4K UHD Review – Slumber Party Massacre II

1982's "The Slumber Party Massacre" made a little profit for executive producer Roger Corman, and he's never been one to turn down easy money. 1987's "Slumber Party Massacre II" took some time to reach screens, but it remains interested in the same idea of vulnerable women stalked by a madman with an enormous power drill, eager to terrify all. It's a sequel in some ways, but writer/director Deborah Brock aims to work on her own ideas for the follow-up, turning a slaughterama into a study of nightmares and band practice, playing with reality to best emphasize the craziness of her ideas. It's certainly more of the same, especially in the final act, but "Slumber Party Massacre II" is passably weird for the most part, which is a nice change of pace, and Brock oversees a slightly more active endeavor, learning from the shortcomings of the original effort.
