Synopsis:
A new contemporary twist-filled reimagining of the 1982 slasher cult classic just in time for Halloween. A slumber party turns into a bloodbath, as a psychotic serial killer wielding a power drill disrupts the fun.
The film will premiere on SYFY later this year. Danishka Esterhazy (The Banana Splits Movie) directs from a screenplay penned by Suzanne Keilly (Ash vs Evil Dead). Hannah Gonera, Frances Sholto-Douglas, Mila Rayne, Alex McGregor, and Reze-Tiana Wessels star in the remake, which completed filming in South Africa last March.
Producers have released a “First Look” at the Slumber Party Massacre remake! Give it a look-see below!
We still don’t have an exact release date for Slumber Party Massacre. Though the film will premiere on Syfy sometime in 2021, it’s still seeking international distribution with Raven Banner handling global sales with Shout! Studios during the Cannes Film Festival, currently running through July 15th.
“Remaking one of the seminal films of Roger Corman and Amy Holden Jones’ early work is exciting and audacious. But there are no better hands in which to place this challenge to Danishka Esterhazy, Suzanne Keilly, and the team at Blue Ice Pictures. Their creative vision will both honor the Corman ethos and captivate today’s audiences,” said Brent Haynes, Shout’s Head of Original Content Development.
While we wait for updates, check out the trailer and synopsis for the original Slumber Party Massacre, directed by Amy Holden Jones and released in 1982, below.
Synopsis:
