Killer Party Audience Reviews

Lawbolisted Powerful
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
SnoopyStyle Vivia, Jennifer, and Phoebe are best friends who decide to join a sorority. The sorority is near a boarded-up former frat house where a killer roams. Guys release a jar of bees to drive naked sorority girls out of the hot tub and film them running around naked. The pledges are required to say "I myself prefer a big fat cucumber" which gets them kicked out of Professor Zito's class. Weirdo Martin starts hanging out with the girls. During initiation, Vivia plays a prank on everybody. All three are accepted into the sorority mainly so that Vivia can set up the coming April Fool's party in the old frat house.The movie starts with two fake-outs and the low grade horror begins. It does some T&A. The horror is horribly slow. Sometimes, I wonder if this is meant to be camp especially with Paul Bartel in the movie. It's definitely not funny with its jokes. It takes awhile but it finally becomes a-killer-in-the-house movie. Even then, it's badly done. None of it is good.
RKO401 Please bear with me. I think this is my first review on here, and it may contain spoilers. Given that this is an 80s horror film, I would recommend it for an horror fan, especially if the fan likes 80s horror movies. Of course there is some cheesiness and perhaps some plot-holes and irregularities, but the viewer can empathize with the victims in this film and genuinely care who lives and dies, unlike many horror films that have been cranked out since the 2000s. The ending is definitely unforgettable and will give you the willies. The song at the end of the film is ironically an upbeat "These are the best times of our lives," sang by an all girl group, paralleling the all girl core cast. A night that was supposed to be one of the best nights of their lives obviously was not! That is what makes "Killer Party" a gem of its own. It shows how innocent pranks can quickly turn into irreversible nightmares, if one is not careful to follow their instincts and learn from the past. It would be nice to see a modernized remake of this film that stays true to the story and removes the flaws. It is a good basic premise and is indeed a Killer Party with some April Fools.
Woodyanders Undoubtedly the most uproariously ridiculous of the popular 80's kill-the-collegians slasher movies, a cool little slice'n'dice sub-genre which includes such gnarly gems as "The Dorm That Dripped Blood," "The House on Sorority Row," "Girls Nite Out," "The Initiation," and "Sorority House Massacre." This one's wafer-thin plot is about a gala April Fool's Day bash held in a haunted house which turns sour when a psychotic lunatic in a deep-sea diving suit (yes, you read that correctly) starts to pick off moronic college students in assorted grisly ways (the guillotine decapitation qualifies as the definite splatter highlight). WARNING: Possible *SPOILERS* ahead. At very end of this gut-busting howler the killer is revealed to be the vengeful ghost of a college pledge who was accidentally killed twenty years ago! With its great deadpan direction by veteran Canadian schlock horror director William Fruet (who next gave us the lively big killer bug riot "Blue Monkey"), absurd plot, charmingly goofy characters, slick photography, funky score, a scene-stealingly geeky performance by Ralph Seymour (one of the imperiled campers in the superior sylvan slaughterfest "Just Before Dawn") as nutty campus nerd Martin, and a funny cameo by the ever droll Paul Bartel as uptight English Professor Zito, this sublimely silly affair overall sizes up as a delightfully dopey dilly.
drhackenstine Wanna movie that rips-off the Porky's rip-offs of the mid '80's? How about a Friday The 13th rip-off that rips-off those rip-offs, and then let's throw in that '70's possession thingy where the woman crawls on walls and talks like the singer from Cannibal Corpse sings. Ya like all that? Then here's your movie. This movie took all those clichés and wrapped them all into one. I don't think that was intentional. It was filmed in '84 and released in '86. Somewhere, things went bad for this movie, and to get it released, obviously, other scenes were shot, the story was changed, and now nothing adds up. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this is how they filmed it. But still, there are three (oh yeah, three)false starts to the movie, each one dumber than the last one (the third being a glam rock music video). Then the movie is a tame Animal House rip-off, then we get completely bloodless slasher killings, then the demonic showdown. The bloodless slasher killings and demonic showdown are in the last 17 minutes. This movie just leaves you bewildered. If your a slasher fan, you are let down, if your a monster fan, your let down. There is no blood in this film, even though the body count goes down at a steady clip for about eight minutes near the end. People die quick, but it's all off-screen. If there wasn't the gratuitous nudity in the beginning, this would easily be rated PG-13, even by todays tame standards. I remember seeing this on TBS over a decade ago on Saturday afternoons. Watching it uncut the other night, I realized TBS didn't cut any of the violence out. Just them boobies. A tame affair that should be over-looked by the '80's horror fan. One and a half stars.
