Blu-ray Review - The Last Slumber Party
August 11, 2024
My first exposure to 1988's "The Last Slumber Party" was ten years ago, when the team at Rifftrax added the feature to their catalog of comedy. The movie was a perfect fit for mockery, finding director Stephen Tyler's general inability to assemble a film inspiring perhaps one of the most consistently hilarious offerings in the company's history. And now, in 2024, a rewatch "The Last Slumber Party" has to happen, only this time without jesting, facing the goofiness and technical limitations of the endeavor sans help from trained riff professionals. With this picture, all the extra goofing around helps, as Tyler looks to add to the tradition of slasher cinema, only he can't master any of the technical challenges facing him. It's a long 72 minutes with unlikable characters and production blunders, while suspense is not present in this amateurish genre exercise. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
