With an eye-catching title, Alice in Murderland does little (if anything) to keep its audience interested for the long haul. Written and directed by Dennis Devine (Demon Kiss), Alice in Murderland opens with the introduction of Alice's mother who is murdered while house-hunting.

Skip ahead to present day and we meet Alice, the cute and adorable Malerie Grady. Alice has a birthday coming up and her good-looking girlfriends decide to throw her a theme party – an Alice in Wonderland themed party. At the party, the guests will be given costumes that represent characters from the 1865 novel by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

Lucky for us, all the costumes are sexy pieces of fabric that would look right at home on any stripper stage this side of Montreal. What should be even luckier for the male geek in all of us is the fact that no members of the opposite sex are invited to the party. So if you take out the male owner of the party establishment who comes dressed as the Mad Hatter, you are left with a wet dream of a bunch of party girls dressed as stripper Tweedle-Dumb and Dee, the Red Queen and others.

But uh-oh, the Jabberwocky is also running through the halls of the building, and he/she/it is intent on leaving a trail of dead rabbit-hole characters in his wake.

What sounds like an interesting premise in the mold of some of the better horror films of the early 80's, Alice in Murderland falls flat – very flat – in overall execution.

I can assert that the blame cannot be placed on the shoulders of the cast. Each of the cast that include names you have never heard of or are likely to hear again, do an admirable job in individual emoting. But the script hardly allows anyone to exploit their inner-actor. Instead, we get mundane situations and even a fight between two girls that is as unbelievable and poorly shot as any in recent memory.

Director Dennis Devine must either have hired all family and friends for the film or he found religion somewhere along the road to the distribution as there is no nudity in a movie that screams for some titty. Even a shower scene neglects to show anything below a neckline and therefore the movie fails to titillate while failing to do just about everything else.

So characters end up living or dying and there is a stupid subplot of a rift between the girls that allows for the stereotypical separation of the pack. But pleeeeease! You want us to believe that these girls are actually friends, that they have a party for Alice at the same residence to which her mother was killed years ago (that's right folks) and that a killer wearing a Jabberwocky outfit is sneaking up on them and chopping them all to bits. Sorry. But not in my fairy tale! All this made Alice in Murderland a terrible film experience. We give it a half star for not using CGI blood, but that's about it. There is no wonder, mystery and hardly any tense-ful danger in Murderland and you should stay clear of this dud.

It is Alice's birthday and her sorority girlfriends throw her a themed party. Everyone comes as their favorite, sexy character from Wonderland. The Jabberwocky was not invited and brings murder and mayhem to the girls' night out.

I wish this was cool. I love Alice in Wonderland, and I wanted to like this at least a little bit, with the costumes and such. We definitely need a really good horror and Alice combination (remember that awesome video game?).

What we get is boring, low video quality and below average acting. Granted, I have seen much worse acting and and video quality, but at least these were not boring...

All of the girls at the party look like they are dressed for a porn shoot. Alice in Murderland gets an extra star for that (zero nakedness, BTW).

Some hammy deaths, awkward bursts of exposition, a story that could only be written for a bad horror movie, and when the "sinister" killer is revealed (and they play it sinister), his/her performance is flat-out cringeworthy. Good for a few unintentional laughs, and the ladies' slutty outfits are nice to gawk at. Worth it if you can find a copy at the $1 store.

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!

Deciding to watch this despite clear and emphatically poor reception felt like consciously punishing myself for the mixed bag represented in other titles I'd chosen in the same night. From the very, very beginning there is an absolute lack of subtlety in the screenplay (weak overall narrative, threadbare scene writing, thin characterizations, hackneyed dialogue), camerawork, direction, editing and transitions, arrangement of scenes, blood effects and gore, costume design, choreography, acting, and music. In every possible way the production feels purely amateurish - a first student film, perhaps, created by barely attentive beginners; a passion project among friends, except with scarcely any passion, fun, or active interest from anyone involved; or a schlocky, low-grade, themed porn flick, except without any nudity.

Considering the dialogue, the other features of filmmaker Dennis Devine, the wardrobe selections generally, and an early scene in which every female character is dressed only in a bikini - the latter comparison seems most apt.

'Alice in Murderland' is pointedly terrible, nearly entirely bereft of all value. There's infinitesimally little praise I can offer, but I find myself surprised that I've any at all. Against all odds, there's a single unexpected turn in the plot. There's an iota of cleverness in the sudden disappearances and reappearances of the "Cheshire Cat," Kat - though the underlying predictability is rotten. The characterizations of "Tweedledum" and "Tweedledee," or Donna and Dee, allow actresses Heath Butler and Jennifer Field to wholly lean into the vapid ignorance of the roles. And the latter lends to the single laugh that the entire movie provided in a small exchange of dialogue: "Where's Donna?" "Glued to the toilet." "Oh. Of course she is."

