It's a crime to compare this to anything that even resembles Hitchcock! Are you people out of your mind? This ought to be the most obvious and predictable thriller in the recent years.. A bunch of people regurgitating "witty" remarks all the time, and AT the same time hardly make up for entertainment in my book. And throwing Jason Mewes in there to act like a retarded Jay without Silent Bob (i guess that's the only role he can play) was the low of the lowest. And the ending..well..let's just all forget that the whole thing existed and live a better life.
Nick Collier (Rick Otto) is a student of criminology, who has never completed any achievement in his life. When his teacher, Prof. Hal Evans (Glenn Quinn), discuss serial killers in class, Nick invites his friends to a party in a penthouse and kills each one of them. "R.S.P.V." has the intention of joking with Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope". However, this parody does not work, having a very silly screenplay, being watchable and forgettable. The party is in a building as if there were no neighbors to listen to the shootings and screams. It is funny calling Jason Mewes of "actor". His character "Terry" has the same behavior of "Jay", using drugs, smoking grass and speaking bulls*** all the time. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "R.S.P.V. Confirme Sua Presença" ("R.S.P.V. Confirm Your Presence")

R.S.V.P. is Hitchcock's Rope meets Scream meets American Psycho...with a touch of Jay and Silent Bob. I was leery about renting this one for the longest time because of Jason Mewes. I knew I couldn't take it seriously, but then I thought "Hey, I won't take it seriously." It turned out to be an average dark comedy. But I was right about Mewes. 30 seconds into his first screen appearance he says "B*tches", makes some sexual references, and pulls out a phat bag of weed. Good ole Jay. I thought maybe he would try to do another character, but I'm sure he was hired to be himself. Along with Mewes, the rest of the cast is quite good, with newcomer Rick Otto impressing me the most. The late Glenn Quinn also deserves mention and I'm sad to see that this will be his last role. Director Mark Anthony Galluzzo showed a lot of promise here and I hope to see future endeavors from him. R.S.V.P. is a decent slasher satire but I felt it was missing something from making it a real keeper. I believe it was the ending that left a bad taste in my mouth. Oh well, it was a decent rental. You could do a lot worse.
This movie was very good in my opinion. I first picked it up because of wanting to see more of Quinn's work (having recently become a fan,all too late), and I have to say, I didn't walk in expecting much of the actual film, because I knew next to nothing about the movie at first.
It surprised me even though I wasn't expecting much. The entire flow of the story is not like a typical movie about a murderer trying to kill off a group of people. It fits together very well, and makes the viewer take a different look at what can happen. The fact that it didn't seem to focus on the blood and gore, or the way that people died, was refreshing. And the fact that they did nothing to hide it was also and unexpected, yet welcome, change.
Quinn did an excellent job in his roll, as did most of the other actors. They gave the characters a very 'real' feeling, not of perfect people, but of someone that you would go to school or work with.
The only part that was not quite up to par was the ending. It lacked that real feeling that was present through out the rest of the film. But all in all, the movie was very well put together. Something I would definitely watch more than once.

College student thinks he has the perfect chance to get away with murder so he invites over everybody that he is close to and decides to murder them all off just for the thrill of it all.
Another over exposed, over hyped horror flick from the 2002 - 2003 period. The only thing that seperates this from the droves of other horror films is the angel from which the story is told. See, the viewer knows who the killer is the whole time and the suspense lies in wheater or not he will be caught and also wheater he will be able to finish what he set out to do. However, this isn't enough to make this mandatory viewing. The film is done with style and everything about it looks handsome, but the climax is a real dud. It's far too talky and preachy.
Rated R; Violence, Profanity, Mild Sexual Situation.

- TriviaMajandra Delfino (who did all of her own stunts) can indeed actually fit totally inside a Sears Kenmore Oven.
- GoofsWhen Jordan climbs the ladder to the roof, closeups show her wearing flat/sneaker type shoes. Before and after, she is wearing boots with large square heels. This can be seen both times she climbs up to the roof.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits there is a quick shot of Hal opening his eyes after he was believed to be dead.
- Alternate versionsIn the original version, there was a whole sub plot about Hal Evans (Glenn Quinn) also being a serial killer and there being a whole rivalry between Hal and Nick but test audiences found this too confusing and all the scenes were subsequently removed but can be found on the DVD. This information gives more significance to the final shot at the end of the credits.
