SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II
100) THE WORLD
(1987 dir. Deborah Brock) Date Seen: February 22 2022
Almost as great as the first & possibly even more successful as meta-commentary. Where this one goes a little wrong with me personally is those misplaced rockabilly music video segments. They're intentionally funny but not in a way that tonally complements the rest of the humor in the movie. Like you expect this revamped funnier version of the driller killer (a tour-de-force Atanas Ilitch) to talk smack or maybe do funny one-liners --à la Freddy Krueger-- but when he busts into full-on song & dance numbers that seem to exist in a completely separate universe from the main narrative, it muddles the groove. & the songs aren't good.. I wonder if those parts were contractually shoehorned in by Corman or one of the producers.
