Monster Party 2018

As the sun beats down on Malibu’s picturesque coastline, Casper, Iris, and her boyfriend Dodge, a trio of expert thieves, orchestrate a daring daylight heist with precision and finesse. Their triumphant exploit over, Iris reveals intel about a potential score at an opulent coastal mansion, but the high-security risk prompts them to dismiss the idea.

However, fate intervenes when Casper discovers that his father, Flash, has been kidnapped by Emory, a ruthless loan shark who demands payment for Flash’s outstanding debt. Desperate to save his father from certain death, Casper pays Emory a visit at his strip club and attempts to negotiate Flash’s release, but the loan shark coldly declines. Threatened with extinction if he fails to produce the demanded sum, Casper is left with no choice but to reconsider Iris’s original proposition.

Under the guise of caterers, the trio infiltrates the Dawson family’s mansion, where they meet the enigmatic hosts: Patrick and Roxanne Dawson, their children Elliot and Alexis. The atmosphere is tense, especially as Roxanne’s overtures betray a nervous energy. Casper, meanwhile, conducts a reconnaissance mission, uncovering a safe that becomes the focal point of his plan with Iris and Dodge.

As night falls, the mansion’s guests arrive, including musician Ollie, Cameron and Jeremy, self-proclaimed “blood brothers,” group leader Milo, and his date Becca. During dinner, each guest introduces themselves as recovering addicts gathered to celebrate their sobriety. Meanwhile, Casper works tirelessly to crack the safe while Iris monitors the situation in the kitchen and Dodge provides backup. But just as tensions begin to ease, Elliot’s hostility boils over, and he viciously attacks Dodge with a meat cleaver, severing his hand before brutally butchering him to death.

As the security system’s silence allows chaos to ensue, Elliot (bloodied and exhausted) is discovered by the bewildered guests, who are then met with Iris’s frantic entrance upon finding Dodge’s lifeless body. The atmosphere rapidly descends into pandemonium as the guests, driven by a mix of fear and confusion, launch themselves at Iris and Casper. In the ensuing melee, Iris seizes the opportunity to exact revenge on Ollie, sending him tumbling down the stairs in a fatal fall. Milo’s authoritative voice, ringing out above the din, manages to temporarily quell the violence, but not before Iris breaks free and stumbles upon the dark truth: Becca had taken her own life mere moments prior. As she frantically searches for an escape route, Casper retreats to a bedroom, where he arms himself with a revolver, readying himself for the impending battle.

Meanwhile, Milo attempts to defuse the situation by revealing his group’s true nature – a collective of recovering serial killers who have found solace in his leadership and strive to channel their baser instincts into constructive means. He solemnly assures Casper and Iris that he has no intention of harming them, instead offering to compensate them for their silence, with the ulterior motive of rendering them helpless through intoxication and subsequently turning them over to the authorities, thereby shielding his own group from suspicion.

Downstairs, Alexis secretly confides in Iris about her plan to facilitate their escape, only to be caught by Cameron and Jeremy, who unleash a brutal assault on the pair. Casper, now fully armed and enraged, forces the entire group downstairs, where they bear witness to Jeremy’s futile attempt to strangle Iris – Elliot, still reeling from his earlier ordeal, proves no match for Casper’s determination, disarming him with ease. The situation rapidly spirals out of control as Milo unleashes a vicious beating upon Jeremy, only to be met by Patrick’s deadly gunfire. Roxanne’s anguished cries are drowned out by the cacophony of chaos as Alexis manages to spirit Iris and Casper away into a hidden room, replete with photographs of their tormentors and a mysterious, sealed chamber.

As Patrick’s malevolent intentions become apparent through the home’s intercom system, he taunts them with the haunting melody of a music box, unwittingly awakening Mikey – Dawson’s seemingly innocent “dog” – who lies in wait within the sealed chamber. The once-loyal canine bursts forth, driven by a primal fury, and attacks Iris and Casper with unrelenting ferocity. In a gruesome finale, Iris meets her demise at Mikey’s jaws, her face brutally torn asunder; but it is ultimately Cassper who delivers the coup de grâce, striking down the beast with his trusty katana.

As Patrick effortlessly reactivates the security system, the shutters slide open, revealing a narrow window of opportunity for Alexis and Casper to make their escape. Seizing the moment, they dash out of the room, only to be confronted by Patrick’s sinister intentions. His attempt to eliminate Casper is foiled when he becomes the victim of his own brutal handiwork, left disembowelled and helpless on the floor.

Undeterred, Alexis and Casper flee outside, but their freedom is short-lived as they’re confronted once more by Cameron, wielding a menacing chainsaw. Casper severs Cameron’s foot, sending the deadly tool crashing to the ground, where it eviscerates its owner, ending his reign of terror.

As they attempt to catch their breath, they’re suddenly knocked out and tied to chairs suspended precariously above the Dawson’s pool. Elliot, reveling in their vulnerability, orders Casper and Alexis to cut the ropes that will send each other plummeting into the depths below. Desperate to comply, Alexis cuts Casper’s rope, only to be brutally dispatched by Elliot, leaving her floating lifelessly in the water.

Meanwhile, Roxanne arrives on the scene, taking Elliot by surprise with a swift and deadly stab. With Elliot neutralized, she rescues Casper and Alexis from their precarious perch, ushering them towards safety. Though Elliot’s lifeless body still clings to the pool’s edge, his spirit is finally vanquished when Alexis deals him a fatal blow.

As Roxanne and Alexis work together to clean up the chaos they’ve left in their wake, Casper takes possession of a $100,000 windfall and one of the couple’s prized sports cars. With his newfound wealth and a taste for vengeance, he makes a beeline for Emory’s high-stakes club, where he unleashes havoc upon the security detail guarding its doors.

Faced with the gruesome consequences of his actions, Casper confronts Emory, slicing off the top of his head in a brutal display of retribution. The chilling tableau is watched by Emory’s stunned father, who bears witness to his son’s blood-soaked demise at the hands of the vengeful Casper. As the katana falls from Casper’s grasp, it seems that justice has finally been served, but the true cost of his actions will linger long after the dust settles.
