ASIAN CINEMA Argento
Billionaire baseball investor and blogger Mark Cuban has teamed up with coproducer Todd Wagner to launch Magnet Films, a subsidiary of Magnolia Pictures, to realease "rule-breaking" films.

A preview of the slate, which was revealed Tuesday, promised an erotic-noir-thriller starring Asia Argento—as if there were any other kind starring Asia Argento—and a Viking movie with a "black metal" soundtrack. As cool as those sound, we were most intrigued by the alternative backlash flick Murder Party, which tells the tale of "a gang of deranged hipster artists"—again, are there any other kind?—who plan to lure a victim to their Brooklyn loft and ritually kill him as part of their performance art.

Sounds like a typical night in Bushwick to us.

The full, deranged, synopsis is after the jump ...

IT'S A DEAD MAN'S PARTY Murder Party

Murder Party: Written and Directed by Jeremy Saulnier

Synopsis: It's Halloween night in Brooklyn, and Chris, a lonely, square, and unremarkable man is returning home from his meter-maid job when he finds a mysterious invitation on the street. Following it to what he believes will be a fun costume party, he discovers that he's stumbled into a lethal trap set by a gang of deranged hipster artists. Their plan is to lure someone to their remote warehouse studio and ritually murder them as part of an extreme artistic event. It's all to impress their wealthy and sinister guru/patron, who soon arrives with promises of grant money and a creepy, dead-eyed henchman. As the booze and drug fueled night wears on, rivalries within the group flare up with gruesomely violent consequences. A body count accrues and Chris must take advantage of the ensuing chaos if he's ever going to escape the warehouse and survive the night. No one is spared in this hilariously biting, gleefully bloody horror film.
