Critique: If you like watching an idiot prance around in a stupid leather outfit to rockabilly music drilling people, you'll probably love "Slumber Party Massacre II". Guess what! It was all a dream. No that was all a dream and she's a lunatic. Didn't like spending the evening with the valley girls and boys. Didn't like the interminable musical and dance numbers. Didn't like the various it's a dream cop outs. Didn't like the driller. Didn't like it, period.
Plot Summary: Courtney, the younger sister of Valerie from Slumber one continues to have bad dreams about the massacre. Valerie herself is still in the mental hospital, hardly able to talk. Courtney is off to school, and sees a dead dove. Now there's a bad sign. She gets picked up by a friend, and they see Matt on the road and he gets invited to watch the rock and roll practice. The girls then do a musical number. Don't worry, the song will end eventually. The plan is a weekend out with the girls at a condo, and Matt and some other boys are invited. Courtney's still having gory dreams about the massacre, but otherwise, spirits are high about the slumber party. Once they're there, let's break out the champagne and cheese whiz. A couple of boys arrive early and enjoy the traditional slumber party floor show. That night Courtney dreams more clearly about a man who kills Valerie. Courtney gets thrown into the pool by an over-frisky idiotic boy. she seems not to want to come up. Where was all the equipment when they were driving up? We are mistreated to other musical interludes. Courtney's fantasies are more and more entering into her waking life. She thinks a blood spouting chicken attacked her. Include blood in the toilet and the exploding pimple incident for Sally, (in which she is supposed to have ended up in the trash compactor.) and they call in the police. When Sally was really just out buying some oxy ten, it's agreed that Courtney is getting out of hand. Suddenly Courtney's killer is corporate and the drilling starts in earnest. They get a hold of a car, but they make the classic mistake of not looking in the back seat. They get back into a house and call the police, but of course the cops don't believe them now because of the previous cry of wolf.
