Murder Party Review

This is probably the funniest "horror" movie I've ever seen -- and it is THE perfect flick for your upcoming Halloween party (provided your friends are intelligent enough to appreciate the humor).
Without giving away too much of the plot, I'll try to tell you what I can about this monumental cinematic achievement. The box describes Murder Party as "Napoleon Dynamite meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre", which is somewhat accurate -- but I was expecting something much different (gratutious & meaningless violence), and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the writing, directing, acting, photography, special makeup FX, and limited use of digital effects were all top notch. Not bad for an indy film with minimal budget. It was very obvious that these good folks enjoyed working on this project very much -- unlike the joyless and soulless dreck being churned out by major studios nowadays.
In short, doofus loner is walking home from work to spend Halloween night alone in his apartment watching videos. The wind blows something along the sidewalk which he picks up: lo and behold, a hand engraved invite to a Murder Party -- with the ominous direction, "come alone." Doofus decides to make a "knight in armor" costume out of cardboard boxes and duct tape before proceeding to his rendezvous with destiny -- in the spookidy abandoned warehouse district.
Upon his arrival, he finds a demented cell group of drug abusing art school dropouts who thought it'd be funny to joke about killing someone in the name of Art. "We didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to actually show up!" Darwin's Law of Natural Selection in action. Anyhow, mayhem ensues, then an accidental death turns things "serious" -- and then things skid completely out of control: after which they exit the warehouse and hit the streets running.
Two of the art school dropouts' costumes were straight out of early cult cinema: replicant "Pris" from Blade Runner, and one of the baseball mimes from The Warriors. The baseball mime is a painter who is totally psychotic -- possibly in real life, as well. The scene where he goes nuts with an axe was actually a bit scary, because apparently HE WASN'T ACTING (the director said that all this terrifyingly vile stuff was coming out of his mouth that they needed to edit out of the soundtrack). Then, when he was being interviewed in the Special Features without his makeup, his face reminded me of a fellow I knew back in high school (also an actor) who was psychotic for real. He'd be just having a normal conversation when suddenly his eyes would glaze over and he'd go all zombie-nutso, not saying a word as he stared straight ahead with a blank expression as he tried to kill you . . . but I digress.
Anyhow, this film has the most realistic depictions of brain trauma that I've ever seen in a horror film (contrary to popular belief, it generally is not an instant kill, and victims can remain standing and semi-lucid after taking a mortal injury: one young lady asks if anyone smells "freshly mown grass" after a puncture of the temporal lobe, and another fellow gets really pissed off after being shot twice in the head with a low powered Makarov). The chainsaw special FX was very well done -- and you won't guess how they did it until you watch the Special Features. And -- most importantly -- Murder Party has THE ABSOLUTE BEST ENDING I'VE EVER SEEN IN ANY MOVIE OF ANY GENRE. Not a "surprise twist" at all -- just very understated, quite realistic, and probably the only way this movie could've ended. I sat there with my mouth open for a few moments, then, upon realizing the movie was over, laughed and laughed and realized it was pure genius.
"Murder Party" will be to Halloween what "A Christmas Story" was to Xmas -- a cult classic which you must purchase to watch every year at your Halloween Party.
