Garden Party Massacre

The Bad: Terrible performances by (almost) all. Lousy makeup. Timing was awful. No character depth. The Good: A few genuine laughs. Everyone involved (sadly) seemed to be putting in effort. The story was (darkly) fun. ------------- I'm guessing these people met in their first community theatre class and immediately decided they had the whole show biz thing figured out. The only one who didn't stink was the guy who had no lines. The script was there, but not one of them could get it out with any conviction. I did like how the w/d, Greg Blair, repeatedly made fun of himself and played the group dummy. The cast seemed to be having fun during production. There are a few bloopers during the credits. Ultimately, a waste of 68 minutes. -------------- To all involved, keep trying. Just about everyone stinks when they're starting out. It looked like most of you have potential. Now STOP POSTING TEN STAR REVIEWS FOR YOURSELVES! NOTHING IS TEN STARS! ------------- I was going to give a generous five stars, despite the myriad of obvious flaws, but I took away two stars because of the fake reviews.

I can't, in good conscience, recommend this film.

Kooky characters, snappy dialogue and over the top craziness will have you laughing out loud over and over. Imagine the cast of a sitcom suddenly trapped in a horror film and you get the idea. Pop culture riffs and horror movie tropes are splattered all over the place. In fact, there are tons more laughs than blood which, as a comedy first and foremost, works just fine. And even the massacre, when it finally comes, is not exactly what you'd expect.

A really fun film I could watch over and over.

This is the kind of zany, outrageous and funny filmmaking that just makes me smile. This movie blurs genre lines and mixes humor and horror tropes successfully. This is simply big fun served up in a bite size budget! While super indie movies aren't for everyone, my advice is to throw caution to the wind when watching this one. If you have no preconceived expectations, you will be surprised and thoroughly entertained by this humor and blood soaked romp! This is a well executed production based on an exceedingly original and offbeat screenplay by Gregory Blair. The cast performs the hell out of this one in a bombastic go for broke style!

Kudos. This was delightfully stupid, in a good way. :D

If you think you've got it all figured out from the title, think again. Garden Party Massacre will make you laugh and shriek and completely surprise you as you watch the craziness the party goers go through in just one afternoon. The cast was terrific and the assortment of personalities of the characters are more delicious than a crudite platter. Oh and spoiler alert.....there IS a crudite platter! This film won so many awards, including best film and director and several for best ensemble cast. All well-deserved! Fans of horror, who have a sense of humor too, will love Garden Party Massacre. I sure did!
