SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 3
As if you couldn't already tell how bad this is
Why do I rent movies I can spot as a loser from a mile off? Because it's fun to bitch about them later. Another slumber party, another driller killer, and that's about it. This one doesn't even have musical numbers or a super-funky drill-guitar. Joe Bob insists there were nine breasts - I counted six, although we saw some twice.
Here's a cast without a lot of self-preservation on their minds - one guy just lies there and takes it, not even trying to get away, when the villain hamstrings him with a chainsaw. Later, after the surviving girls have blinded the killer with bleach, they scream and run and beg for mercy but it takes a long time for them to get up the nerve to walk up to this sightless idiot (who's just yammering and swinging his drill around aimlessly) and whack him with a polo club. (marginally amusing use of "Marco!" "Polo!" here)
This film contains a false Inconspiculator - an item that gets so much screen time, you just know somebody's gonna get impaled on it. Note my disappointment that there were no swordfish impalements. However, there is an electrocution from a vibrator being dropped into a bathtub. (doesn't a vibrator that plugs into the wall just strike you as a bad idea? I am not ever sticking anything into my body that plugs into an electrical socket, I don't care how horny I am)
I dunno - there's lots of other movies as bad and exploitative as this that have endeared themselves to me with their anti-charm, so that's not the problem. You can't get by the crapitude of this one. The gimmick behind this series is that they're all written and directed by women. Maybe, if I'm feeling particularly optimistic, I can imagine that the point of this is to show that women can exploit this shit as well as men can. But if this series is anything to go on, I'd have to say no, they can't. They can do it as enthusiastically, but from what I've seen, not quite as well. Sorry.
