Slumber Party Massacre

I read something once that talked about Slumber Party Massacre and how it had been given a lot of crap when it was released for being sexist, but how it isn't actually sexist because it was written and directed by women (yeah, because women are never sexist *eyeroll*) and that it's actually a feminist movie.
First of all, I could get into a whole big thing about how most slasher movie heroes are women and it could be argued that, therefore, all those movies are feminist parables.
But I'm not going to. Because that would be stupid. Looking for meaning and symbolism in slasher movies is like looking for Donald Duck at Disneyland. Sure, he might be there and if you're into that kind of thing it might even add to your enjoyment of your vacation. But some of us are just here for the rides.
So now we all know where I stand on that issue.
Slumber Party Massacre is about some girls who get massacred during a slumber party.
Okay, okay, there's more to it than that. We're told about thirty seconds in (thanks to a poorly worded newspaper headline) that a man who kills women with a drill has escaped from prison. A teenage girl is left home alone for the weekend and has friends over to hang out. Her next door neighbor (a middle aged guy) promises to check in on them and her other next door neighbor (one of her basketball teammates) is at home babysitting her sister who's probably supposed to be about thirteen but looks like she's about twenty four.
Driller Killer targets Teen Girls and the Teen Boys Who Play Pranks On Them (Probably In An Attempt To Get Laid), people get killed, screaming happens, blah blah blah.
There's no real surprises to Slumber Party Massacre, it's a by the numbers affair. I've been cursed with genre-savviness at this point; I know when it's just going to be a cat jumping out at you, I know when someone's dead when you're supposed to think they're alive. It's predictable.
It's also a fun and entertaining way to spend an hour and fifteen minutes. I've been on every ride at Disneyland but that doesn't mean I don't want to go back every chance I get.

End of line.
