Watch Monster Party

Monster Party is a 2018 horror-thriller movie directed by Chris von Hoffmann, starring Sam Strike, Virginia Gardner and Brandon Micheal Hall. The movie revolves around three young robbers, Casper, Iris, and Dodge (played by Sam Strike, Virginia Gardner, and Brandon Micheal Hall respectively) who get hired to rob a rich family's mansion. The three of them are desperate for money and are apprehensive about the job, but they decide to go ahead with it anyway.

During their planning, they learn that the mansion belongs to the Dawsons, a wealthy family who throw lavish parties for their high-society guests. When they arrive at the mansion, they discover that the Dawson's have also invited a group of recovering addicts for their daughter's "monster party" therapy session.

As the party progresses, the three robbers realize that they are in way over their heads. The guests begin revealing their darkest secrets, and the situation takes a deadly turn as they discover that the Dawsons are not the simple wealthy family they appeared to be.

The movie explores themes of addiction, privilege, and family dynamics. The characters are all struggling with their own demons, and as the night progresses, they begin to unravel in more ways than one.

The performances by the lead actors are impressive, particularly Virginia Gardner as Iris, who delivers a nuanced and emotionally charged performance. Sam Strike as Casper brings vulnerability and depth to his character, and Brandon Micheal Hall delivers a good performance as Dodge, adding some much-needed humor to the tense situation.

The setting of the movie also adds to its overall unnerving atmosphere. The mansion is ornately decorated, and the guests are dressed in expensive costumes, which contrasts with the darker themes of the movie. The cinematography is top-notch, utilizing wide shots to show the grandeur of the mansion and close-ups to emphasize the emotions of the characters.

The movie's pacing is fast, and the tension builds from the very beginning. The first half of the movie is relatively slow as the characters are introduced, but it picks up quickly once the party starts. The second half of the movie is a non-stop thrill ride, and the ending leaves viewers on the edge of their seats.

Overall, Monster Party is a well-crafted horror-thriller movie that combines elements of dark humor, suspense, and social commentary. While it may not be for everyone, fans of the genre will appreciate its unique blend of horror and social commentary.

Monster Party is a 2018 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.5 and a MetaScore of 58.
