Review of Dude Bro Party Massacre III (2015)

Initial Thought: After seeing the first two Dude Bro Party Massacre films I knew I had to see this. It's about damn time too since I have been waiting for the whole of my 25 years of life for it. Aw who am I kidding this is not actually a sequel to anything it's a spoof of 80s splatter films. It looks completely ridiculous and that's how it should be. That's what really caught my interest for this one. It's going to be low budget and ridiculous on purpose. It kind of reminds me of the Toxic Avenger films in that regard. It's also from the creators of 5 Second Films.

Characters/Acting: Of course we have the stars from the popular Youtube series. There are even quite a few here from the popular Video Game High School series. We also have some pretty well known faces scattered about with Patton Oswalt, Nina Hartley, Larry King, and John Francis Daley. I think nearly everyone in this has been in at least one thing I've seen. The characters are all quite silly. I think that the actors really performed well at being over the top. I liked that the killer wasn't the typical male this time around. Samzy was probably my favorite character of all here.

Story: In the wake of two back-to-back mass murders on Chico's frat row, loner Brent Chirino must infiltrate the ranks of a popular fraternity to investigate his twin brother's murder at the hands of the serial killer known as "Motherface." The story sounds legit even with it being a spoof film. It starts off with an intentionally awful announcing about the film. It's extremely cheesy and jam packed with low budget effects. Yet somehow it just really entertains you this way. The gory deaths are actually somewhat creative. There were some however that were just a bit too silly. It's funny how some of the deaths aren't even by the killer's hands. Several moments of this throughout that I just couldn't help being amused by. There are some pretty effed up moments here. The ending didn't do much for me like the rest of the movie. There are two scenes during the credits that are somewhat amusing.

Directing/Writing: This is written and directed by the people who do the 5 Second Films series. All the writers/directors have roles throughout the film. There are three directors here all of whom write part of the script as well. Then with them there are seven other writers. I have never seen so many people credited for something that wasn't an anthology. Then again I'm sure it's because they are all part of the Youtube team.

Final Thought: This was completely off the wall ridiculous. I think they really captured the essence of horrible 80s films and turned it into something so hilariously enjoyable. It's off the wall and a bit gross throughout. It may not be for everyone though. If you have a strong stomach and don't mind some pretty out there jokes you may like this.
