Three small-time thieves specializing in home burglary pose as caterers for a fancy dinner party at the Malibu mansion of the extravagantly wealthy Dawson family. But their plan for the perfect heist goes horribly wrong when they discover that the Dawsons and their guests are actually a support group of recovering serial killers. When one of the addicts can’t resist the urge to attack, this simple cash grab becomes an all-out battle for survival where no one is safe. (RLJ Entertainment)

A passable one-off that is enough to kill a boring evening. Monster Party has a relatively cool concept about three thieves infiltrating a fancy villa, where detox therapy of serial killers is performed, and of course, things go awry. The first half is a bit slow, but then it picks up quite well. The gore is pretty good, although nothing extreme or new, but it was definitely enjoyable. In terms of craftsmanship, it’s not bad, and from the cast, I liked Erin Moriarty, whom most know as Starlight from The Boys, but something was missing. Either a more distinctive style or sharper gore, I hardly noticed any humor, and definitely it could have been more intense and wild. However, boredom is not to be feared and that's the main thing. 5.5/10.
