major problems but when this movie was released it turned things around.
Part of a popular movie trilogy that started back in 1982 Slumber Party Massacre 3 starts out with some high school friends out at the beach playing volleyball while the girls are planing a slumber party for the night at the one of the popular girls house the boys plot to crash the party but not knowing that a maniac killer with a portable drill will also be crashing to kill everyone that gets in his way.
With a bit of a twist of why the killer is out to kill everyone the story line comes out that as a child he was sexually abused by his uncle and his uncle committed suicide at the time the killer goes haywire and acts out as he is the uncle to all the sexy co-ed girls can these girls survive this horrible night just have to watch and see.
