The Dinner Party

I really tried to like this movie and stayed until the end but I was utterly dissapointed...the story had good potential and the gory bloody scenes should have been better but it wasn't and also I find the actors really a bit bland even the lead actress...well anyways, I gave it a 4/10 because I stayed until the end...had it been a better ending I would have given a +1 on it.

skip this one if you have the chance...

This film is about a playwright and his wife attending a posh dinner that is not what they were expecting.

First let's start with how S-L-O-W this was. I can handle a slow film if there is something interesting happening. However, a group of eccentric jerks sitting around a dinner table being snarky and passively aggressive with each other got real old, real fast.

Next let's talk about the story. Um... yeah. I'm not sure I can say that I know exactly what the plot was. Cannibalism, necrophilia and rituals are all presented to us here but I'm not sure I understood why any of it was happening.

The only things that this has going for it was the exterior of the house and they made a weak attempt to produce some gore.

I won't be watching it again and I'm not going to be recommending it.

This movie in no way fits all of the positive reviews on here. People said it was intelligent, unpredictable, thrilling. It is none of those things. The characters are so ridiculous that it's impossible to take them seriously or be scared by the villains. Not to mention it's about a half hour longer than it needs to be. Even the good cinematography can't make up for the horrible storyline and pretentiously written dialogue. This movie does nothing new, we've seen it all a million times. I wanted to turn this movie off 15 mins in, but I paid for it and wanted to get my money's worth so I suffered through the whole thing. I am begging you not to watch this movie.

At first it was going well, but then.. ?!! Guess its been voted by family members

A good third of this no so good movie is talk talk talk around a dinner table. Not a good way to movie a story along.

Of course, the story is thin.

And in the first minute of the film, you know which way it's gonna go.

It's a really slow film that brings down the energy.
