The Bucks County Massacre (2010)

Purely Joyful Movie!

How sad is this?

Charming and brutal

Better Late Then Never

I hate to be "That guy" but I'm going to have to be on this occasion, I'm gonna be the guy who points out how many fake reviews are presently on IMDB for this title and thus no doubt how many fake ratings. The cast, the crew and their families maybe? But lots of newly made accounts with no activity other than to give an outstanding review for this? Yeah not dodgy at all.Now let me be clear I'm quite a fan of Brain Damage films, for those unaware they are a hyper low budget film company that makes mostly horror films. Here they've adopted the lowest budget genre of all, found footage. It's yet another that opens with disclaimers claiming that it's all real yadayadayada. Over an hour of the film is character development, yes really! When something does finally happen it's rushed, loud and ultimately you don't see anything.The film has the genres usual tropes, screaming, excuses for still filming, walking through the woods & night vision. Did I mention screaming?I'm not a hater of found footage I just hate that every man and his dog are making them and that nothing actually happens.This is dreadful stuff.The Good:Character development is solidThe Bad:Nothing happensAn hour of character development is too muchThings I Learnt From This Movie:Brain Damage films should stick to making movies set around Syn DeVil getting her boobs out

This was the most excruciating thing I've ever seen. It was loud and annoying, and I couldn't understand WHY any of these people were friends. They were vicious and nasty to each other, and yes, they had the excuse of being 'drunk', but for a birthday celebration, it was awful. The 'testimonials' from the 'families' were filled with nothing but wonderful and good things about their dead children. The 'families' didn't seem to be grieving in a natural way. It was if they took 'Ham Acting 101'.The man-thing was barely seen, and the purpose of the slaughter was unclear. He wasn't EATING them, so why ATTACK them. I wanted to slap those stupid girls so very badly. I kept saying SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. They wouldn't stop their infernal screaming, even when it would've been prudent for them to be friggin' QUIET.All in all, a hack job of a stupid found footage mess. Blech.

A group of friends head out to one girl's family's remote vacation house in Bucks County, PA to celebrate Will's 25th birthday. Two of the guests are filming everything to give Will something to remember. As the night goes on, one girl goes outside to make a phone call and never comes back. Things go from bad to worse, and the cameras become the main witnesses to the horrors that befall the revelers.Or something like that, because most of the found footage in this movie consists of shots of the ground and of the low-growing foliage on the property. To be fair, though, this aspect bumped up BCM a point or two for me since this is more like how actual found footage would look. As it is, it takes 63 minutes of this 84-minute flick for anything resembling "horror" to take place. Then the remaining characters watch the footage again and the girls shriek and cry while the guys get macho and grab shotguns. Most of the rest of the cast then gets killed inside the house and there's no more footage shot.There's a framing device of filmmakers putting together a documentary on the massacre and interviewing family members of the victims but it doesn't really work because everyone is portrayed as being really nice kids and then at the party they're mostly really nice kids and then they're dead formerly really nice kids.It's nice that we get a glimpse or two of the killer but it really just left me wanting more. Also, the last ten minutes or so do generate a fair amount of suspense and dread - I wish there had been more of this and less exposition. As it is, Bucks County Massacre ends up being a pretty boring affair.

as every film there is a build up. its supposed to be a true story so the party scenes make perfect sense.i can relate to this as many other kids and young adults can to.It seamed pretty real to me.plus its in bucks county PA so they are known for a lot of supernatural occurrences.whatever that vampire or thing was in the woods it killed those people. M night Shamalan filmed Signs in Bucks county pa and its a pretty crazy place.FLAWS: are a little to much party,to much screamingGOOD:entertaining,suspenseful,you get to see the killer somewhat unlike other found footage films and its ORIGINAL!Hope this goes Mainstream!!!
