Von Hoffman brings some admirable oomph, as well as a good understanding of the many ways that criminals - both poor and rich - exert dominance.

Gleefully gory and darkly funny, Monster Party is the sort of extreme genre exercise that separates real fans from mere dilettantes.

Pretty effective and rather fun, if you have the stomach for this sort of thing.

Rated: 3.5/5

Monster Party is a fun, gloriously gory romp into the fetishes and entitlement of the upper crust.

While Monster Party seems to want to come off as something else than a horror movie at the start, but once it gets fully into horror territory, it becomes really fun and full of insanity.

Rated: 4/5

Goddamn, I love this deranged world that Chris von Hoffmann has created. It's crazy, violent, a bit shocking, and a lot of fun.

Monster Party sets up with a really fun premise: three small-time con artist thieves decide to rob a fancy dinner party, only to discover they picked the absolute wrong people to mess with. What should’ve been a simple heist spirals into complete chaos, and on paper, that idea sounds like it could’ve been a blast. The problem is the execution. The script had flashes of potential, but it never really dug deep enough to feel impactful. Instead, it landed in this weird middle ground—watchable, but not nearly as wild or sharp as the concept deserved. The casting didn’t help much either. Most of the actors were unfamiliar, and while some delivered okay performances, others felt like they were drowning in the material. That uneven acting dragged the movie down and made the already shaky script feel even more awkward. The director tried to weave the story together, but a lot of things felt off—whether it was the writing, pacing, or character choices. It often seemed like pieces of the movie didn’t quite fit with each other, leaving the final product unbalanced. That said, there are moments of enjoyment buried in there. Certain sequences work, and the overall idea is strong enough to at least keep your attention for a first viewing. But beyond that, I can’t really see myself revisiting it or recommending it. Verdict: Monster Party had all the ingredients for a fun, bloody good time, but poor execution and uneven casting kept it from delivering on its potential. A one-and-done watch at best.

I genuinely really enjoyed it! Yea the story is bizarre and the gore doesn't look very real, but honestly the script and filming is really want makes this an enjoyable experience for me. I'd recommend it if you want a cool time killer. 😌

I had a very long breakdown of why this film is so bad, then I realized it's just not worth it. Instead here's a review worthy of this film. Film bad.
