Directed by: Amy Holden Jones
Cast: Michelle Michaels, Robin Stille, Michael Vilella
A group of high school
seniors from Venice, California, are having a slumber party, but a maniacal
killer is roaming around with a giant power drill terrorizing and killing
people — mostly girls.
This film was clearly written with feminist intent, to poke fun at the genre, which makes this slasher film interesting. Because, in spite of the intent, I am not quite sure it was delivered on screen as intended. Still, the use of gratuitous nudity is so in-your-face that it does make you take notice of the craziness of the exploitation genre. There is also a lot of symbolism, let’s just say, in the drill chopping scene.
This is not a grand film, by any stretch of the imagination, but it still entertaining and a very interesting look at the exploitation/slasher film genre.
