Party Bus to Hell (2017) Reviews

• This is a very lousy film filled with unnecessary n overlong nudity, bad creature effects n headache n sleep inducing flickering lights.

  The film has a decent opening scene with the desert location n a couple running away from something. We get to c a very plastic looking Tara Reid. She beheads the other person in a fit of hysteria n the dead man's head starts talking to her. This was sufficient to convey wher the movie was heading. Still i had hopes after reading in the trivia section that this film got some achievement award in Calcutta (city in my country India). I dont kno how far that is true. Cut the scene n we get to c a girl who gets invited to board a bus which is heading towards Nevada for some burning man festival. This is a very lousy film filled with unnecessary topless scenes, boring n lengthy lesbian orgies, bad cgi, repeated scenes of lesbian orgies with blood while the men jus stands aside. Lots on boobs on display, one lousy sex scene n one very lousy creature. There was absolutely no tension or suspense. The dialogues were horrendous. Apart from Tara Reid who is also the producer, the only actor i cud recognise is Sadie Katz from Wrong turn 6. She too doesn't hesitate to go topless. Her voice n face r seductive though. In one scene the tatoos/reptiles from Sadie katz's body comes out alive. This scene was supposed to be creepy but the headache n sleep inducing flickering lights ruined the entire scene. This is the second time i encountered a bad movie experience regarding almost similar title n synopsis. The first one was Hard ride to hell. Well apart from the titles being a lil similar, even the synopsis n the settings were very similar. Cult satanic group n desert location. Both the movies r awful.

• The Overrated IMDb User Rating Is a Bad Joke

  "Party Bus to Hell" is the typical movie that reflects how sad the IMDb is after the recent modifications. The film is an unfunny garbage, with the cameo of Tara Reid that looks like an unhealthy dummy (or mummy?). There are also fake reviews and ratings to promote this flick and lure the unwary reader. The gore, nudity and breasts are so stupid that never entertain and the poor CGI is awful. The overrated IMDb User Rating (5.5) is a bad joke. In the end, what could a viewer expect from a film entitled "Party Bus to Hell" with Tara Reid as the lead actress? My vote is two. Title (Brazil): Not Available

• This REALLY SUCKS!

  I didn't expect much from a movie with the title of Party Bus to Hell but this is dismal beyond belief. The CGI effects are so bad and it looks like it was shot on a long weekend. Poor Tara Reid looks haggard and unhealthy and the rest of the cast is forgettable. I figured that you'd get a kind of Fred Olen Ray film, with lots of hot looking girls running around naked but most of the women should have kept their clothes on! The so called plot is like a combo of Race with the Devil and The hills have eyes. Making comedy horror is actually quite hard to do. This just proves that. Words are hard to come up with to describe this. Wasted time and money that I won't get back. You've been warned.

• One hellish bus ride that doesn't make one want to party

  Was drawn into seeing 'Party Bus to Hell', with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre it fits under. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there (though there are decent to good ones as well), made me though apprehensive. It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws present in those films are here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Party Bus to Hell' is really quite abominable, with so many huge flaws and doesn't do anywhere near enough with its potential, which was quite a good deal. There is nothing good here in 'Party Bus to Hell', just amateur hour all round. Going on to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it comes over as vague and under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less unsettled and never gaining momentum. All the characters are too sketchy and with cardboard thin and colourless personalities and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. The chemistry is bland and unfocused. The sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions), the effects are laughable and all of the acting is lacking severely on the whole, that's actually an understatement as the worst of it is horrendous. There is no sense of horror or engagement with the awful predicament they're in, and no connecting with the character, it just reeks of indifference which makes the viewer not care less too. Lead actress Tara Reid is the epitome of all of the above. Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace and film drags on forever, apparent from the very start, never recovering that interest is lost fast. The ending has no build-up and just ends ridiculously. Found too many of the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Thrills are none, thanks to stodginess and excessive over-familiarity, and found myself never invested in the drama, which tended to be indifferently acted, interminably paced and statically directed. A lot of 'Party Bus to Hell' has really dull and going nowhere plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you shocked are far from creative or unsettling. It all feels rather mean-spirited. Anything included to attempt to spice things up, namely the nudity, is overused and abused, most of the time to a pointless degree. Nothing freaky or interesting, no development and too derivative, while everything is unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show any sense of dread. There is nothing interesting or illuminating with what the film was trying to do and the drama is overwrought with no momentum and a lot of weirdness. The direction is leaden, got the sense their heart was not in it, and the music is ill-fitting. 'Party Bus to Hell' is very amateurish visually, making one feel nauseous and actually did feel a headache coming on. Especially the lighting, epileptics need to be aware of the headache-inducing overuse of flickering. The editing is some of the worst ever with more continuity errors than one can count. Altogether, irredeemably terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox
