Sleepover Nightmare (2005)

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The story is not original at all, but it is exactly more of what slasher fans want: people getting killed by a crazy psycho. In this case, teenagers (it is always them) are killed while in a party, at a remote house, by an unmasked - but long-hair-covering-the-face type of - killer. Pretty innovative, huh? But as I said, it just follows the road of 95% of the other titles in the subgenre. The real problem is that its OK script could have resulted in another average slasher movie, had they been granted more money to get decent producers, directors and actors - I must say that the guy who plays the killer acts well his part, though. It looks as if they used an old Cybershot to record it, giving the tone of a completely amateur project.

This movie is fantastic! What a great parody of a horror film - intended or not, it made me laugh for nearly 80 minutes. If you're bored with "Police Academy" or "Muppet Show", rent this one! You're gonna die laughing! The first funny thing is the killer - he looks like a grunge fan from the 90's. The next great thing is that I thought, watching the movie, that it had been done in the late 80s/early 90s and later it turned out it was made a year ago! What an extraordinary vintage stuff! Also, I liked the way the actors had played in the movie. They were so natural as if there was no casting or harsh actor training telling them how to enhance their roles. Everything was superb in this film and I hope there will be at least one sequel.I love it!!!

Telefilm Canada is government agency that helps fund movies and TV shows. It has been criticized for mostly funding obscure films with little appeal to the general public. It has been trying to fund more mainstream movies but it's too bad they didn't pass on this one. It was on a movie channel and I began watching I immediately assumed it would be a bad movie and it surpassed my expectations. But I was stuck on the couch and wanted to see how bad it would get. After watching the movie I assumed it was a first time director who somehow got the financing together. In Canada productions are often made by people who know how to write the proper grant applications not the people who can produce something of quality. But I found out the director has been around for many years making bad movies and I guess he knows the ins and outs of financing but never learned how to write or direct a movie. I thought at first it might be an over the top movie that was meant to be humorous but that was not the case it was a clichéd slasher film without any redeeming features except the bodies of some of the women in it. But if I want to see attractive woman I can watch an adult movie and they take their clothes off. This movie has no nudity but a fair amount of cleavage. It makes no sense and one doesn't care about any of the characters. Avoid this film. Don't let it make any money and perhaps the Canadian Government will be more careful about financing films. Movies can be mainstream and good at the same time. I hope Telefilm Canada learns that lesson one day.

Attention was somewhat lacking after twenty five minutes of this film. While the beginning was interesting, the film itself was simply not as entertaining as the transport car get smashed to bejesus and back.The whole premise of this film is during a party, the convict that escaped after the transport vehicle was destroyed escapes and hides out on the rich slut estate. The boyfriend cheats on his girl, and in the end it's the male and female main character, the slut, and the cool horny guy who stay the night after a couple of party goers get killed. Aside the token stereotypical Scottish grounds keeper, the film was pretty much boring. Only two of the kills (including the death scene in the killer's origin which isn't as far fetched as it would seem if you read the news) were really believable. I'm sorry but a beer can to the skull would crush and wouldn't penetrate into the brain. While that guy wasn't dead, even the force used to drive it against the skull wouldn't do that much damage.In the end, the killer becomes inhuman and manages to stand atop a car going 45 while trying to continue his bloody rampage and just won't die. While the premise showed promise, the film was just way too out there and definitely not all that interesting. They made the killer too inhuman and pretty much made it so he could move from one place to another in a matter of seconds, while if I were to run the same distance, it would take ten minutes. A ludicrous film filled with bad acting and bad writing. Only thing it did for me was make me really horny, which really wasn't a help for my single life.
