Here’s an except from a new article about South by Southwest written by Eric Kohn for the New York Press…

“Unremitting homesickness drove me to check out the riotous hipster spoof Murder Party, a terrifying and funny tale of psychopaths in Brooklyn. Although directed by Jeremy Saulnier, the movie (a big winner this past year at Slamdance) is a genuine collaborative effort of longtime New York friends who call themselves Lab of Madness. They’ve injected their script with simultaneously hilarious and morbid details. When considering what to do with their victim, one character suggests the group of murderers “staple a pancake to his face and throw him in front of the G train.” Somebody get these folks a distributor so New Yorkers can take their medicine.”

Hell yeah! Thanks, Eric!

Here’s a chillingly incisive review from another young scholar of film:

‘Ok honestly who wheres fucking cardboard while getting killed. A retard is who, same with the director. If you think this is going to sell I will puch you in the face I like sick movies and I give this 1,000 thumbs WAY down.’

Apparently uncertain that he had proven his thesis, this very same mastermind followed up with this scalpel-sharp salvo:

“1. Cardboard costume is the gheyest thing ever.
2. A cellphone on cover?
3. Guy pulling down pants in preview…. Sick. Not twisted but sick.
4. Would be good if had plot.
5. All look like guys on cocaine not killers.”

Now, my favorite is ”gheyest”…

But a close runner-up in the you’re-blowing-my-mind department is ‘A cellphone on cover?’

Let’s all sing now, shall we? “I belieeeve that chillldren are the future…”
