You’ll just have to watch and see for Yourself.

               

Critics Critique:

“A good-natured film, even if a majority of the cast meet their deaths by being on the wrong end of a giant power drill.” Paul Freitag-Fey (Daily Grindhouse)

“The strain between content and tone leaves it feeling like no other slasher film of that period, and while it also leaves it more frustrating….it stands out.” Tim Brayton (Antagony & Ecstasy)

“Slumber Party Massacre is not a great film- the plot is thin and the performances occasionally a little awkward-but there’s No Doubt that it maintains its shock value.” Mike McGranaghan (Aisle Seat)

“[Director Amy Holden] Jones tries the more effective tack of playing the slasher stuff straight and inserting clever visual jokes when she has the opportunity” Scott Tobias (The Dissolve)

Enjoy.

We Hope You Enjoyed this Power Drill Killer Movie as Much as We Did.

Friday Horrorfest Film: THE LAST SUPPER

Welcome to Friday Horrorfest Film featuring THE LAST SUPPER the 2007 Japanese Cannibal Slasher Horror Film Written and Directed by Osamu Fukutani. The Last Supper is Based on the Work “The Shonan Flesh Eating Conspiracy” by Kei Ohishi ( a Writer Know for His Novelizations of Popular Horror Movies). Just the Mere Mention of Cannibalism would make Most of Us Feel Uneasy Due to its Disturbing and Taboo Nature. In the World of Film Cannibalism could be considered an Important Sub-Genre of the Exploitation Movie Era which was Popular in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

           

Brief Plot Summary: A Plastic Surgeon named Kato Excels at His Job hides a Dark and Deadly Secret. After Finally Succumbing to His Desire to Taste Human Flesh, Kato soon finds Himself ADDICTED TO THE TASTE OF HUMAN FLESH! Kato’s Newly Indulged Cannibalistic Tendencies lead Him to Discover Further Culinary Delights at a Seedy Underground Restaurant with some Extremely Sinister Dishes. MURDER AND MAYHEM ENSUE as the Dementedly Detestable Doctor Continues to find New and Gruesome ways to Satisfy His Abnormal Appetite.

     

The Last Supper contains a Ton of Bloodshed and Splatter Movie Gore (Including Decapitations, Face Ripping, Limb Dismemberment, Heart Ripping) and Seriously Bizarre and Chilling Highlights that include Kato talking to the SEVERED HEADS OF HIS VICTIMS while Dining on Their Flesh, a BLOOD CURDLING Wedding Finally, and a Sequence where the Underground Restaurant/Night Club has a Sickening Special on Their Menu where a Female Dancer is Decapitated with Her Body Sliced Up and Cooked. Kato is the Film’s Main Viewing Strength in the Manner He Remains Cool and Calm while Performing GRISLY AND MURDEROUS ACTS upon His Victims (and Let’s Face it Kato and the Gore are the Main Reason to Check Out The LAst Supper).

Enjoy.

We Hope You Enjoyed This Tasty Tale of a Flesh Eating Psychopath as Much as We Did.
