The greatest movie ever made..!
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

A video bought in a pound shop (about a dollar fifty) should always be judged along the lines of "you get what you pay for" and so it proved with Bachelor Party Massacre. The title, along with the tag line "Pray You Are Not Invited!" were fair indications of the slasher genre within. The pre-credit sequence continued in this vein with the first of many victims meeting a predictably gory end at the hands of 'The Killer'. The setting, standing in for the old haunted house, is a large recently vacated roadside drinking establishment with multiple bars, floors and, as befits such filmic scenery, plenty of dark corridors and mysterious rooms. Our heroes and heroines consist of four young men on a bachelor party, the two 'exotic dancers' they have hired and, in a later development, the partners of two of the men. Whilst the plot is perfunctorily familiar, tension is dissipated by the overuse of humorous dialogue. There is a very thin line between injecting moments of humour into a horror film in order to break the tension and actually turning the film into a parody of itself. This film comes dangerously close to crossing that line. Special effects, presumably constrained by budget, are quite acceptable whilst not being exceptional and credit must go to the editor for keeping the whole project down to a Hitchcockian hour and a half. The overall impression was of a flawed but certainly professional offering which punches slightly above its weight. The questioning of Bay Bruner's acting ability in other reviews may be fair although it would be difficult to come to such a conclusion based on one film . In her defence, I would say that the risible dialogue would probably have hindered her. There were certainly moments when the camera caught her in such a way as to make her by far the most interesting character.
View MoreThe very cover of this film is enough to put you off, but against all odds Bachelor Party Massacre wasn't too bad at all. It wasn't too good either, but it didn't quite descend into suicide inducing drudgery like a lot of slasher films.You know the plot even if you haven't seen the film. Four guys head off for a stag-do at an empty bar, and hire some strippers. Wife to be and sister-in-law also head off to spoil the fun, and there's an escaped lunatic killing folks. That's the plot. Rather than have trendy, know-it-all dialogue, the victims here are rather portrayed as pathetic losers from the get go, so that helps the film, as does the banter, which is a bit better than usual. The killer however is crap, and spouts one liners almost as bad as those in Psycho Cop. It all moves along fairly quickly though, and I like the stripper who's only defence is to strip for the killer. You're not missing much by this film.
View MoreA group of guys travel to a deserted bar in the mountains where they plan to spend a night of alcohol-fuelled debauchery to celebrate the impending nuptials of pal Addison. Their evening of excess booze and sexy strippers is ruined, however, when an escaped female psycho-killer interrupts the fun and gets busy with a selection of sharp implements.Bachelor Party Massacre is a cheapie slasher that attempts to mix scares, laughs, and sexiness in equal measures: with its remote locale, a deranged escaped lunatic, a collection of horny idiots ripe for the slaughter, and a couple of tasty lap-dancers who'll do anything for money, it certainly has many of the elements necessary for an enjoyably brainless piece of trashy horror fun. Unfortunately, despite having most of the right ingredients and loads of enthusiasm from nearly all involved, the film fails to transcend its low-budget amateur origins: shoddy production values, the wafer thin plot, unconvincing performances (particularly from Bay Bruner as the killer) and a lack of decent gore all go to make this one a less than impressive addition to an already overcrowded sub-genre.The film works best when it's going for laughs or cheap titillation rather than scares, and the first half features plenty of fairly witty dialogue (the delivery isn't always great, but I appreciate the effort) and several steamy scenes featuring loads of bare female flesh (once again, much appreciated). Once the killing moves to the fore, however, Bachelor Party Massacre loses nearly all of its sense of fun, and turns into a dreary, routine, by-the-numbers body-count flick.
View MoreMake no mistake about it, any film called Bachelor Party Massacre is going be naff, but, surprisingly, it's not as crud as it probably should be. The title tells you all you need to know: four buddies gather in an abandoned bar to celebrate their friend Addison's last few days as single. They drink, order pizza, letch after some strippers and get stalked n' slashed by a poncho-clad schizo woman who is nothing more than your common-or-garden asylum escapee.There's plenty of topless girls on show, fleshed out lapdancing sequences and watery blood-flowage. The effects budget obviously hindered some of the creativity and so a lot of the murders are off-screen or skewered by strange camera angles; one girl gets a stiletto in the head and a guy has a knife shoved in the worst possible place.As a collector and general advocate of slasher films - this was the 416th I've seen by my count - I'll watch almost anything like this. Some suck, some are pretty good. I'd slot BPM towards the bottom of the stack, but it's not downright awful as, say, Carnage Road or The Slaughterhouse Massacre, which are almost entirely devoid of merit.
