Synopsis

MURDER PARTY is a truly original horror movie: ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL meets THE BREAKFASTCLUB, with some gory surprises along the way. Gatecrashing this party will cost your life...

A bunch of art students decide to get together and throw a Murder Party. The catch: only one person is invited. The aim: to kill their "guest" in the name of art.

As the evening progresses and secrets are shared, drugs and alcohol consumed, sexualities explored and conflicts arise, what was meant to be a single murder ends up becoming a multitude.

On Halloween eve a mysterious invitation sweeping through the streets of New York City falls into the hands of ordinary traffic attendant Chris, inviting him to attend a Murder Party. When he turns up, he is soon restrained and gagged by a troop of aspiring artists, who intend to make him the subject of their twisted art. Unbeknown to him he will be brutally killed in the process of creating a 'masterpiece'.

The whole event has been set up in order to impress sinister art patron Alex who has promised a large sum of grant money to the artists with the best idea. As he arrives with his dead-eyed drug dealer henchman, he begins to up the stakes between the wannabe murderers by creating rivalry and playing dangerous games with them. The party unrolls and the artists are lead further away from their goals, the whole evening is plunged into chaos and the body count rises. Chris will have to use his wit and take advantage of their rivalry in order to escape the deadly warehouse - and survive the night.

Will you accept the invitation to the MURDER PARTY?
