    Oh man what do I have to say about this movie…I thought it was funny as hell and I good movie too. I never really seen anything like it. It would be if Napoleon Dynamite was in a horror movie. It was a good independent film worth checking out.

    I agree, this film was really really cool. I am not sure I would call it a horror film but more of a blood soaked comedy. It does not take itself seriously at all. I actually had the opportunity to talk with lab of madness about their film online. These guys have been making movies together since middle school and this was the culmination of years of hard work.

    And really the film is just great on a couple of levels. Seriously go watch this movie

    I fell in love with this movie. It was hilarious! It satisfied both the (gore) horror fan and comedy fan in me. Definitely recommended!

    Definitely worth watching, this started out as a slow comedy but once he arrived at the party this movie got going. Plenty of blood and killings for us gore hounds with a few laughs. Watch this with your friends and a few beers.

    ok movie. pretty humorous with the whole “scenesters”. Worth a watch. I loved that the big drug dealer was actually just a fry cook.

    Cool movie, went into this with low expectations because of the obvious low budget, finished watching it very impressed. I can say this was one of the best indy movies I’ve seen. Definitely worth a watch. Good laughs and some good gore. Pick it up if you find it.

    I enjoyed this movie for some strange reason. It had a couple little corny jokes and gags that I found to be absolutely hilarious. The gore in this movie is excellent to the point that I would almost call it top notch. There are several gory kills but not really any imaginative kills which would have been nice. All of these things combined however can’t make up for the terrible storyline and the points of the movie that go for like 20 minutes without anything interesting happening.

    I loved this movie so much. this movie had a great mix of comedy and horror that kept me entertained the entire film. very original, the entire film i had no clue what was going to happen next. its shorter than most movies, but i think it was the perfect time, didn’t drag on at all. this movie officially dethroned shaun of the dead as my favorite horror comedy. if you haven’t already seen it, DO IT NOW!

    Pretty fun film, a good bit of gore mixed in with very cheesy comedy.

    I just randomly picked this film up at a local video store not really knowing what this was. I was blown away by this film! It was a hilarious, blood-filled splatterfest! I’m gonna have to go out and buy this movie now and show it to everyone I know. Great movie! Flawless!

    Saw this movie sitting on a shelf of a video store and had to give it a shot. I was happy I did. It’s a silly horror/gore movie that makes fun of NY hipsters. How could one go wrong?? The 80′s horror type sound track is great, and just over all a good time. It’s in my Halloween movies library now!

    Once in a while, you come across an unknown indie film that is so good that you want to take it upon yourself to spread the word. Murder Party is one of those gems. This movie is funny, gory, smart and totally original. The writing is excellent and the characters are so great. I really want people to check this out because it’s so good. I don’t want to tell you all too much about the plot of the movie. Murder Party is so much better if you go in not knowing anything. But I will tell you that most people that watch this movie will want to copy the Halloween costumes because they are so awesome! I enjoyed this movie so much that I watched all the extras on the DVD, something I hardly ever do. The extras are excellent and the Director/Writer, Jeremy Saulnier’s biography is wonderful. I really hope he continues to make more films because he is really talented!
