During a post-graduation party of a college student obsessed with serial killers, the guests are murdered one by one.

Cast

Genre

The film was marketed as a dark comedy.[1] The Austin Chronicle described it as a suspense film.[2]

Production

Funding came from investors whose deal fell through on Mark Anthony Galluzzo's previous film. Galluzzo, who wrote, produced, and directed the film, said he performed many roles during production both out of necessity and because of his background working various jobs on other projects.[3]

Reception

Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 20% of five surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 4.2/10.[4] Scott Foundas of Variety called it a "loud, crass redo of Hitchcock's Rope" with unlikable characters.[5] Kimberley Jones wrote in The Austin Chronicle that R.S.V.P.'s "inability to stick to a tone makes for a wildly uneven film, but also a mostly entertaining one, too".[2]

R.S.V.P. won best film at the Malibu Film Festival.[1]

gollark: So does `supplies`.
gollark: `flies`, and `earliest` also contain lies.
gollark: `allies` contains `lies`. Coincidence? I think not.
gollark: In that case it would probably be more like "print hydroponics system, connect to water, supply random stuff".
gollark: `cat /usr/share/dict/words | grep lies`
