What critics compared Murder Party to
Filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier proved adept at blending blood-splattered horror and comedy with his 2007 feature debut “Murder Party.”
There are notes of deadpan farce here and there in “Blue Ruin” that recall Saulnier’s directing debut, the 2007 Brooklyn horror-comedy “Murder Party,” although the general tenor of this film is definitely not super-hilarious.
Winner of the International Federation of Film Critics Prize at last year’s Cannes festival, the low-budget “Blue Ruin” was written, shot and directed by Jeremy Saulnier (“Murder Party”) and executive produced by lead actor Macon Blair, his lifelong friend.
Director Jeremy Saulnier's first film, the comedy horror Murder Party, may have been an inauspicious debut but his sophomore effort, an unusually minimalist revenge thriller, is pure gold.
Funded in part by maxed out credit cards and kickstarter, Jeremy Saulnier’s follow up to Murder Party is a grim and moody tale of revenge.
It's an example of the grim humor that writer-director Jeremy Saulnier ("Murder Party") employs throughout, offering relief from scenes of violence that can approach the level of exploitation films.
