Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Justin Easton There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

thx1449 Dudebro is a blatant farce on found footage movies, on straight-to-TV flicks, on horror tropes, etc.If anyone has seen the shorts made by 5SecondMovies, the company behind this production, they'll know that all the stupid, often terribly executed effects and plot devices are intentional.It's a chance to revel in the mediocrity of it all, a chance to sit back and laugh at the actors and the genres the film represents as a whole. It's very self aware, and all-the-more moving in it's desire to be nothing more than fun and fancy-free. Something Hollywood should be more willing to capitalize on in an age where cynicism has become a cruise control to cool.

arfdawg-1 The Plot.In the wake of two back-to-back mass murders on Chico's frat row, loner Brent Chirino must infiltrate the ranks of a popular fraternity to investigate his twin brother's murder at the hands of the serial killer known as "Motherface."Stoopid plot.First of all the two amazing reviews here are written by clowns who worked on the film. Why does IMDb allow that? I guess they can't control it. This is not a 10 or 10 movie by ANY stretch of the imagination.It's yet another found footage mess of a movie. Example -- within the first 2 minutes. A therapist takes a pencil out of a pencil case and it makes a knife metal sound. Then in the two shot she doesn't even have the pencil anymore!OMG. Amateurs at workSpecial effects? Think actual drawings for buildings!!!! Not even CGI!!! And somehow Larry King is in this film! And a like 60 year old porn star. The "college" kids all look like they are pushing 40. The acting is horrible.In fairness, the gore is abundant and funny. When there is no violence, the movie is the dregs

Rob Miller Full disclosure: I've been a fan of 5SF for years and even bought tickets to the world premiere at the LA Film fest so I'm probably a fanboy.There are a plethora of horror comedies out there, and many self aware entries into the genre will poke fun at their own tropes, but never before like this. The best summary of DBPM3 I could give would be Friday the 13th mixed with Airplane mixed with the volleyball scene from Top Gun. The film has one of the highest jokes per minute rate of any I've ever seen: any duds or misses are swiftly forgotten when another joke is laid out less than 10 seconds later. It grabs a hold of your funny bone and mercilessly throttles it, I felt physically exhausted by the end.Even though it is a satire of 80's slashers, most of the jokes are timeless, and don't require extensive knowledge of the genre/time period to understand (and good thing too, I imagine the target audience was still in diapers during the 80's). It attempts to recreate the poor quality film making of low budget slashers, and largely succeeds, to the point where I couldn't tell which mistakes were intentional (i imagine most of them) The only stumbling block for me was the side plot involving Officer Sminkle. Although funny at times, it seemed to drag on, and was only tangentially related to the plot. For me it never seemed to join cohesively with the action at the frat.My advice? Get a group of friends and a case of beer before viewing this movie. It is strong on its own merits, but seems to have been created with group viewing in mind.

John Booth Just as some movies that should be great turn out to be awful, some movies that should be awful turn out to be great - Dude Bro Party Massacre III. Unfortunately, for a film that's based on a Frat party gone wrong, none of the current Frat members are going to admit to liking it now. Few will give it a chance and realize the direction is good, the acting is good, the music is good, that it's exciting, funny, scary, suitably epic and absolutely action-packed and that it looks fantastic.What looks like suicide at first glance - converting an average Chico party into a full-length feature - gets more appealing when you look at the source material closer. The real party was an epic hybrid of Dude broness and parties, with ancient teachers and janitors mixing with sex and murder. It also has a classic Alfred Hitchcock Birds feel, mixing Ancient Greece-era symbols and people who don't understand their significance.Dude Bro Party Massacre III succeeds because it takes the real experience of College and adapts not it's superficial qualities, but it's essence into a movie, turning it into a mature Homedy. This is where so many College based movies failed. They don't adapt their source material properly to make a successful feature film. You need to make the movie a natural progression from what it's based on, altering the look enough so it looks acceptable in real action, altering the characters into real people, choosing actors who can give real performances. It's not simply dressing superstars up as characters from a Fraternity, it's re-imagining the ideas as a movie. DBPM3 does this perfectly. You can fault it as a film itself, of course, but you can't fault it as an adaption.The production design is superb, with some superbly realized sets and costumes. Everything has been adapted to look more realistic on the big screen. The cast give uniformly decent performances. Nobody lets the side down - these are all 3D characters. Alec Owen proves he's one of the young men in our society who can truly act. Patton Oswalt gives an outstanding performance as Chief, his powerful presence almost bursting out of the TV and into your living room. Oswalt gives a shining example to all actors portraying hooded figures. There is a pervading sense of dread whenever he appears and the script gives him some awesome lines which he delivers with pure comedy prowess.Setting the movie in the middle of nowhere has it's advantages and disadvantages. It does give the film a human component. It also makes the murderer scarier - rather than being a distant psycho. On the other hand, it would have been cool to see some more of Chico and it's weird inhabitants and locations, but DBPM3 had a relatively small budget, so that sort of stuff was off limit anyway.DBPM3 is also packed with action, and we do mean packed. There is an outbreak of violence every 15 minutes or so, usually even less, and there is variety and imagination among the content, unlike many Homedy films, which consist of repetitive one-liners and fart jokes. It could possibly be said that it's quality over quantity, as some of it, particularly the jokes, are extremely well filmed, and none of the jokes ever reaches critical mass. And all the horror grows organically from the story - none of it seems put in simply because the movie needed an extra scene at a certain point.When Dude Bro Party Massacre III is released at cinemas this summer, people would realize how good it is compared to the blockbuster summer fare we get these days. And all for 400k, which is hardly anything.My Final note is Bravo and Thank you for a truly superb film.
