It's refreshing to come across somebody's debut film, especially one as crazy and energetic as Murder Party.
In the first few scenes it seemed like a by-product of a film student's education. Slow build, some dead space here and there, but enough subtle charm. Then our protagonist reaches the titular murder party.
From then on, it's a bit of a madhouse. We watch the strange and transfixing hijinks of a colourful cast of characters. They've got some fascinating dynamics to watch, even if some of them go nowhere.
While this movie lacks polish, it makes up for that with its passion and spirit. Its small scale helps focus on its core; its characters and the emotional impact of their journey. These are factors many big-budget films miss the mark on.
To summarize: Murder Party is an odd-ball, entertaining ride that will lock you in for the full run time. It's a bit amateurish in some ways, but that doesn't get in the way. This one's a Good.
