Three thieves plan a daring heist posing as waiters at a fancy Malibu mansion dinner party in hopes of paying off an urgent debt. When their plan goes horribly wrong, the trio realises the dinner guests are not as innocent as they seem and their simple cash grab becomes a violent and desperate battle to get out of the house alive…
“Chris von Hoffman’s storytelling is both entertaining and intense,” said co-producer Jesse Berger. “It has been an incredible experience working with the creative team to bring this rollercoaster ride of a film to life.”
Reviews:
“Monster Party has a morbid energy that keeps you interested despite all of its problems. Unfortunately, this is a horror film without interesting characters or satisfying kills which makes for a very dull experience. Do not accept this party invitation.” Bloody Disgusting
“While I hated the characters immensely, I do have to give writer/director Chris Von Hoffmann props for creating a script that’s original, complex, gory and capable of pulling emotions from the audience – even if it’s not the right emotions.” Horror Society
