LAN Party Massacre film pokes fun at gamers, slasher movies


At this year's QuakeCon, Big Download was able to sit in on a private screening of Frag, a serious documentary about the many struggles and setbacks dealt with by professional gamers such as Jonathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel. At the complete opposite end of the spectrum is LAN Party Massacre, a satirical film in development by Creatively Bankrupt Productions.

LAN Party Massacre follows the exploits of a group of pro gamers invited to a national LAN tournament. One of the attendees has spent a bit too much time playing video games and decides to hunt down fellow attendees.

The movie aims to parody both the "slasher" sub-genre of horror movies as well as gaming culture, with the antagonist, a man obsessed with violence due to excessive gaming, seemingly viewed as a representation of how the government and most non-gamers view our admittedly violent hobby.

LAN Party Massacre will be available in 2009. You can view or download a teaser trailer on the movie's official website.
