Review of Killer Bash (2005) by Silviano M — 28 Dec 2009

Fantastically bad! The script fails on every level, from the nonsense plot to the bad dialogue. The special effects, particularly the lead character's red demon eyes and alterned voice, and the -- spoiler alert -- inferno finale are cheap looking.

And that's being charitable. But this is worth a watch for one reason, and one reason only: Cory Monteith, best known from the TV series Glee. This movie was made a few years before he hit it big on that show, and it's funny to see him in such an amateurish role.

Despite the horrible material he has to work with, he does the best he can, and he easily comes off as the cast member with most natural talent and the greatest potential at a serious career. I'm still confused on the gay subtext, why all the male cast members were sans shirts so often, and especially that fraternity hazing scene where they rubbed each other down with alcohol, even though none of their characters were actually gay.

But whatever, I'm not going to complain about good-looking guys in their underwear. :).
