Pool Party Massacre

Really did enjoy this film, it was fun , imaginative and the acting was not bad. If you enjoy B-Movies you will really dig this feature.

As an Independent filmmaker, I thought the lighting, sound, cinematography and sound mix was well. I rated down because I was too fawn of the performances, story, or script. I am not your typical person who enjoys this genre. I watched it because for the resources they had, I was curious on how it looked overall. I didn't like it and I most won't watch it again but I did recommend it to people I know that love this kind of material, and they loved it! I would watch this director's material again to see how he feeds his niche audience. Overall, well done.

There's nothing groundbreaking here-- girl throws a pool party, uninvited guys show up, and people start dying. The kills are fun and the movie is cheesy in that special camp sort of way you want it to be.

My biggest problem with the movie is after people start dying, you expect someone to eventually notice and the remaining people have to react. That doesn't really happen until the last 10 minutes with the final girl in this movie. One-by-one each character finds a reason to go off alone and the killer picks them off. It's fun at first, but by about the half way point it's just killing characters you already don't care about.

When it gets to the last few remaining characters, you really just want it to be over. The kills are cheap and fun but it begins to wear thin by the end and the characters aren't nearly enough to carry the movie all the way through.

A spoiled rich girl throws a pool party for her equally spoiled friends once her parents are away and they're killed one by one with a variety of sharp tools in between scenes of charmless, shrill complaining.

Pool Party Massacre is well made and well intentioned and is at least smart enough to not let its threadbare plot drag past the 80 minute mark, but the characters we're stuck with are some of the whiniest and most shrill people you'll ever spend time with. There's not a redeemable one in the bunch and you'll be twiddling your fingers, waiting for them to get killed.

If you're just in it for the nudity and gore, you're in luck, because Pool Party Massacre does supply more than its fair share of that.

This is not a film written by someone who has ever heard real people speak naturally. This is not a film acted in by anyone who has ever seen someone act naturally. This is not a film directed by someone who has ever seen real people do ANYTHING naturally. Lousy dialogue, lazy plotting, indistinguishable characters, tedious pacing, boring murders. I can't think of a single redeeming feature about this film.

It doesn't even have enough sense to make the potential victims likable so the badly filmed murders are for most part a relief as each one kills off another annoying character we no longer have to put up with.

Avoid.
