Two years ago, the whole high school pranked prime prankster Ashley
(Savannah Raye Jones) pretty badly, so much so that she shot dead the
instigator of the prank, her boyfriend Carter (Sebastian Bjorn), and got
locked away in an institution ever since.
Now, Ashley's best friends from back when, Sam (Laura Welsh), Barb
(Chynna Rae Shurts), Miles (Allegra Sweeney) and Alana (Jax Kellington),
meet for a weekend of partying at a cabin in the woods, in pretty much a
desparate effort to get over what has happened back when. Thing is, the
girls have different ways to cope, from the need to talk it over to the
urge to drink everything away, which creates some awkward kind of tension.
Also that their friend Mikki (Nicolette Pullen) has apparently never made
it to their cabin but can't be reached doesn't exactly lift up the
atmosphere. Then news breaks there has been a break-out at the institution
where Ashley is held, and sure enough, soon a masked killer is roaming the
premises who's clearly after our heroines but happy to kill everyone
getting in the way ...
At its heart, Pillow Party Massacre is your typical slasher with
pretty girls running from a masked killer, with the final girl being
easily identifiable early on, and even with a silly yet promising enough
title. But despite all the elements being in all the right places, Pillow
Party Massacre manages to add some unexpected depth to things, by
presenting the audience with fleshed-out characters and character arcs
that go beyond the genre-typical stalk'n'slash - but when the killings set
in, the film's right on the money as well, making this a pretty cool piece
of genre cinema.
