Review of Murder Party (2007) by Karen S — 29 Oct 2009

MURDER PARTY definitely isn't for everybody, if you don't believe me just check out reviews elsewhere which seem to be divided into two camps;"brilliant, hilarious,& well acted" and "the worst movie I ever saw" in almost equal numbers which is how we wound up with an over-all 3 star rating for the flick.

I'm obviously on the the positive side for this unexpected little gem of a horror comedy. It might be better served by comparisons to FIDO than to SHAUN OF THE DEAD since its more of a satire than anything else.

Perhaps the fact that it is a satire of the pretentious world of modern art is what puts the nay sayers off. When you say horror comedy these days people automatically think "splat-stick" and expect EVIL DEAD or DEAD-ALIVE, but there's more to comedy than pratfalls and pies in the face as FIDO proved and MURDER PARTY underscores.

I hope to see much more from these guys in the future!
