7/10
Sleaze classic
29 May 2017
This might be the crown jewel of director David DeCouteau's career, which isn't saying much. Combine the plots of Demons, Chopping Mall and Slumber Party Massacre and you get SBITSB. Its not as entertaining as those movies, but its cheesy fun. There are a few laughs and the overwhelming number of bad jokes are sort of endearing. Modern audiences will eye-roll at all of the sexism, racism and fat-shaming. But you expect stupidity and cheapness in films like this. Surprisingly the cast is good and the cinematography is wonderful in HD. You can watch a lot worse in the 80s sleaze genre. Bonus points as this is probably the best acting job by the cool, sleazy but sometimes wooden "Scream queen" Linnea Quigley. She's a believable punk goddess here with lots of cute, bad-ass and nuanced moments.
