The Slumber Party Massacre

Seen it?

Weeknight Watch

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It made about 16 times its budget, but middling reviews (48% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 5.6 out of 10 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.
