Monster Party (2018) – By Baron Craze

October 11, 2018
Film Reviews

While the box art cover doesn’t appear very horror-like for Monster Party and makes early comparisons to Don’t Breathe, it shall in generating a seriously intense bloodbath to even ridiculous proportions, with many graphic scenes.
