Alice in Murderland

I never, and I mean never, write reviews. This one prompted a review. This film is so bad that it approaches being comical. Unfortunately, I do not think they were trying to be campy.

The premise, the acting, the set, the special effects are terrible. There is nothing redeeming here.

For those of you who remember MST3K, Joel and the bots should be forced to watch this one!

I like Slasher Horror movies and this one is a decent enough way to kill 90 minutes. (no pun intended)

If you like the kind of movie where random teens go to a place and start dying, then this movie fits that profile.

I don't judge acting too seriously, I guess it can be considered poor, but I personally don't really care about that.

Some of the characters are alright, I particularly enjoyed the teacher for some reason.

There is one very funny scene, although 95% of the scenes are pretty bad.

I've seen far worse production on low budget movies. The kill scenes aren't great, but at least they aren't hidden/cut-away scenes.

The overall production is high enough.

Nothing special, but entertaining enough to keep my attention, I didn't walk away or feel like turning it off throughout the duration.

If you can ignore some of the illogical scenes/dialogue and some of the many errors, then it is good enough to watch once to pass the time.

Alice Lewis is about to turn 21. Her sorority sisters decide to organise an 'Alice in Wonderland' themed birthday party for her at a local dilapidated mansion - which the school has just bought with the intention of turning it into a theatre for their dramatic productions. However, in the basement of that same house 20 years ago Alice's mother was hacked to death by an unknown killer. And as her birthday gets nearer Alice starts to have premonitions and dreams that indicate history is about to repeat itself.

The budget for this appears to have been whatever the cast and crew had in their pockets when they all decided 'Let's make a movie!' Some of the photography looks like it was shot on a phone, most of the 'acting' ranges between bad and God-awful, and the costumes all look like they were borrowed from a local strip joint.

But...

The girls - including lookalike versions of young 'Mila Kunis', young 'Danielle Harris', and young 'Terri Garr' - are cute and engaging (you *almost* want them to survive), the whole cast are game, and the script is actually pretty funny. Plus there's a lot of blood.

I was surprised that a 21 year old would still be at school and in a sorority; I'm in the UK, but wouldn't she finish school at around 18? Anyway, whilst I'm glad I didn't pay for it, I can't hate on it - it's just really dumb fun! 😄 5/10.

I held off on watching this due to the reviews here. Rated 1.9 and bad reviews, I don't know why. Expecting the worst, I got a movie that wasn't soft core porn, like someone suggested. It wasn't bad, nothing to write home about, but still decent. If you're looking for a movie that isn't the greatest, but has some charm, then look no further

Only giving this a one because some of the actresses are attractive. They couldn't act but were nice to look at.
