| 1 | * BestKnownForTheFanservice: The shower scene is the most remembered part of the film. |
| 2 | * ClicheStorm: It's a bit like a parody of ''Film/BlackChristmas1974'' except with more nudity, CatScare, and less political content. |
| 3 | * CompleteMonster: [[SerialKiller Russ Thorn]], the "[[ThisIsADrill Driller Killer]]", is a twisted maniac and mass murderer who emerges from captivity to slaughter his way across the sleepy town he finds himself in. Killing numerous people in agonizing ways and even disemboweling the heroine's coach, Thorn hunts the slumber party to kill everyone there until his death. Somehow reborn as a musically inclined, leather-clad greaser, Thorn hunts his old victim to slaughter a new slumber party and kill everyone in his path while happily using ThePowerOfRock to taunt his victims. |
| 4 | * NarmCharm: The score by Ralph Jones. In spite of its awkward instrumentation (as in, it's literally played on a cheap Casiotone) the music is often quite catchy, and the actual tunes are pretty solid. At times, it sounds a bit like a MIDI tune from a 1990s PC game. |
| 5 | * OlderThanTheyThink: Much of the film's parody element of the slasher genre is due to the women being treated as adult, sex-obsessed, and rounded female characters rather than cliches. This had already been done in ''Film/BlackChristmas1974'' as an UnbuiltTrope and actually described the cast of the original ''Film/FridayThe13th1980.'' |
| 6 | * ShallowParody: A lot of the elements intended to send up the slasher genre are elements that were DeadUnicornTrope elements. The send-up included three-dimensional female characters obsessed with sex, drinking, and pot rather than shallow good girls. Which is actually more prevalent in slasher movies than not. The men are also treated as completely expendable as well as helpless in the face of the crisis, which is usually the norm. This is the genre that created the FinalGirl trope after all. |
| 7 | * SoBadItsGood: This film is what happens when a feminist writes a pisstake of cheesy, objectifying slasher flicks... and then the (female) director films it entirely seriously. The end result is an incredibly goofy movie. |
| 8 | * SoOkayItsAverage: Taken as a straight example of the slasher movie, it's pretty typical of its genre, save (ironically) more nudity than usual. |
| 9 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Before killing Thorn, Valerie cuts his phallic drill in half. |
