Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film suffered severe cuts by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and as a result most of the murders occur off-camera and feature little to no gore or violence. Because of this, the filmmakers edited the film in such a way that the murders seem to happen immediately after each other in quick succession. When the film was originally shot, more time had passed between each murder, which included special effects and on-screen violence. Ironically, the promotional material released feature several shots of the excised deaths, including Pam (Deborah Hancock) getting skewered by a trident and Virgil (Jeff Pustil) with his hand chopped off.
- GoofsWhen April is walking around the abandoned snack bar in the cinema, the crew is reflected in the silver metal of the candy case, at the snack area.
- Alternate versionsPrior to release, MGM cut bloody details from almost every on-screen murder in the film. Just before its release American horror magazine Fangoria published photos of the numerous death scenes pruned from the final cut. These scenes have not been restored back into the film.

Featured review
This is a movie people will either love or hate. I have an infinity for 80's and some 90's horror. I think they are the building blocks of what people consider horror today.
Which there hasn't been in good horror flicks in a long time, if you don't count Insidious or The Conjuring. Even then those did not make the hair on my body raise.
But Killer Party did back when I was a kid. Not so much the atmosphere did but it was the character of Jennifer that did. What she did was give me nightmares at eight years old.
The three friends are easily the best characters and actors in the movie if you don't count Martin, who is the comic relief.
If anything watch for Jennifer and Martin.
It's a story you've probably heard somewhere else but what makes it different is how the story is set up. I just wish that there had been more background info on the evil itself.
I liked how the movie ended but there is no second party because the movie flopped. So there's no resolution. It's an open ended ending.
I did find out that there was suppose to more gore and scenes but had to re-edited and filmed due to the MPAA rating.
Give it a try if you like campy fun with a little hair raising.
