Murder Party
2007
Magnet DVD

This is another of the films that I got when Movie Gallery was going out of business. A good friend of mine had just told me that he thought I would enjoy it. So I added it to my Netflix rental queue. But the last day Movie Gallery was open, and old DVDs were only 50 cents each, I found Murder Party in the horror section. So I figured for 50 cents I couldn’t go wrong.

It is the Halloween night and in Brooklyn NYC some loser finds a invitation to a costume party. So he rushes home and makes a medieval knight costume using pieces of brown cardboard and heads out to the party.

He arrives and discovers that it is a trap. A group of art students left the invitation laying out in the street. That way someone they didn’t know would show up. They plan on killing this person and filming it. The cardboard knight is knocked out . Each of the art students has on  a great costume. And the art students argue over how they are going to kill him. But they are waiting on someone to show it. One of the students is accidentally killed by ingesting acid,this death is so well done and very gory.It is this mega douche bag guy, who seems to be the alpha male of this social group.

Well through some various mistakes the cardboard knight manages to escape. And the rest of the film is the various art students chasing him through the city as they try to kill him. We get to see the art students die some gruesome deaths. Plus some well done dark comedy.

The DVD has a nice selection of extras. We get a entertaining commentary with the director. A making of feature. Some outtakes and bloopers that are actually very funny. Then my favorite two extras. One shows you how to make your own cardboard knight outfit. And the other is a how to make pumpkin bread feature. This is a great film for anyone that loves dark comedy. Murder Party gets a B.
