            "Some great gore in this"

            — Dave C. (4/5)

            Fun horror comedy

            "This one started a little slow and I did not know what I was getting into, but it picked up the pace packed with dark humor and violence. Overall an entertaining horror comedy. Comes with a handful of extras including interview with the director and nifty artwork on the reversible slipcover."

            — Kresh R. (4/5)

            Murder Party

            "Really can't compliment this movie enough considering it's no doubt tight budget constraints. The last scrappy indie movie to come up with a smart concept and execute it this well was Blair Witch. Quite refreshing to see a low budget "genre" picture that's actually well-made and delivers the goods. Filmmakers were smart about locations (Brooklyn industrial areas) and using Halloween night in NYC as a backdrop. Very nicely shot, well-edited, but above all it's the acting that makes this movie stand out. Has both broad and subtle humor and it's a lot of fun. Expect creators behind this production to go on to do other bigger and better things."

            — Shane M. (5/5)

            Troma indebted scrappy filmmaking from a future great

            "It's got Macon Blair in it. That's all you need to know. But it's a joyful footnote if you enjoyed Jeremy Saulnier's later, gritter films. Funny, charming, and sick."

            — Matthew O. (5/5)

            Party on!

            "I dug it."

            — Kevin G. (5/5)

            Saulnier !

            "Happy to finally have this on disc. Good presentation."
