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.

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.

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

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

I am not slating the movie, it is by far not the worst I have seen. I am sure many will enjoy but not for me.

Not a bad story line, have seen the whole dinner party massacre thing before. But this movie does it with a twist. starts off quite slow alot of diologue and opra, some scenes feel classic horror with the score and filming methods, which is intentional but works. Most of the gore is off screen and implied. Few scences of female nudity and a lot of profanity. For me it's not my favorite sub genre in horror, and I found the film a little strange and not massivly engaging. But the movie is done in the style of classic horrors films and not your modern slasher, monster movies. Overall not really my thing, but would suit fans of the satanic old school style horror.
