Let's be realistic.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Yeah, the acting is pretty bad. Yeah, the script might need a little work. Yeah, it was low-budget. And yeah, if I had rented it from Blockbuster, I probably would have been disappointed. However, my copy happens to be in one of those "great" 50-packs, and surrounded by movies far far far worse. It's actually one of the better films. I admit that my review is probably pretty clouded by that fact, but I'd like to explain anyway.Massacre is a slasher flick, plain and simple. You've got a standard story with 20-somethings on a camping trip. You've got your occasional nudity, your sex scenes (including a "lesbian" scene), and lots and lots of blood. They could have kept it stock and standard and had our unknown-for-most-of-the-film murderer turn out to be an escaped convict, or maybe even the weird homeless guy. But no, they added a nice little twist. And even when we thought we'd gotten our twist, there's another continuation of that twist waiting for us.In the realm of low-budget slasher flicks? This one was actually pretty good. You just need to know what you are getting in to. And if you are the sort of person that will pick up a horror flick by an unknown director with unknown actors? Well, then my guess is you probably do have some idea what you are getting in to.

First of all...whoever the user *Donald* is, get a life.This guy must be a cast or crew member... He has posted at least 4 reviews, saying that it's great fun & just as good as "Halloween". I hope this fool is getting paid enough. I won't even go into detail about the film...it sucks!Horrible acting... Horrible SFX... It's awful! Stay away!!!!

What did I just watch? This film is definately low budget. However there are some impressive dream sequences and traditional slasher gore scenes. The one liners are hilarious. I walked around campus all weekend using some of the lines to get laughs. This is not an intelligent film. The photography is brutal, but it is more like a movie than the Blair Witch Project. The girls are not that good looking but there are some nudes scenes and the one liners are great. Dont rent this if your looking to be moved. But if you want to get something that is a riot for a bunch of buds, this is great! The chainsaw murder is great. They must of used several hundred gallions of fake blood. And the guys actually get laid for a change. My God! Imagine that! RENT IT! But dont BUY IT!

Don't let the name "Bikini Party Massacre" fool you into believing this is a Bikini party movie with a horror edge. This movie has nothing to do with bikinis! This has been released as simply "Massacre" on DVD. The funny thing is that the DVD has several extras including a featurette and commentary...wow, anyone who'd waste their time going through all of that garbage must be nuts.From the look of the box i thought it might be good for a low-budget horror flick. How very, very wrong i was. Now, i like the "so bad they're good" movies (especially horror) but this film is just terrible. I would be surprised if this movie even had a real production budget. I wouldn't even consider this as a "B" movie, more like a "Y" movie.The film barely clocks in at over an hour and it could have been made in much less than 20 minutes as a short film and been mildly entertaining. The sound recording and mix is really pitiful, you can barely understand the dialogue throughout most of it. The picture is decent, but the lighting and camera angles are usually way off. It appears to be shot on digital video...seems like most of the really lame movies these days are no-budget and shot on the cheap format.Very slow and boring, i nearly fell asleep. The first 20 minutes are incredibly slow-paced, so much that you may wish to fast-forward ahead. The plot simply goes nowhere and is quite moronic to begin with. We have one woman who was molested by her father and now sees his ghost, so she has sex with almost any man she sees just to make her father's ghost angry? It is incredibly easy to see what's going to happen next. There are no scares or frights to be found.The gore? I don't know if the director was trying to be funny or what...but the blood in this movie looks like a child was spraying it through a hose onto the victims. Especially the "chainsaw sequence" which seems like pure comedy.Nudity? There is some (both male and female), the few women in the movie aren't all that great looking. So, if you're looking for a "late-night flick" look elsewhere.As for the "Sixth Sense-style" ending (which you have to wait over an hour for the movie to make any true sense of), completely stupid and unbelievable.Avoid this cinematic atrocity by any means necessary!
