Synopsis: What started out as a relaxing summer day by the pool for a group of high maintenance young socialites quickly becomes a nightmare when an unknown killer begins stalking and murdering them one by one.The Good: If you are a fan of 80's slasher movies, then this has everything you need. The flick has a plethora of gorgeous ladies, including a funny cameo by Leeanna Vamp. The are bare breasts and some really nice asses, which is a slasher staple. The slasher uses a variety of tools, which keeps things interesting and bloody. There's also a ton of humor in this flick. The cast have some great lines and I think Clay steals every scene he's in. The plot is simple enough, but has some nice twists and things to keep it fresh. The director, Drew Marvick, has a love of slashers and horror and it shows in this movie.
The Bad: While funny, most of the humor is crude and/or lewd. That being said, if you go into a movie called Pool Party Massacre and aren't expecting that, it's your bad, not the movies.
Final Thoughts: I saw a special screening of this last night in my hometown and I laughed my ass off. You can get learn more about the folks that made it and order your own copy from the Pool Party Massacre site. I ordered the blu-ray this morning. Another cool thing is that you can order a signed copy at no extra cost. You really should check this movie out if you like horror comedies or slasher flicks.
In Your Game: For those of you unfamiliar with this blog, it's mainly a tabletop gaming blog. When I do the October Horror Movie Challenge I like to include things that can be used in tabletop rpgs. Today was the release of my new game Slashers & Victims Light, which builds on material from Swords & Wizardry Light. Both are free. You just need the rules (which can be printed into nice little pamphlets), a six sided die, and a twenty sided die. Download Slashers & Victims Light here and Swords & Wizardry Light here.
AC 9 [10] HD: 4 Attacks: Tools (1d6-1) or Weedwacker (1d3+special) Move: 12 Special: 3 in 6 chance to Hide in Shadows/Move Silently
Weakness: This slasher is really really good at what he does, but ultimately he's a dude. Unlike supernatural slashers, he's just as susceptible to weapons (whether the be machetes or ball-gagged severed heads) as any other regular Joe.
New Weapon
Weedwacker
Damage: 1d3 + every time a target is hit by the weed wacker they must make a saving throw is be too distracted to react the next turn.
