Friends Forever (2011) User Reviews

Solid spoof of the slasher genre

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 23 September 2013]

"Friends 4ever" was the first directed short-film by internet-video sensation Shane Dawson. Not much later, his take on the holidays "How Shananay Stole Christmas" was released, but first of all he gave us lots of blood and scares in "Friends 4ever". It goes for a bit over 20 minutes and features the known story about a serial killer who takes out a party one by one. Lots of gore, lots of blood and even some vomit and intestines are waiting for you.

Just like for his next project, Dawson stars himself here in drag as vain party girl Amy Johnson. Finally, (s)he's he last one standing. Will the killer (who has a truly scary bloody skeleton skull mask BTW.) kill her as well? My favorite performance from the cast came from Cyrina Fiallo and I'm curious to check out more work from her, like "The Subpranos". Besides that, I wonder what happened to the pizza guy. It's a decent short film and I'd recommend it, especially to fans of the horror/slasher-genre.

Hilarious, but doesn't go into the story as much as I hoped.

You got to love Shane Dawson. In this story, he portrays a girl named "Amy Johnson" who has a Halloween party, and decides to pull a prank on Danny "Dandruff", which turns deadly. I like the graphics (though one kill scene was a little revealing that it was fake knives) and the overall of the movie. The ending will keep you all laughing your heads off, or being surprised. Now... the bad part. I didn't like how they didn't go into the story of Brenda (played by Bree Essrig) and her mom, like Amy mentioned near the middle. Even though this is a YouTube short, I still think they should have gone into Brenda a little more. As I said before, I love this short, about Amy Johnson, whose having a party with her five other friends, and an unexpected guest....
