I watched this film, thoroughly enjoyed it and laughed myself to death. I watched it again, and again, and felt clever and silly, and laughed a fresh laugh again: maybe because this little piece of art, of heart, is the work of people who won't stop their creativity for the sake of elegance or film-making. The film endorses its parodied genre to full extent, therefore I don't see anyone without an appeal for slasher movies go through it all. On the other hand, not much knowledge is required to appreciate the dismembering of all the tried and true clichés. Overall a highly enjoyable movie, with no real downside, and quite diverse despite being a revisitation of films that are originally quite monotone. Recommended to all the breathing people.

Why make the first or the second movie, when you can start with the third one and just briefly use a couple of minutes telling the plot of the first two :) This is deliberately tacky, it is made like a VHS video, old and pretty bad quality, but it is part of the style, the bad bad style.This is the weirdest movie, you shouldn't always believe the reviews of the internet, even though it is deliberately trying to be a b-movie it is not really working for it, this just becomes more and more strange and it really sucks actually. Had this been made in the late 80 it would have killed, or had it been (the style suggest it) one of the genre movies of Peter Jackson well then it would have been alright, but to deliver this in 2015 well it's just not the same.

The Plot.In the wake of two back-to-back mass murders on Chico's frat row, loner Brent Chirino must infiltrate the ranks of a popular fraternity to investigate his twin brother's murder at the hands of the serial killer known as "Motherface."Stoopid plot.First of all the two amazing reviews here are written by clowns who worked on the film. Why does IMDb allow that? I guess they can't control it. This is not a 10 or 10 movie by ANY stretch of the imagination.It's yet another found footage mess of a movie. Example -- within the first 2 minutes. A therapist takes a pencil out of a pencil case and it makes a knife metal sound. Then in the two shot she doesn't even have the pencil anymore!OMG. Amateurs at workSpecial effects? Think actual drawings for buildings!!!! Not even CGI!!! And somehow Larry King is in this film! And a like 60 year old porn star. The "college" kids all look like they are pushing 40. The acting is horrible.In fairness, the gore is abundant and funny. When there is no violence, the movie is the dregs

Full disclosure: I've been a fan of 5SF for years and even bought tickets to the world premiere at the LA Film fest so I'm probably a fanboy.There are a plethora of horror comedies out there, and many self aware entries into the genre will poke fun at their own tropes, but never before like this. The best summary of DBPM3 I could give would be Friday the 13th mixed with Airplane mixed with the volleyball scene from Top Gun. The film has one of the highest jokes per minute rate of any I've ever seen: any duds or misses are swiftly forgotten when another joke is laid out less than 10 seconds later. It grabs a hold of your funny bone and mercilessly throttles it, I felt physically exhausted by the end.Even though it is a satire of 80's slashers, most of the jokes are timeless, and don't require extensive knowledge of the genre/time period to understand (and good thing too, I imagine the target audience was still in diapers during the 80's). It attempts to recreate the poor quality film making of low budget slashers, and largely succeeds, to the point where I couldn't tell which mistakes were intentional (i imagine most of them) The only stumbling block for me was the side plot involving Officer Sminkle. Although funny at times, it seemed to drag on, and was only tangentially related to the plot. For me it never seemed to join cohesively with the action at the frat.My advice? Get a group of friends and a case of beer before viewing this movie. It is strong on its own merits, but seems to have been created with group viewing in mind.
