This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Okay, I'll admit trying to balance any movie with both horror and comedy is no easy task. Everyone wants to make the new Shaun of the Dead it seems.Killer Party had a nice premise, baby shower with Hollywood guests who mostly seem self absorbed and not in touch in the real world, suddenly throw into a zombie attack. Problem one was that there was entirely too many people to try and get a grasp on. Should of stayed more focused on Mary ( the mom to be ), her hubby and another couple. Problem two was the decision NOT to show any violence. Every attack scene was either never shown, quickly cut away from, or when Mary gets attacked to show it all from behind a window curtain.. Very strange decisions. In fact, Its a film that could very easily be seen on Lifetime. It's not a terrible film, just one quickly forgotten. Rachael Drummond who played Mary is a very talented actress with a good comedic sense. I do hope to see more of her down the road.

At first after watching the trailer I though that this movie might be funny, one of those gems of dark comedy that come every once in a blue moon. I was horribly mistaken, this film is about as funny as drying paint, which is a gracious comment considering how I would have rather watched drying paint. The film was a horrible muddle of poor acting, weak humor, and horrible filming. Though I must admit that 'spoiler alert' the zombies in this film were interesting in the fact that they could talk, this opportunity to possibly add any real comedy or horror to the film was grossly under used. Even in terms of movies that are so bad there good, this movie would still be bad, be it the convoluted and boring plot, the cliché ending, or the monotone of the actors, this film was a major let down and a waist of my time and interest.

I had the good luck of seeing The Shower (now Killer Party) at a horror convention, and I loved it, so much so, that when it was playing at another convention I was at, I made sure to see it again. The film is about a group of friends who come together for a baby shower, during which an outbreak occurs, leading to great horror and humor. You get to know the characters and relationships well before they are all drawn into the mayhem that ensues around them, which was very nice to see. Each character has memorable moments, and I enjoyed watching them fight, argue, and work together. To me, Killer Party was a fun ride of a horror film, and I recommend checking it out.

So, let me get this out of the way first...a lot of great reviews for small, independent films, end up being composed by the friends and family of the director, producer, or various members of the cast. This is not that kind of review. Out of about 50 shorts and features playing at the 2015 New York Horror Show, my horror-loving best friend chose to see this one, and one other. Little did he know, The Shower turned out to take top awards at the festival--and boy, did it deserve it. The other film, not so much. First off, great cast...which is an anomaly for films of this size and budget. The fact that the plot revolves around a bunch of actors in various stages of success may have made the roles easier to play, but that shouldn't take anything away from their convincing (and super funny) performances. The Shower is about a group of L.A. friends attending a baby shower, when all hell breaks loose, and a virus turns mild-mannered folk into homicidal maniacs.If you love films that make you giggle one minute, and gasp the next, you'll have a great time at The Shower. From a killer clown to a little girl who deserves a serious time out, anyone can turn, at any time, which keeps the tension turned up nicely throughout. You'll love the characters you're supposed to love, and hate the ones you'll not miss once they get what's coming to them.As far as tone goes, you have a little bit of pulpy goodness, served up Tarantino-style, with heavy doses of Shaun Of The Dead wackiness and humor. With that, I urge everyone who likes either or both to seek out The Shower. Aside from really enjoying the film, the thing that made it even more special was getting the chance to meet the writer/director, Alex Drummond. Alex was there during the showing of his film at Horror Fest, then stuck around afterward to answer questions.Roughly 85% of the audience seemed to be friends, family, and extras from the film, so we could really tell how appreciative he was we chose to see his movie, with so many other movies available for viewing. He was funny, charming, gracious and affable, and answered all of our questions both during he Q&A, and afterward at the hotel bar. Oh, and he has dimples for days, but I would swear on a stack of bibles that had no bearing on my appreciation for the funny, twisted, scary slice of horror he served up with The Shower.Not sure where you can see it, or when or how it will be released, but you can contact the Shower folks, and check out the trailer, at theshowerthemovie.com
