I watched this film, thoroughly enjoyed it and laughed myself to death. I watched it again, and again, and felt clever and silly, and laughed a fresh laugh again: maybe because this little piece of art, of heart, is the work of people who won't stop their creativity for the sake of elegance or film-making. The film endorses its parodied genre to full extent, therefore I don't see anyone without an appeal for slasher movies go through it all. On the other hand, not much knowledge is required to appreciate the dismembering of all the tried and true clichés. Overall a highly enjoyable movie, with no real downside, and quite diverse despite being a revisitation of films that are originally quite monotone. Recommended to all the breathing people.

Dudebro is a blatant farce on found footage movies, on straight-to-TV flicks, on horror tropes, etc.If anyone has seen the shorts made by 5SecondMovies, the company behind this production, they'll know that all the stupid, often terribly executed effects and plot devices are intentional.It's a chance to revel in the mediocrity of it all, a chance to sit back and laugh at the actors and the genres the film represents as a whole. It's very self aware, and all-the-more moving in it's desire to be nothing more than fun and fancy-free. Something Hollywood should be more willing to capitalize on in an age where cynicism has become a cruise control to cool.

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.

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!
