Garden Party Massacre

A bunch of suburban friends huddle inside their house after a lunatic with a pickaxe crashes their party and kills their friend. Before long, they're at each other's throats in some hilarious ways.

It took me up until the 20 minute mark to really get into Garden Party Massacre. The humor and performances take some getting used to. Not every performance hits the mark every single time and many of the comedy bits fall flat, but when it works, it works really well and there are enough genuinely funny moments to make it a worthwhile watch. Even better, the film takes some really insane twists and turns right as it's starting to wind down into "been there, done that" territory.

This is the kind of zany, outrageous and funny filmmaking that just makes me smile. This movie blurs genre lines and mixes humor and horror tropes successfully. This is simply big fun served up in a bite size budget! While super indie movies aren't for everyone, my advice is to throw caution to the wind when watching this one. If you have no preconceived expectations, you will be surprised and thoroughly entertained by this humor and blood soaked romp! This is a well executed production based on an exceedingly original and offbeat screenplay by Gregory Blair. The cast performs the hell out of this one in a bombastic go for broke style!

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!

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.

Kudos. This was delightfully stupid, in a good way. :D
