Murder Party (2007)

Great flick for terror lovers with a "different" humor

[10/10 · 16 July 2015]

Murder Party comes to my attention by the Nostalgia Critic in one of his videos, which I find weird because he don't talk about indie ever, that make me think maybe this movie was that movie we all find at 3 a.m. in some obscure corner of TV and just give it a chance, pretty much what happened to me with "Stitches" another dark comedy I really recommend. Well, about Murder Party, I really love the subtle humor in it, they have this extravagant characters and they know how to use them. I personally love the Werewolf guy, he is patetic yet very human and his performance is just great.

And the victim(Chris Sharp), plays like the perfect nerd who have no friends, you pity him but he seen fine with his life. There is just one thing... he acts too calm all the movie(except the chase and climax scene), these people are trying to kill him yet he look relaxed. Well that was odd to me till the end when they show you why(it need a pause and a little google search). Finally the effects... what can I say? They are sometimes great(werewolf mask), some times hilariously B or old school(like literally cutting from the victim to the murder and showing just the blood splashing on him). Great movie, give it a chance. Just like Stitches it pays tribute to terror movies and have a not-Hollywood humor that is really refreshing.

Dibu: The Movie (1997)

Just a random guy who enjoys movies.

This movie is based on a TV series aired in Argentina(yeah that southamerican country). The protagonist of the story is a kid which happen to be a Cartoon, he have cartoon powers and is somehow lovable. The rest of his family are normal "real" people and have to deal with this strange situation. The cast is the same the TV series had and I think they made a good job. Overall it's a good kids movie. Maybe somethings can be strange to foreign viewers, but the as a kid movie it's really basic in it's humor. It have if flaws but can be really heart warming sometimes. For the time it came out has descent effects. Give it a chance you can find yourself enjoying it.
