turd movie

I'm sorry you thought the film was a turd. We'll try better next time. Just out of curiosity, what were some films you DID enjoy this year?

-Jeremy S (directurd of MURDER PARTY)

Well I might as well click "ignore this user" because I couldn't disagree with you more. I loved this film.

wow, I didn't really like the movie but I'm not going to come out like a jackass and call it a turd movie. I have respect for the people behind it and what they accomplished. It had some good parts that are commendable.

Besides other than the prestige and pans labyrinth you listed some terrible movies. How did you even stumble across this movie? Seems like you're only into mainstream type stuff.

This movie is a real time waster. It has decent production values & a
few OK performances (the lead victim & the photographer) but it is
undermined by a truly awful performance by the art "patron" & a
ludicrous script. The film has a "Hee Haw" attitude towards the
Brooklyn art scene & seems like something a clueless old fart would've
written for a skit on the "Sonny & Cher Show" back in the 1970s. The
irony here is that if the writer & director were better artists they
may have pulled this off. Instead it's a stale comedy that isn't funny
& a horror/thriller that isn't suspenseful. Even the soundtrack is a
joke--what self respecting NYC artist listens to speed metal?

This was a fun movie, I really enjoyed some of the characters. I love your attempt at criticism: 'Turd Movie'. Very constructive.

For a low-budget movie, I thought it was good... although, i wasn't entertained and often found myself just wanting to fastforward to the end to get it over with. I think if I were a friend of one of you guys, I might have laughed where laughs were expected... There just wasn't any character development, no real story and no reason to care about any of the characters... I think the only character I liked was Sky but you killed her off so quick.. I give credit though - that most of the movie was done on one set - so props to the Directurd for that. Oh, I guess the end - where the chainsaw came into play, that was clever.

First of all I know a number of small movie directors and actors that do get into commenting on IMDB, especially in their own movies. so I would be inclined to believe that the director really did comment here, and I know how much you guys (creators of the film) care about a work as well done as Murder Party. Among the community of Amateur filmmakers. Id say that your work is NOT amateur at all and stands head and shoulders above them. Its creative work like Murder Party that makes me really enjoy scouring the internet for news about obscure movies. Murder Party I read about on Fangoria I believe. Same with Satan's Little Helper, another very smart Gem of a B-Movie. The movies that the OP posted here are not even of the same genre of movie that this is. If you named something like Happiness or Behind The Mask, or even Freddy vs Jason. Those would be appropriately smart responses, but you responded rather ignorantly naming big hollywood films that aren't arent at all comedies. Things like Pan's Labyrinth, the Prestige, 1408. All multi-million dollar films. So I guess you didnt really like any Independent films, or B-Movies over the year and therefore probably a bit biased against low budget films. So of course your going to hate anything remotely like Murder Party, even though it is far superior amoung its rank of films.
And Im so happy that I have the choice of seeing these kinds of movies outside of the million dollar film spectrum, which is so prone to formula and business models to fit "demographics" that they often fail because of their shallow $ aspirations.
If the cast of Murder Party are much like many of the film people I know, they probably all worked for free, And will make; if any money at all, off the sales of the DVD, that is if the publisher doesn't steel most all of those profits. Which they are inclined to rip off the small filmmakers more often than not, and leave them with penny's on the dollar.

There's real tallent here though in every aspect, writing, cinematography, sound design, editing, and acting. We can only expect to see great things from them in the future just by them continueing on. Great work!

have to agree, though i do think it was shot very well (very interesting to learn that it was shot in SD). i found Blood Car to be superior to this in every way, definitely my vote for top indie horror film of 2007.

actually the only reason i watched this is because the director of Blood Car said he liked it in an interview. ;)
