Lack of good storyline.
... View MoreIt's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreThe thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
... View MoreDudebro is a blatant farce on found footage movies, on straight-to-TV flicks, on horror tropes, etc.If anyone has seen the shorts made by 5SecondMovies, the company behind this production, they'll know that all the stupid, often terribly executed effects and plot devices are intentional.It's a chance to revel in the mediocrity of it all, a chance to sit back and laugh at the actors and the genres the film represents as a whole. It's very self aware, and all-the-more moving in it's desire to be nothing more than fun and fancy-free. Something Hollywood should be more willing to capitalize on in an age where cynicism has become a cruise control to cool.
... View MoreSo this is my first review here on IMDb, but I read on that was mostly negative and I just had to defend this trash jewel. This is a very fun movie it has great special effects, like old horror movies that don't rely on CGI at all. A Micheal Bay fan will not enjoy this gore fest. If you love movies that are made to be bad like Kung Fury or Black dynamite then you are going to love this one. Give it a try seriously. Summary: I'll try to keep this short and spoiler free. A stereotypical over the top fraternity is suspended from campus due to a prank gone wrong. They are send to an old haunted house in the woods. After that it all follows a known recipe horror fans know and enjoy. The director did a good job making the movie look like a 70's horror film. The writing team also did a great job as there were lots of funny jokes. The comedy part is also the best part of the movie, don't expect to be scared if you have seen a lot of horror movies before. 7/10
... View MoreThe Plot.In the wake of two back-to-back mass murders on Chico's frat row, loner Brent Chirino must infiltrate the ranks of a popular fraternity to investigate his twin brother's murder at the hands of the serial killer known as "Motherface."Stoopid plot.First of all the two amazing reviews here are written by clowns who worked on the film. Why does IMDb allow that? I guess they can't control it. This is not a 10 or 10 movie by ANY stretch of the imagination.It's yet another found footage mess of a movie. Example -- within the first 2 minutes. A therapist takes a pencil out of a pencil case and it makes a knife metal sound. Then in the two shot she doesn't even have the pencil anymore!OMG. Amateurs at workSpecial effects? Think actual drawings for buildings!!!! Not even CGI!!! And somehow Larry King is in this film! And a like 60 year old porn star. The "college" kids all look like they are pushing 40. The acting is horrible.In fairness, the gore is abundant and funny. When there is no violence, the movie is the dregs
... View MoreFull disclosure: I've been a fan of 5SF for years and even bought tickets to the world premiere at the LA Film fest so I'm probably a fanboy.There are a plethora of horror comedies out there, and many self aware entries into the genre will poke fun at their own tropes, but never before like this. The best summary of DBPM3 I could give would be Friday the 13th mixed with Airplane mixed with the volleyball scene from Top Gun. The film has one of the highest jokes per minute rate of any I've ever seen: any duds or misses are swiftly forgotten when another joke is laid out less than 10 seconds later. It grabs a hold of your funny bone and mercilessly throttles it, I felt physically exhausted by the end.Even though it is a satire of 80's slashers, most of the jokes are timeless, and don't require extensive knowledge of the genre/time period to understand (and good thing too, I imagine the target audience was still in diapers during the 80's). It attempts to recreate the poor quality film making of low budget slashers, and largely succeeds, to the point where I couldn't tell which mistakes were intentional (i imagine most of them) The only stumbling block for me was the side plot involving Officer Sminkle. Although funny at times, it seemed to drag on, and was only tangentially related to the plot. For me it never seemed to join cohesively with the action at the frat.My advice? Get a group of friends and a case of beer before viewing this movie. It is strong on its own merits, but seems to have been created with group viewing in mind.
