By-TorX-1 Review of Bus Party to Hell

Bus Party to Hell (2017)

Fairly Terrible, But The Last 25 Minutes Redeems It, Sort Of.

[4/10 · 21 March 2021]

Party Bus to Hell doesn't set the bar high from the beginning, but there are some amusing moments. While much of the narrative is pretty static (cult members just standing around the seemingly impregnable party bus and gently rocking it on occasion) the last 25 minutes do gel into a passable horror romp and the film wisely keeps all of the best characters around for the finale. The comedy isn't very funny and if the film had played it straight, it could have been a decent Wrong Turn-style tale, but it is tonally all over the place. As for the top-billed Tara Reid, she is barely in the film and her sequences at the beginning make no sense at all in the overall scheme of things. Indeed, her parts play out as if this was a recorded film and the last five minutes of a previous horror film were included as the antics of ninja mummies and flying undead heads has no connection with the devil-cult happenings and doings and the demon larks of the main plot whatsoever. So, Party Bus to Hell has some decent moments, but not many, and it is probably not really worth the fare in the long run.
