Project X Review

Most people will at some point have read about a party that caused complete and utter devastation, with most of the mayhem caused after a private party was made public on a social network. This is what Project X is loosely based upon.

Think of the most insane house party you’ve ever been at, or even heard about. Then multiply that by 100 and you get close to the madness that is Project X. Utilising the found footage genre, the movie follows a group of less than popular friends who organise a birthday party that quickly spirals out of control when hundreds and hundreds of people turn up.

Combining a number of different cameras, from what looks like Flips to handycams, the party is presented from a number of angles, shots and viewpoints. At times though, the footage is almost too good and seems a bit unrealistic for a bunch of teenagers. Either that, or they’re the most talented bunch of cameramen yet. That said though, they have to be commended for their amazing underwater photography. Not since Piranha 3D has there been such impressive underwater footage.

Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper and Jonathan Daniel Brown are all adequate in their roles of debauchery. Lets face it though, a movie like this doesn’t require much acting. It really is like the producers just gave a bunch of teens some cameras and told them to go bat shit crazy. And bat shit crazy they do go. Theres more than enough tits, ass and dog humping here to keep everybody “excited”

It takes a while to get going, but once it does, its madness after madness with copious quantities of slow motion boobies. The last 30 minutes in particular are real life out loud with some completely over the top scenes. And while its not entirely convincing as a found footage movie, If you fancy an absolute and utter no brainer then Project X is just what the doctor ordered.
