Murder Party Movie Download

8 / 10

Twisted horror black comedy
Hapless ordinary schnook Christopher S. Hawley (a solid and likeable performance by Chris Sharp) finds an invitation to a Halloween costume party that he discovers is actually a trap concocted by a group of unhinged artists who plan on killing him.

Writer/director Jeremy Saulnier nicely captures a festive Halloween mood, maintains a deliciously dry and deadpan, yet still dark and warped tone throughout, pokes wickedly nasty fun at pretentious artsy fartsy types, and delivers oodles of outrageous gore in the wild last third. Moreover, the distinctive characters are well drawn, the deliberate pacing evokes an unnerving feeling of real world time, and the main cramped setting projects an unsettling sense of claustrophobia. The sound acting by a competent no-name cast rates as another substantial asset, with especially praiseworthy contributions from Sandy Barnett as sadistic and duplicitous ringleader Alexander, Macon Blair as lovestruck doofus Macon, Stacy Rock as snarky bimbo Lexi, William Lacey as the laconic and reserved Bill, and Paul Goldblatt as meek photographer Paul. Saulnier’s fluid gliding cinematography provides a pleasing polished look. A savagely enjoyable hoot.Read More
