Monster Party

I love horror films. Watch this film if you love horror films. Really gory and great fun. If you do not like horror films do not watch this film. Simple really!

Suspense-filled, action-filled and not a bad performance among the bunch. No pretense as far as being great art or some loftier kind of film. Traditional horror/slasher archetypes in place, but also a good deal of originality. Recommended to fans of the genre.

Wasn't sure what to expect but this movie had my attention the whole ride through. There's quite a few elements going on in it but it comes down to homicidal urge control & survival. I loved how you got to see the different sides of all the characters and their motives. The violence was brutal but not in some lame torture film way. Definitely a film to see if you're into slasher films or strange eerie movies in general.

A decent slasher film that is just missing more. ... more deaths, more character development, and more of a story. There are some pretty stupid moments, but its an ok watch.

Three young burglars pose as butlers n enter a big mansion with the intent of robbing a la Dont Breathe. One of the burglar is in dire need of money as his father is held captive for non payment of money lost in gambling a la The Collector. Good to c Robin Tunney aft a long time. We also get to c another known face Lance Reddick as the leader of the cult who in order to prevent further killings, peels off the skin from the face of an unruly guest. The film has lots of violence n gore. It's been a long time seeing a katana being used to slice off body parts. A head gets chopped off like a watermelon. I found the cinematography very good considering the budget. The houses shown were damn beautiful. Malibu is indeed beautiful.

Acting was okay, but how the story was told doesn't make it a comedy horror, it makes it just another bad movie. It's like he tried to remake the artificial moonlight and elite parties from the movie Eyes Wide Shut but didn't quite have the effect he wanted. And who the hell was that disfigured dude down the in the basement? The Babadook?

I found it interesting it's a heist gone horror. But people part of a "mysterious society" reminds me of marvels runaways, and it was a good mind teaser to figure out what the society is all about and if someone is good or bad or a hybrid sort of. The concept of this society itself could mean a possible sequel, where the ending person(s) carry on the legacy maybe with new rules or perhaps the opposite of what the society intended.

Monster party directed by Chris Von Hoffman is a very watchable and competently made horror/ splatter movie. Yes movies like this have been done before, yes there is lots of obvious blood and gore, yes it is filled with psychos doing there typical psycho killer thing. But ya know it was actually kind of fun and filmed pretty well to boot. It is very violent and sadistic. The movie revolves around a girl and two guys who rob houses and are led into the house that is the setting for the movie and the so called "Monster party". No need to get into details about the plot, that is the jist of it. If you are a horror movie lover, I would say give this one a shot. Though ya know I am still not too sure about the ending. I would have probably went somewhere different with it. The movie also stars Robin Tunney and Lance Reddick which undoubtedly made the movie a little better because of it. I'll give this one a 6.5. It had some pretty crazy kills in it.
