Watch Dude Bro Party Massacre III For Free

As Good As It Gets

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I enjoy many online entertainers. From The Cinema Snob to Red Letter Media, there's a lot of people who make great content online. One of my favorites is 5 Second Films. They are a group of people based in Los Angeles who make short films that are only five seconds long. They had a new film every weekday for five years and during the fifth year, they launched a Kickstarter to make a feature length film called Dude Bro Party Massacre III, based on one of their short films. They needed $200,000 and they got $240,000. So they got to make their dream project and just a little over two years after the Kickstarter was launched, it's finally out. I've been a fan of 5 Second Films since 2011, when I discovered them through Patton Oswalt on twitter. I immediately loved their bizarre, twisted and sometimes dark sense of humor. I'm really impressed how funny their shorts can be in just 5 seconds. So to see what they can do with a feature film is very exciting. Dude Bro Party Massacre III is a tribute to 80s slasher flicks that many of the 5SF members loved when they were teenagers. The reason they decided to make the third film in the series is because that's usually the film in this genre where things get really bizarre and insane. The nonexistent first two films are recapped in the first five minutes of this movie. After Brock (Alec Owen) is killed by Motherface (Olivia Taylor Durdley), his twin brother Brent (Owen, again) must investigate his murder and gain the trust of the Delta Bi Theta fraternity that Brock was a part of. After the Deltas' senior prank goes horribly wrong, they must stay at the Old Sorority House by the lake. A plan is then set in motion by the police chief (Patton Oswalt), who is also a cult member, for Motherface to murder the Deltas.Not only does this movie prove that 5 Second Films is absolutely capable of making full length movies, but I think they've made a comedy that puts many modern Hollywood comedies to shame. This film had me in tears twice, both times involving Brian Firenzi's Officer Sminkle, and provided lots of other great laughs throughout the whole film. 5 Second Films used every bit of their Kickstarter funds wisely and have crafted one of the best comedies of this decade so far. The direction, the writing, the acting, the practical effects, etc., it's all great. The humor is so detailed and well written, that there may have been some jokes or visual gags I may have missed. The film is full of insanely weird twists that are all hilarious. There's a line early on in the film that is funny on its own, but when it actually has payoff at the end, it's kind of genius. This is a fantastic tribute to 80s slasher movies as well. The practical gore effects are excellent and the movie does a perfect job of capturing that 80s horror movie feel. I enjoy that this movie has the gender reversal where the boys are sexually objectified and terrorized instead of the girls.The level of detail is fantastic. What they were able to do in their shorts, is amplified in this movie. The movie is made to look like it was a midnight movie recorded off a VCR and is the single remaining copy of the film. The movie has brief commercial breaks that are little short films of their own. They're very funny and don't interrupt the flow of the actual feature.The cast is great. Alec Owen is a great lead as Brent. The Delta Bi members are all very funny and they bring a distinct personality to each of their characters. Paul Prado, in particular as Turbeaux, steals a lot of the scenes he's in. The character I enjoyed the most was Officer Sminkle played by 5 Second Films creator, Brian Firenzi. Like I mentioned earlier, there were scenes with him that had me in tears, I was laughing so hard. He and his girlfriend, Maria Del Carmen, share their scenes together and they play off of each other very well. She plays Sminkle's partner and she covers up her English accent very well. Olivia Taylor Durdley is really good as Motherface. She's kind of a typical killer, but she plays it well. Kelsey Gunn is also really funny as one of the Delta Bi member's girlfriend, Samantha.There are some great cameos as well. Patton Oswalt is great as the chief, Greg Sestero and Andrew WK play Delta Bi members and even Larry King shows up in the opening recap.Dude Bro Party Massacre III is one of my favorite comedies of this decade. 5 Second Films has proved that they can make feature length films with the amount of detail and care that they've put into this film. If you enjoy bizarre, twisted humor and fun throwbacks to 80s slasher movies, then I highly recommend this film.

The issue I believe that Dude Bro Party Massacre III (DBPM3) holds is that it is entirely based off of a short sketch by the comedy troupe that made the film. In the sketch, which true to the troupe's name is only 5 seconds long, it basically shows a montage cheesy gore practical effects and murders in an homage to 80's slasher flicks. This isn't meant to be a slasher flick, this is supposed to be a parody of the genre. The plot itself, like the 3rd movie in a cheap slasher franchise is rather goofy when watched without context. However with context you can start to make comparisons to later franchise sequels where they've run out of plot devices and they have to get crazy and lazy to pump out something of a coherent script. When it comes to visual effects however, this movie is your deal. It has plenty of gore. Unreal amounts of blood, nasty organs, and plenty of murders. True to the movie's name there is quite the Massacre and the kills just keep coming in increasingly innovative and purposefully ironic ways. 5 Second Films, the group who made the sketch and the movie is really a comedy-centric cluster of people. The acting on many accounts is above par, especially when it comes to delivering absurd lines or doing crazy actions. When you watch DBPM3, you need to enter it expecting something goofy and cheesy.If you're a fan of 5 Second Films, you probably crowdfunded it so you already like it, but if you didn't you need to watch this. They managed to take one of their surreal sketches and flesh it out into a 90 minute gore-fest as an homage and satire of 80s B-list slasher films.For excellent effects, satire, acting, and ambition, I give it a solid 10. Especially so, as a movie should not be gimped purely on the fact that you do not understand it's source material and it's true intention.

Full disclosure: I've been a fan of 5SF for years and even bought tickets to the world premiere at the LA Film fest so I'm probably a fanboy.There are a plethora of horror comedies out there, and many self aware entries into the genre will poke fun at their own tropes, but never before like this. The best summary of DBPM3 I could give would be Friday the 13th mixed with Airplane mixed with the volleyball scene from Top Gun. The film has one of the highest jokes per minute rate of any I've ever seen: any duds or misses are swiftly forgotten when another joke is laid out less than 10 seconds later. It grabs a hold of your funny bone and mercilessly throttles it, I felt physically exhausted by the end.Even though it is a satire of 80's slashers, most of the jokes are timeless, and don't require extensive knowledge of the genre/time period to understand (and good thing too, I imagine the target audience was still in diapers during the 80's). It attempts to recreate the poor quality film making of low budget slashers, and largely succeeds, to the point where I couldn't tell which mistakes were intentional (i imagine most of them) The only stumbling block for me was the side plot involving Officer Sminkle. Although funny at times, it seemed to drag on, and was only tangentially related to the plot. For me it never seemed to join cohesively with the action at the frat.My advice? Get a group of friends and a case of beer before viewing this movie. It is strong on its own merits, but seems to have been created with group viewing in mind.

Let me just start out by saying, I'm an avid Horror movie fan and also I have a major love for comedy. Dude Bro Party Massacre III was everything I hoped it would be and more. Witty, Smart, Weird, Gory, Hysterical, and just about everything in between.It's more then just an 80's slasher spoof as well. DBPM3 has multiple layers and so many things going on. It's one of those films you could watch again and again, and still find new things to laugh at. I especially loved the UHF style commercials, and the copied straight from VHS look and feel. All the writers and the directors outdid themselves! The acting and the cast are just as awesome. I just wanted to give a special shout out to Paul Prado as Turbeaux. That character is truly something special. He definitely will go down in the Frat Dude hall of fame with that one! Long story short, If you're a comedy fan and or a horror movie fan you will love this to death! I read in some other reviews online that said Dude Bro Party Massacre III is to 80's Slasher flicks, as Wet Hot American Summer is to teen camp movies. 2 totally different films, but the spirit is definitely there.Congrats to everyone involved! It's an awesome flick!
