The other day, a strange thing hit the internet, the trailer
for a movie called Dude Bro Party Massacre 3. It’s a
bizarre, campy send up of low-to-no-budget slashers, and has some weirdly
well-known faces in small roles, like Patton Oswalt, Andrew W.K., John Frances
Daley, and Larry King. Yes, Larry King. Now, just a few days later, these
lunatics are back with a brand new red band trailer for you to check out.
Granted, there’s not much—blood, gore, nudity wise—that
differentiates this from the previous trailer, as all of those elements are
prominently featured in the first video. However, while that was a manic,
near-seizure-inducing explosion of horror and tongue in cheek humor, this one,
while still retaining that energy, gives you a much better idea of the overall
movie.
The malformed brainchild of the warped minds behind 5 Second
Films—who deliver 5-second comedy sketches that are way more entertaining than
you might expect from such short snippets—Dude Bro Party Massacre
3 is framed as the lost last installment of an awesomely cheesy and
gory slasher franchise from the 1980s. Don’t worry, you didn’t actually miss
out on parts one and two, though I would watch the crap out of them if they
were. The filmmakers did manage to transcend their rather limited self-imposed
time constraints, and the result looks kind of perfect.
The basic premise is that there’s a serial killer with the
wonderful name Motherface on the loose, and when Brock Chirino (Alec Owen) is
killed, his weird loner twin brother, Brent (oddly enough also played by Owen),
must infiltrate a popular college frat to find investigate. That’s where the
dude bros come into play. That’s really all the plot details that are
available, but do you really need more than that to launch into this kind of
mayhem? Didn’t think so. I would have watched this based on the title alone.
In addition to a better handle on the story, this time out
you also get a couple of looks at Patton Oswalt, both in his day job as a fire
chief, and dressed in a wizard like robe plotting some revenge.
Andrew W.K. also shows up this time around, and, you guessed
it, he’s ready to party. Go figure that the guy who wrote a song called “Party
Til You Puke” would be into that.
There is also a great deal of crotch spurting, throat
slitting, and what I’m pretty sure is a juicer being used in a way the
manufacturer never intended. Basically it’s a lot of damn fun. Just from the
title, you probably already know if you want to watch this or not, and lucky
you, it should hit sometime in 2015.
