La fiesta mortal

No this isnt the BEST horror flick Ive seen. Its more like a mystery than it is horror. But It's defiantely NOT the worst. If there was nothing on TV , I would watch this for sure. I think this is kind of cool. Once again , this is a movie directed at teens - made in the mid-80s - possible for Drive In Theaters. That makes this movie a cult classic - sorta... There are like no known (or at least I dont't know who they are) stars and you may never know what's going to happen next. Sort of reminds me Of 'Night Of the Creeps' , without the Creeps.... So , this is horror , late night TV and it's an 80s flick - if you haven't seen it and have the opportunity to - and are WILLING - go for it - It won't hurt....much.

Killer party offers a combination of horror and laugh-out-loud bad effects. the storyline is not new and at times is very predictable but what saves the film is that you can't help but get involved. the film achieves the difficult balance between being hilariously poor and being at times truly terrifying.

a true 80s horror film. it is perfect for light hearted entertainment, offering both laughs at the low budget effects and occasional moments of terror.

"Killer Party" opens like no other horror/slasher movie ever. It's a good 9 minutes before the actual movie begins. The opening 9 minutes pull the rug out from under the viewer not once, but twice! These two opening segments did a fun job of jumping on the clichés of the time. Gotcha scares, drive-ins, and hair rock music videos routinely seen on MTV. It is an absolute blast. The actual movie tells the tale of three young women pledging to a sorority on campus. They have to go through the usual pledge/hazing shenanigans. Unfortunately, a party is to be held in an abandoned frat house, where a pledge was accidentally killed years before. It appears this pledge does not rest in peace, and the party-goers are about to find out the hard way.

"Killer Party" is a horror movie with a sense of humor. Not only the humor that is in the movie in itself, but the fact that the film knows what kind of movie it is, and has fun with it. The movie just has a sense of fun all around it. Great locations, 80s nostalgia in your face, and just enough eerie atmosphere here and there. It does slow down in some spots, but it isn't a concern. However, for a slasher/horror movie, the death scenes are relatively tame, and not all of them do we see for long or, in some cases, at all. No matter. The movie was written as a fun horror movie, and that's what we get. A horror movie with humor, standard slasher conventions, a taste of the supernatural, a dash of college hazing hi-jinks, and it's own music video! "Killer Party" really does seem to be the "Everything and the kitchen sink" horror movie.

Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

O.k. I can tell you a lot about this movie, good and bad, and some facts. Lets start with the facts- This movie was originally filmed in 1984, sat on a shelf for 2 years, until MGM/UA picked it up, had a week or two theatrical release in spring of 86. The movie, is basically about college horror, 20 years ago, a pledge was accidentally killed during a prank. 20 years later, 3 sorority sisters pledge at the same college. The party takes place in an abandoned house, where the pledge was killed. A party is planned, students begin to get killed, but a demonic force invades one of the 3 girls. The demonic force is the spirit of the 20 year dead student. I quess you know what happens next.. Things i liked and dislike about the film 1. Most of the killings take place off screen. For a horror r-rated movie, this could have (by todays standards) been an easily PG-13. I saw the TBS version, and there is not much cut out, Acept a little, and i mean little nudity, its like the makers forgot that it was supposed to be rated R. What i did like is the totally unexpected beginning. Yes, a mid 1980's music video. with a quiet riot/ratt group. My overall rating is a B- I have seen worse.

This film is currently out of print, and most likely will be indefinite. By all means get a rental copy... good luck!

This is a movie people will either love or hate. I have an infinity for 80's and some 90's horror. I think they are the building blocks of what people consider horror today.

Which there hasn't been in good horror flicks in a long time, if you don't count Insidious or The Conjuring. Even then those did not make the hair on my body raise.

But Killer Party did back when I was a kid. Not so much the atmosphere did but it was the character of Jennifer that did. What she did was give me nightmares at eight years old.

The three friends are easily the best characters and actors in the movie if you don't count Martin, who is the comic relief.

If anything watch for Jennifer and Martin.

It's a story you've probably heard somewhere else but what makes it different is how the story is set up. I just wish that there had been more background info on the evil itself.

I liked how the movie ended but there is no second party because the movie flopped. So there's no resolution. It's an open ended ending.

I did find out that there was suppose to more gore and scenes but had to re-edited and filmed due to the MPAA rating.

Give it a try if you like campy fun with a little hair raising.
