The Dinner Party

If you run out of your prescription sleeping pills, I rate this film highly as an alternative.

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

I'm not impressed with this one. I generally love horror movies where you know something is off but you can't quite put your finger on it. I like movies where the tension builds slowly until it reaches some unforeseen end. Unfortunately, the subtlety required to pull off that kind of movie was missing entirely in this one because the characters were over the top. They were caricatures rather than characters. It is so obvious that something strange is going on that you're not surprised when everything goes to hell. And the ending is cheesy. It's too bad. It's an interesting story and it could have been a good film had it been done right.

1 2 and 3 star reviews are honest 5 Is being kind and anything above is a fake review . The story is thin at best the dialogue is tedious and some of the acting in painful to watch . I only watched because the IMDb score wasn't bad for a horror but really wish I'd not wasted my time

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.
