  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  There is literally no scene in cinema history better than when they eat the pizza off the corpse.

  That drill seems to mean something. Like it's a drill, but it also might be something else. I can't quite explain. It's almost like it's a symbol, meant to imply some other object or idea that for some reason we can't see on-screen. I don't know, I could be imagining things. Maybe sometimes a drill is just a drill.

  hearing the director talk about how she passed up editing E.T. to make this project instead and how she still fucking loves it… maybe the most badass q&a i’ve ever SEEN

  Part of Hoop-Tober

  “That’s odd. None of the fuses are blown, but some of them are missing.”

  In her seminal 1975 essay, “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey wrote at length and persuasively about the pervasive male gaze in movies. Positing a psychoanalytic approach to film interpretation heavily indebted to Freud, Mulvey spoke of the patriarchal system in which classical Hollywood cinema had developed and the way in which that system interacted with male and female characters. Male protagonists and women to be looked at with both lust and fear (their lack of certain key organs symbolic of castration). A phallocentric approach, with men associated with activity and women associated with passivity. It is truly a…

  The Slumber Party Massacre is, at least to me, one of the best 80’s slasher jams—clever as fuck and FILLED with tongue firmly planted in cheek intentional humor (if you don’t see that or are unable to comprehend that than you’re an idiot—sorry), great kills, and a creepy bird-like killer who needs no mask while stalking with his penis power drill.

  When I first started branching out from the super well known slasher films of the era that’s where I discovered movies like My Bloody Valentine, The Prowler, The Burning, and The Slumber Party Massacre. I love this flick and it’s absolutely one of my top ten favorite slasher and one of the best movies with "massacre" in the title. I adore the sequel as well, but there’s just something about this movie that I can’t get enough of.

  Slasher royalty in my eyes.

  oh, so this movie is "feminist"? then why did my "boyfriend" have to tell me it's an "auger" and not a "drill"?