What's remarkable is that I gather a minor sense that the cast are genuinely capable actresses. Bad acting is one matter; acting under the strict terms and guidance of a director is another. The two are certainly distinct, and I'm inclined to think in this case the latter is true. Moreover, to glance at their collective credits reveals some tawdry nonsense much like Devine's oeuvre, yes, but also a number of recognizable films and series that can't be a mistake. To that point: The only reason I stumbled across this title in the first place was that I greatly admired the performance in the outstanding 2019 short film 'Nova' of Kelly Kula, and in browsing her credits, found she featured here as Kat. Yet suffice to say, 'Alice in Murderland' is a far cry from that fantastic horror short, or pretty much anything else. Devine's writing and direction forces everyone involved into such abjectly blunt, forthright, unsubtle, over the top, tacky performances that it's extremely difficult to truly distinguish, on the basis of this feature alone, who may or may not have real acting skill, were they given opportunity to demonstrate it.

I'll allow this: I don't know if Devine is just that awful of a filmmaker, or if every unseemly flaw of the picture is intentional. Considering how many other movies he's made, I suppose it's hard to think that he altogether doesn't know what he's doing. Yet if the horridly tedious pablum is knowing and willful, making a deliberately rancid movie - job well done, I guess, but why? To what purpose?

There is, I dare say, a tiny modicum of fun to be had in the final length of the feature, and again, there are a few elements that seem marginally worthwhile, at least by comparison. This isn't the absolute worst movie I've ever seen - but it's close enough. Any positivity is overwhelmed and subsumed in the grotesquely dull, possibly premeditated mediocrity that the film otherwise represents. What minuscule value one may find here is not worth sitting through these 90 minutes, especially not with so many other fine movies available to watch. A few pinpricks of light are not remotely enough to redeem the dark void of shallow, uninteresting, and vulgarly, garishly blatant rubbish that is 'Alice in Murderland.'

You've been warned.

I really really really love this movie so much and it was funny but it made me cry. I liked cat the most. Please watch this movie before you watch any bad film like scream 2.

You should watch this movie. This movie is possibly one of the most story rich slasher films i have ever seen. I was happy with the ending and how it is free to stream.

OK, the "Based on true events" at the opening of the movie; That really chaps my behind. No need for movies to falsely advertise that B.S. Totally uncalled for, and I am sick of movie's taking advantage of it. Moving on. 'Alice in Murderland' is not as bad a movie as these reviews claim. Remember, it is a B-movie. These are not A-list actors & actresses. They actually did a pretty good job and the movie was pretty hilarious with a ton of funny scenes. It had it dull and lame moments. But obv, you are going to have some give & take with a B-movie. Now, this movie is not for everybody. But honestly though, if you like slashers and do not mind B-movies, then you will prob enjoy this movie. Or you will at the very least find it watchable. It has a been gathering a loyal fan-base on its Facebook page and is slowly developing into a cult classic. HONEST TO GOD.

You would definitely not be giving it a rating as low as these people are, such as these 1's and 2's which I just don't understand. These people who give 1's and 2's will then complain and say they wish they had the time or money that they wasted on the movie back. Like they didn't have the choice to shut off the movie while it was on. I fast forward through some parts of bad movies sometimes and finish them in half the time. And still get the basic plot beginning middle and end of the movie. As for these 1's and 2's they give out like candy to kids, I mean I have seen some awful, and I mean awful movies. And those are 1's and 2's. This is nothing, compared to those. Not even close. Not even in the same ball-park. I mean seriously, a 1? Gimme a break? People who give movies a 1, I don't even see how they would watch the whole thing to the end.

The person who said Alice is the worst actor in the movie is a complete maroon (call it a color) & couldn't be more wrong than if he was a blind man shopping for a green t-shirt on his own. Except for Alice's grand finalé. Her acting was up there with the best of em'. Dee(meow)& Samantha (chef?), (bf), (black kid), were all much, much worst!!! A 10 second sketchy & shady laugh by Alice that was horrible acting and probably the worst in the movie does not make her the worst actress in the movie. It was only a 10 second scene. The rest of the main characters acting was decent. And her friend Maleroe. Her acting was very good in leading the cast. She def carries the movie. She is hot. A dime-piece, a 10!!! Her finale at the end is one for the books and I will tell you what. Big screen TV and high def if you can.

This movie started with an interesting idea but that's about all it has going for it. The look is distracting at best, the acting is very flat (most likely a result of script or directing limitations and not a reflection on the actors) the movie just doesn't seem to know what it wants to be and thus goes in no direction. The whole thing seems like someone said hey lets break out the camcorders and make a movie this weekend, came up with a good title and a workable story idea and then just stopped thinking at that point. The dialog alone will probably be enough to get you to shut it off about ten minutes in, if not the poor visual execution will prevent you from making it much longer.

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 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.

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.
