You Won’t Lose Sleep Over Psycho Sleepover
We’d like to think that behind every motion picture, no matter how sleazy, cheap, or offensive, a creative person once had a germ of an original idea. We’d also like to think that world peace will occur by the end of the week and that the economic crisis never happened.
Viewers of Psycho Sleepover, though, can remind us how wrong we are. In a movie that combines the worst elements of slasher films, XXX, teen sex romps, escaped homicidal maniacs, and lady in distress films with juvenile comedy, Psycho Sleepover proves that the barrel has no bottom. This flick has only two things going for it: 1) Lloyd Kaufman makes a brief cameo; and 2) the filmmakers (Adam Deyoe and Eric Gosselin) let their audience know right from the start that the movie is a piece of crap, and they just wanted to have fun (although they wouldn’t object to making a few bucks for their “efforts”) and make a movie with a lot of naked breasts bouncing around.
The story concerns…what am I doing? You don’t want to know the story. Psycho Sleepover is dignified by anyone suggesting there is a story (although, actually there is. It’s just really stupid), and should remain what it is—a film without dignity (or plot, talent, decent effects…). Those most likely to enjoy Psycho Sleepover shouldn’t be allowed to watch it, but will anyway. Yes, this is another offering from our fine friends at Troma, where imagination may have its limits, but cheesiness does not.
Can nothing positive be said about Psycho Sleepover? Well…it didn’t cost too much to make (although some could make the argument that any amount would’ve been too much), the production crew was considerate enough to cover everything in the house used as a location with plastic sheeting, and, while it was in production, the cast and crew were off the streets. Oh…and one other thing…everyone associated with Psycho Sleepover gets to laugh their butts off whenever some of them get together and watch it.
(Warning: The following trailer may be considered offensive by almost everybody.)
