“Plotu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFive live streaming serial killers compete against each other as they stalk and slash their way through a group of unsuspecting victims for the twisted pleasure of their dark web audience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCastu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot familiar with anybody involved thankfully, Deniella Alexis was the only one with any level of competence, every other person in front of that camera had no place being there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVerdictu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEach movie night both myself and my other half pick a movie, this was hers. Itu0026#39;s not that it looked interesting, itu0026#39;s just she knows Iu0026#39;ve seen everything so generally just goes with the first film she finds that she knows I havenu0026#39;t and that brought us Murderfest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow within seconds youu0026#39;ll notice the movie has a budget comparable with the cost of a Big Mac with small fries. Now to be clear Iu0026#39;m not elitist type who only likes high budget movies, but on the flipside I am a believer in if you donu0026#39;t have the budget to pull something off then you know, donu0026#39;t.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMurderfest falls under a sub-genre that myself and the other half like, I donu0026#39;t know what youu0026#39;d call it other than death game? Here we have an unoriginal streamed on the deep web event and someone thought it would be a good idea to film half the movie in the first person on poor quality shaking cameras that are positioned in such a way that you canu0026#39;t even see a kill taking place (Or maybe that was the intention).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is offensively bad, some of the voices from the killers are so over the top absurd it actually made me cringe. The kills are very poor, the lack of budget shows, the overall execution of the movie demonstrates that those behind the camera are equally bad.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMurderfest is one of the worst movies of the year, Iu0026#39;m glad the creator hasnu0026#39;t done much in his career, lowers the chance of me being tortured by another one of his awful films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRantsu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd here we go again, a movie shilled beyond belief. I was suspicious of the high rating so naturally jumped to the reviews and theyu0026#39;re all 9 or 10u0026#39;s, they all fawn over the film to ridiculous extents, they name drop the creators which is a blatant sign of shilling usually by the creator or their friends/family and many say absurd things. This is a great 80u0026#39;s slasher for example? How? Itu0026#39;s not set in the 80u0026#39;s, it doesnu0026#39;t have 80u0026#39;s style music, it doesnu0026#39;t have an 80u0026#39;s look. You donu0026#39;t stick a mask on a killer and say itu0026#39;s 80u0026#39;s! For crying out loud. Why shill? People can clearly tell which makes you look bad, furthermore you donu0026#39;t get to see what people really think. Wouldnu0026#39;t you be happier seeing a high rating for real not faked?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Goodu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDeniella Alexis was passable hereu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Badu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWeak killsnAwful actingnDreadful cinematographynPoorly constructed.”
