Murder Party (2007)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Fresh and Exciting

Awesome Movie

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

A bunch of hack art school grads are drawn to a murder party by some guy named Macon- who claims to be offering a $300,000 grant.Though, really he's just a fry cook that wants to kill everyone...so he can sell their art when they're dead.Originally, they were acting as a cabal- having lured a man named Paul to be murdered.Though, they quickly turn on each other...leaving Paul to run for his life...from one of two remaining murder part members- a man, named Bill- who is dressed as a Baseball Fury (from The Warriors) hailing an axe.He chases Paul into another art party, where Paul hides in a performance art exhibit...only to get a bunch of hipsters killed too.That is...until the tables turn...Like they say..."Everybody Dies!"...but...can you kill someone who is already dead to the world? This is a siiiiiiiiiiiiick gore-comedy film. That's action packed from start to finish. With awesome- very realistic- special effects.Highly enjoyable and entertaining.7.5 out of 10.

The Lack of a Meaningful Budget can not Stop Talent and Creativity from Manifesting Itself when an Artist is at Work.Writer/Director Saulnier made this Labor of Love with Spit, Chewing Gum, and Bailing Wire. What Resulted was a Live-Wire of a Horror Homage with Wit, Creativity, and just a Desire to make it Happen.The Movie has a Feeling of Everyone Pitching In and the Result is a Near Perfect Game. Especially in the Second Half when things start to come to a Climax filled with Gore and Suspense.The First Half builds on Dark Humor and a Laid-Back Feeling of a Psychotic Playground Populated with Misanthropes on a Mission to Snap and Murder ("Everyone Dies").When the Finale Ends Up in an Art Exhibit the Director's Eye for Stylistic Images Emerges and the Film Looks Beautiful as some of the Scenes are Presented Purely as "Art" ("Still Life").There's some Snappy Music and Insider Jokes for the Horror Crowd, enough Gorezone to Satisfy Hounds, and it's All Done with Exceptional Makeup and SFX that Never Looks Cheap.Overall, one of the Best Indies out there, a Grisly, Gritty, Black-Comedy-Horror.

Once in a while, you come across an unknown indie film that is so good that you want to take it upon yourself to spread the word. Murder Party is one of those gems. This movie is funny, gory, smart and totally original. The writing is excellent and the characters are so great. I really want people to check this out because it's so good. I don't want to tell you all too much about the plot of the movie. Murder Party is so much better if you go in not knowing anything. But I will tell you that most people that watch this movie will want to copy the Halloween costumes because they are so awesome! I enjoyed this movie so much that I watched all the extras on the DVD, something I hardly ever do. The extras are excellent and the Director/Writer, Jeremy Saulnier's biography is wonderful. I really hope he continues to make more films because he is really talented!Please like me on Facebook!

MURDER PARTY is a supposed spoof of slasher movies, thrillers where people are held hostage as well as a vehicle for poking fun at art generally.The plot sees Chris, a somewhat lonely guy who lives alone with a cat, finding an invitation to a murder party. He makes a very ridiculous Sir Lancelot costume from cardboard boxes and goes to the party, which is held at a warehouse. There is no party and Chris finds himself trapped by a group of deranged drug addicts who plan to kill him and film the act.The first few minutes of the movie were quite good and suitably misleading for what is to follow. There was nothing funny but Chris was an interesting character to start with. He would have been great in a different movie.By the time he gets to the party, things go downhill quickly. This would have been better if made as a serious horror/thriller since its attempts to be funny come off as downright ridiculous or plain bizarre.Chris Sharp plays the lead role very well. His reactions were well captured. In a more serious production, I would have been rooting for his character. But with this being a parody, I knew he was never in serious danger of harm.The remaining actors are all terrible, either underacting or overacting in various degrees.Most of this movie takes place in a single setting - a warehouse. There is nothing wrong with this - if the story and script play out well. Unfortunately they do not. The deranged drug addicts just talk a lot of endless nonsense about art and film whilst Chris is gagged and tied to a chair. Some scenes carry on like this for 10 minutes or more, making the modest running time drag out somewhat.The direction is very much along the lines of parodies such as SCARY MOVIE. The gags are telegraphed in advance, the attempts at humour are massively overplayed, there is comic music in the background when Chris tries to escape and there are some incredibly silly special effects.I am a fan of "so-bad-it's-good" movies such as CAMP BLOOD, THE NAIL GUN MASSACRE, TROLL 2, DON'T GO IN THE WOODS and CHOPPING MALL just to name a few. Comparing these laugh riots to MURDER PARTY proves that humour deriving from a serious subject only works when it is UNINTENTIONAL.Overall, MURDER PARTY is a seriously unfunny movie that has one interesting thing about it - the main character. It is hard to recommend this to anyone, except for perhaps fans of SCARY MOVIE or other intentional spoofs. For everyone else, I advise keeping to established serious horror or go with "so-bad-it's-good" classics.
