Slasher Party (2019)

Slasher Party is the kind of gleefully self-aware slasher that knows exactly how ridiculous its Hollywood Hills influencer playground looks—and it leans in until the whole thing becomes wickedly fun. The vibe is trashy in the best midnight-movie way: loud, crass, and unapologetically entertained with its own bad behavior, while still delivering the tense, “who’s next?” momentum you came for. If you like your horror with a sharp comedic wink and a cast of beautiful people making terrible choices under neon-lit excess, this one goes down easy and keeps the energy high. It’s not for viewers craving elevated dread or subtlety, but for anyone in the mood for a hilariously messy slasher romp, it’s a party worth crashing.

Slasher Party is clearly aiming for a mean-spirited, modern “influencers get what’s coming” horror romp set in a glossy Hollywood Hills night, and on paper that setup could’ve been deliciously nasty fun. In practice, it plays like a stretched-out sketch: thin characters, awkward performances, and writing that pads the runtime with a lot of waiting around instead of building tension or delivering memorable scares. If you’re hoping for clever satire, inventive kills, or even a reliably trashy slasher pace, this one may feel generic and oddly confusing for such a simple premise. The main appeal is the premise itself and the occasional “so-bad-it’s-kinda-funny” vibe, but unless you’re extremely forgiving or watching ironically with friends, it’s likely to test your patience.
