Garden Party Massacre

Kooky characters, snappy dialogue and over the top craziness will have you laughing out loud over and over. Imagine the cast of a sitcom suddenly trapped in a horror film and you get the idea. Pop culture riffs and horror movie tropes are splattered all over the place. In fact, there are tons more laughs than blood which, as a comedy first and foremost, works just fine. And even the massacre, when it finally comes, is not exactly what you'd expect.

A really fun film I could watch over and over.

If you think you've got it all figured out from the title, think again. Garden Party Massacre will make you laugh and shriek and completely surprise you as you watch the craziness the party goers go through in just one afternoon. The cast was terrific and the assortment of personalities of the characters are more delicious than a crudite platter. Oh and spoiler alert.....there IS a crudite platter! This film won so many awards, including best film and director and several for best ensemble cast. All well-deserved! Fans of horror, who have a sense of humor too, will love Garden Party Massacre. I sure did!

I like a low budget, quirky film as much as the next person, but Christ on a bike, this movie takes the absolute biscuit

I've waited at least three years to finally see this movie. I'd say it was well worth the wait. This movie was fun and entertaining. This is why more people should support independent horror, because Hollywood can't do it like this. Lots of pop culture references, interesting characters, red velvet cake, and a psychotic killer on the loose. This movie definitely has some really cool surprises and twists that I never would have expected and I dare not spoil them for you. See for yourself and enjoy the epicness. I love the randomness of it all; one minute, it's friends talking, then the next, a killer shows up to crash the garden party. This movie doesn't take itself too seriously. Some of the characters are silly and dim-witted, and that's what makes it funny. It becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse. The movie was a little short. Maybe if this does well and becomes a new cult classic, they'll make a sequel. If you love slashers, garden parties, red velvet cake, and twists, I highly recommend GARDEN PARTY MASSACRE!!

The Bad: Terrible performances by (almost) all. Lousy makeup. Timing was awful. No character depth. The Good: A few genuine laughs. Everyone involved (sadly) seemed to be putting in effort. The story was (darkly) fun. ------------- I'm guessing these people met in their first community theatre class and immediately decided they had the whole show biz thing figured out. The only one who didn't stink was the guy who had no lines. The script was there, but not one of them could get it out with any conviction. I did like how the w/d, Greg Blair, repeatedly made fun of himself and played the group dummy. The cast seemed to be having fun during production. There are a few bloopers during the credits. Ultimately, a waste of 68 minutes. -------------- To all involved, keep trying. Just about everyone stinks when they're starting out. It looked like most of you have potential. Now STOP POSTING TEN STAR REVIEWS FOR YOURSELVES! NOTHING IS TEN STARS! ------------- I was going to give a generous five stars, despite the myriad of obvious flaws, but I took away two stars because of the fake reviews.

I can't, in good conscience, recommend this film.
