The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Invitation Only (2009)

AKA: Je Ming Pai Dui

Starring: Juliann Chu, Maria Ozawa, Bryant Chang
Director: Kevin Ko

Premise:
Five people receive an invitation to a party, only to realize they are to be hunted, tortured, and killed for the amusement of the party guests.

My Take:
Billed as "Tawain's first slasher", the movie missed most of the trademark items found in slashers. It's much closer in style to the term I hate, "torture porn". There's a lot blood flying and decent gore gags, but ultimately I really didn't care about these people who were being hunted or those hunting them.
