Review of R.S.V.P.

R.S.V.P. (I) (2002)
9/10
Bold & Hysterical! So sit back, RELAX, and enjoy!
11 December 2003
First off this outstanding flick is much more complex than it first appears. Judging by the comments on this page viewers fall into two categories: Those that get it (i.e. actually have a sense of humor and are looking for something fresh) and those that don't (i.e. expecting the S.O.S. and WAY TOO uptight). Basically this film is a BLACK COMEDY NOT A THRILLER - which might explain the don'ts - and a cracking good black comedy it is. The filmmakers boldly play with the audiences' expectations of a standard booze and bodies Thriller while at the same time letting the audience in on 'the gag' (Please refer to the Bullfight conversation scene mid way through if this set up is lost on you. If you still don't get it -- seek help to remove the stick from your arse) The 'gag' being that the Audience knows who the killer is in this madcap '10 Little Indians' scenario and thus the CHAOS and LAUGHS ensue as the killer plucks off his victims one by one in increasingly bizarre fashion. Pasta Anyone?! All in All this film kicks ass. Check it out and leave your ego at the door. You won't be disappointed.
