A trio of attractive teenage girls decide to hold a slumber party in order to celebrate the last day of high school. A few guys show up to further enhance the merry festivities. However, things take a turn for the worse after a homicidal maniac (a hopelessly unscary and less than menacing portrayal by writer/director Stephen Tyler, who apparently thinks staring blankly into space is the stuff of true gut-churning horror) who has just escaped from a nearby mental hospital crashes the bash. Boy, does this exceptionally atrocious turkey possess all the right wrong stuff to qualify as a real four-star stinkeroonie: Slack (non)direction, a plodding pace, lousy community theater level acting by a lame no-name cast, rusty tin-eared dialogue (sample line: "My parents are such a drag!"), shockingly dumb and tasteless jokes about masturbation and homosexuality, tacky mild gore, a droning hum'n'shiver synthesizer score, a dopey protracted nightmare sequence, zero tension or creepy atmosphere, cruddy eye-straining cinematography, a hilariously dated head-bangin' 80's hair band rock soundtrack, and a groan-inducing "it was all just a bad dream" surprise twist ending. All that harsh criticism aside, redhead Jan Jensen, blonde Nancy Meyer, and brunette Joan Whitley all look mighty cute and sexy as our imperiled threesome of adolescent protagonists. An absolute cheesy hoot.
Repulsive Reviews
I want to start my review off in a positive manor, so let me just say I did enjoy this film. However, I didn't enjoy it for the right reasons.The Last Slumber Party was written and directed by Stephen Tyler (not of Aerosmith). I say written and directed very loosely, as well, because it seems to me like very little effort was put into this film, which is not uncommon, especially in the 80′s. However, little is excusable here. This film centers around a group of teenage girls on the last day of school, throwing a slumber party that a homicidal maniac decides to crash. Not an overly complex or original plot, although countless other films manage to pull it off much better. The acting in this film is atrocious. The characters have zero depth with the exception of a few small lines lifted from "Halloween." It's hard to give victims less character than your garden variety slasher movie, but this film does it. The editing and pacing are also quite bothersome for me. The editor must have also felt it necessary to use the same footage of the killer walking towards the camera over and over and over.This isn't a great way to spend a Saturday night, if you want to be scared, but if you want to watch a b-movie with your friends and have a good laugh, I fully recommend this movie.

Wow! You have every possible element in this movie. The year is 1987. 3 Teenage girls have a slumber party. Their immature boyfriends stop by to try and scare them. twists and turns! JOKES! but its really funny, the mom of the girl who is having the slumber party is at home as well. ORIGINALITY! the worst actor in the film by far is the Dad, who is a doctor. Oh the orange juice. The best acting however is done by the killer himself.Far better than Sorority House Massacre! As if thats too difficult for you to believe. But of course we still should say thanks to Slumber Party Massacre for being the true creator of the slumber party slasher craze.

This movie, by far, is the best horror movie of all time. The plot twists, the acting, the sheer suspense and excitement is incredibly spell-binding. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves to be freaked out, and when I say freaked out, I mean, FREAKED OUT!!!!!! Girls trapped in a house with a killer on the loose. How do you come up with this stuff? This movie has a successful formula to it, and many many writers of horror movies and directors of the horror genre need to study this movie inside and out to learn what it is that's truly scary. If you want to see a movie that makes you pee your pants, check out the Last Slumber Party. Pure genius!!
