A group of partygoers at a High School Reunion find themselves snowed in and their host murdered. Can they find the killer who is undoubtedly in their midst before they strike again?
Reunion is an out and out dire movie.
The plot is as follows… the now rich and largely hated Mathew Danbury (Chace Crawford) hosts a High School Reunion at his large home on the night of a blizzard. Whilst most party goers manage to get away in time a smaller group are snowed in and find Mathew dead. With the phone lines down and them cut off from society they attempt to work together to solve the murder.
The cast of characters and suspects are played by the likes of Billy Magnussen, Lil Rel Howery, Jillian Bell and Michael Hitchcock who all play to the type that you would expect if you have seen any of them in any of their other film credits. Jillian Bell’s shtick at this point is just excruciatingly hard to watch.
Whilst the script has all of the characters doing daft things that seem barely representative of what may pass as human behaviour. And worst of all in this genre a solution that seems pulled out of a hat without any of the breadcrumbs that might help it make sense.
The result is sensationally unfunny and feels like a cut rate straight to video attempt to cash in on the recent popularity of the whodunnit genre. In fact it feels so much like a budget version of the genre that I found more interest in contemplating who the cast would be if this was a film funded by Netflix rather than finding itself ignominiously dumped on Amazon Prime.
Avoid at all costs.
