The Dinner Party

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.

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...

I had this saved on my Amazon next movies to watch this and it was late I didn't want to really put it on because of the 2 hour length but decided to anyways and for the first 30 minutes or so there is not really any indication of what is gonna happen but there is an evilness under with how strange and decadent the hosts are acting towards the couple the entire time telling stories that have no significance to the plot and drags on forever with not much happening but evenbefore that its kind of clear the direction this is going with the talk of eating human livers and then eventually the evil hosts make their move which was of no surprise at all and its the typical set of events that take place in these kinds films but without the build up or twists and the ending was kinda of unneeded and taking it too far pointless so overall I wouldn't recommend this way too long for no reason when nothing happens and a lot of useless dialouge.

I would recommend the 2015 film that is on netflix called the invitation much better than this in every way.

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

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.
