Among Friends
I’m gonna level with all of you, I AM A SUCKER FOR THEME PARTIES! If I can wear a costume and play around all night, sign me right the fuck up. Right meow.
This movie takes us to a party thrown by Bernadette (Alyssa Lobit, also the writer of the film). It’s a murder mystery party where the theme is 1980’s pre-prom party style. Already a good start. Anyways, so when they sit down to eat, it turns out that Bernadette drugged them all and made it impossible for them to move. So she tied them all to their chairs and forced them to watch home videos she secretly took of them. Guess what? They’re all terrible people and the home videos prove it. Bernadette takes her revenge by torturing them and pinning them against each other.
It’s Danielle Harris as the director in this gruesome party rock anthem. Personally, I like how she did this movie, I also enjoy that the lead actress is also the writer. It’s intimate in a weird way. But we’ve all known that Miss. Harris has been the Queen of Scream for years upon years now. So, why would she produce anything other then a good movie? “That was a rhetorical question” (HA! quotes the movie... well para phrased it. Watch it, you’ll get the joke).

Basically its an hour and a half of people being tied to chairs and forced to watch their stupid mistakes on screen...including one friend who rapes another friend. Seriously, you end up hating these people. But at the same time, you're like well when it comes down to it, are they really that bad?...yes, yes they are.
The actress’s in this adorable gem of a movie are as follows
Alyssa Lobit - Bernadette
Jennifer Blanc (Biehn) - Melanie
Dana Daurey - Lily
Brianna Davis - Jules
Kamala Jones - Sara
They all played being terrible people very well. Everyone at this party is clearly at fault. Well, except Lily, she’s a victim and damn freaking cute one if I must say. The only tape of her is the tape of AJ Bowen’s (my beard crush) character raping her in a bathroom, poor girl. Jennifer plays a rather slutty character, who gets caught on tape having a three way with two of the dudes in the group, while fucked up, while one of them was in a relationship with someone else in the group. Always making good choices.
Some fucking friends right?!
Anyways, as the stories come to the surface and people’s secrets are revealed, they begin to turn against each other. But the best part is that Bernadette made a rule that if one person votes Yes to a torture it goes through.
Example: Bernadette says she’s going to give Sara a hair cut as punishment. Blane says it’s just a hair cut and that it’s not that bad. Turns out hair cut means scalped. Like twisted right? Or Jules, who is fucked up on mushrooms and tripping hard, screams “yes” a bunch of times thinking she’s on set of movie (cause she’s fried). When, actually, she was casting her vote for Bernadette to castrate Bowen’s character. Painful right?
**Side Note: A.J.Bowen is totally my lumberjack man crush when he sports a beard. Damn boy!
Among Friends is ironically named, considering how can these people be friends?
It just goes to show that you’re truly yourself when you thinking no one’s looking.
How does this relate to the female genre? Well apart from the fact that most of the cast is made up by girls, the writer is a girl and the director is the Queen of Scream herself. That’s how it fits into this whole thing! Obviously!
I give this movie over all, a solid 85%. I really liked it. Ba-BAM!!
So, just remember boils and ghouls, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. You never know who’s watching.
