"Spring Break Massacre' makes all the right moves and, hey, thanks to some 21st century post-production tricks, the casual viewer might even think, for a second or two, that the film really is 25 years old and, in this case, that might be the greatest compliment a reviewer can give...Writers Michael Hoffman and Meghan Jones make the wise move of keeping the comedy toned down, avoiding an over-the-top spoof and, impressively, winding up with a film that really hugs the line between subtle mockery and expert reproduction."
"This movie feels so retro that it should be sold on both VHS and DVD in my opinion and any fan of the era will come away from 'Spring Break Massacre' more than pleased with their viewing experience...A must see film for any old school horror fans looking for a fix of pure popcorn fun. You'll feel like your back at the drive-in."
"A real treat for fans of The Slumber Party Massacre, Cheerleader Massacre, Sorority House Massacre series of films from Roger Corman's New Concorde studio. Others need not apply. This low budget slasher is filled with all kinds of knowing references to those films and manages to send them up with amusing results."
"One of the spring break films you didn't know you LOVED".
"Spring Break doesn’t take itself seriously at all. That’s not to say it’s slapstick or camp, the film makers just happen to know they’re not making high art...a good movie to pass the time late at night."
"A perfectly crafted throwback to the straight-up teen-slasher horror-comedies of the 80s that, as a genre, has sadly fizzled out. Taking the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach, SBM doesn’t pull any of that “we’re gonna reinvent the genre for a new generation” bullshit."
"Spring Break Massacre is a fun film that is worth checking out for eighties camp horror fans."
"Although this edges toward the obvious with semi naked girls getting slashed up, the film tries to follow a more thriller approach. Not knowing who the killer is, and good character generation with cops in the station, a back story with a guy escaping from prison, but a nice twist which is unexpected."
