Slumber Party Massacre (2021), written by Suzanne Keilly and directed by Danishka Esterhazy, is an update on the classic 1982 slasher The Slumber Party Massacre. Like the original trilogy, this new version stays true to the franchise roots with its spotlight on women behind and in front of the camera.
Slumber Party Massacre follows a group of friends going on a trip where they come face-to-face with Russ Thorn aka the Driller Killer (Rob van Vuuren). Dana (Hannah Gonera) joins her friends Maeve (Frances Sholto-Douglas), Alix (Mila Rayne), Breanie (Alex McGregor), and Ashley (Reze-Tiana Wessels).
Slumber Party Massacre offers a new look into the familiar story, while staying true to the spirit of the original film.
This reimagining of the classic film makes changes which include structuring the film as a return to a location where a murder happened years ago, allowing the film to give us a more personal story about these girls fighting for their lives.
