Party Bus to Hell

Was drawn into seeing 'Party Bus to Hell', with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre it fits under. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there (though there are decent to good ones as well), made me though apprehensive.

It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws present in those films are here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Party Bus to Hell' is really quite abominable, with so many huge flaws and doesn't do anywhere near enough with its potential, which was quite a good deal. There is nothing good here in 'Party Bus to Hell', just amateur hour all round.

Going on to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it comes over as vague and under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less unsettled and never gaining momentum. All the characters are too sketchy and with cardboard thin and colourless personalities and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. The chemistry is bland and unfocused.

The sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions), the effects are laughable and all of the acting is lacking severely on the whole, that's actually an understatement as the worst of it is horrendous. There is no sense of horror or engagement with the awful predicament they're in, and no connecting with the character, it just reeks of indifference which makes the viewer not care less too. Lead actress Tara Reid is the epitome of all of the above.

Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace and film drags on forever, apparent from the very start, never recovering that interest is lost fast. The ending has no build-up and just ends ridiculously. Found too many of the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Thrills are none, thanks to stodginess and excessive over-familiarity, and found myself never invested in the drama, which tended to be indifferently acted, interminably paced and statically directed.

A lot of 'Party Bus to Hell' has really dull and going nowhere plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you shocked are far from creative or unsettling. It all feels rather mean-spirited. Anything included to attempt to spice things up, namely the nudity, is overused and abused, most of the time to a pointless degree.

Nothing freaky or interesting, no development and too derivative, while everything is unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show any sense of dread. There is nothing interesting or illuminating with what the film was trying to do and the drama is overwrought with no momentum and a lot of weirdness. The direction is leaden, got the sense their heart was not in it, and the music is ill-fitting. 'Party Bus to Hell' is very amateurish visually, making one feel nauseous and actually did feel a headache coming on. Especially the lighting, epileptics need to be aware of the headache-inducing overuse of flickering. The editing is some of the worst ever with more continuity errors than one can count.

Altogether, irredeemably terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This movie is not just terrible it is terribly terrible. Tara Reid is in it for like one minute which is too bad because even though she is terrible she is still the best actor in this. The movie is pointless, very cheap looking, with cheap sound. Not even the boobs can make this movie worth watching, there are a billion better movies if you just want to see boobs where there is also a plot that is not incredibly boring and there are jokes that are actually funny. The entire plot could be about two minutes long, no kidding. Just terribly done from start to finish. Seriously how bad does a movie and the boobs have to get before guys watching it get bored of looking at the boobs and turn it off? That actually happened here. Guys got bored of these boobs. This movie is so terrible.

I thought Tara Reid's mother had a guest appearance at the beginning, but it turned out to be Tara Reid doing some kind of Mummynado. We get lucky with her not being in it for very long.

We don't get so lucky with the overall film however. A group head out on a bus trip to The Burning Man Festival but end up lost and being on the menu for some demon worshipping cannibals.

It just ends up being silly with laughable effects and shows laziness on the production end of it. The demon suit near the end takes the prize. There is consistant nudity which may or may not help you get through this film.

I recommend you stay off this bus and wait for another.

"Party Bus to Hell" is the typical movie that reflects how sad the IMDb is after the recent modifications. The film is an unfunny garbage, with the cameo of Tara Reid that looks like an unhealthy dummy (or mummy?). There are also fake reviews and ratings to promote this flick and lure the unwary reader. The gore, nudity and breasts are so stupid that never entertain and the poor CGI is awful. The overrated IMDb User Rating (5.5) is a bad joke. In the end, what could a viewer expect from a film entitled "Party Bus to Hell" with Tara Reid as the lead actress? My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Overly long nudity its so passe and been done to death - i presume the directors are a bit desperate for a woman and have never seen a woman's breasts before so puerile in its derivativeness, crap special effects and terrible gore effects that look like a 10 year old did on his mums kitchen table - heck maybe they did!

The two directors and producers of this garbage have zero talent and just copy stuff that has been done to death a million times so its not funny, its not interesting and its pure drivel - They should go back to their day jobs shovelling crap instead of transporting this cinematic excrement onto cheap digital footage!

I made a movie on youtube thats more interesting than this drivel and it only took me 5 minutes and a bucket of crap!

My brother has never asked me to turn off a movie in the entirety of his life but after 15 mins he told me to put that off!!
