Alice no País das Trevas

This is the movie that should enforce the development of a " DO NOT WATCH " list on the Internet.

I watched it with a group of 7 friends and i kid you not half of them left during the first 10 minutes of the movie. If i were to direct this movie i wouldn't offer it to a dog let alone to actual cinemas. It was a disgrace to my eyes, ears, wallet, time, and body watching that movie. The plot line is so bland and meaningless, the movie has no motivation behind it, it is so low budget i can probably do a better remake with an iphone and my living room. The setting is completely centered around a single place which revolves around a single character that converses with a new person every 5 minutes about things that do not build up on the events that happened before. The director or whoever came up with the idea of this pointless movie should pursue another job. I am surprised it got a rating on IMDb when there is nothing good about the movie. Remove it from cinemas before people start blinding their own selves. Worst movie in cinematic history, if the inventor of cameras had watched this he probably wouldn't have invented cameras.

Overall rating: -7.2/10.

This is apparently some film school dropout's final project. They TRY to be "artsy" throughout the whole thing. It starts out with three rapid fire scenes with no context. Then we are "treated" to a monochromatic kaleidoscope of fractal images with some trippy music in the background. I swear, if I'd had some LSD, I'd have at least been in the right mood.

All these dropouts seem to think that slow motion builds tension. It is an overused trope that every one of these art projects over use. I'm serious... I have seen molasses flowing up hill in January at a faster pace than this... movie. There is one scene where Alice is literally slow motion crawling across the floor for a GOOD five minutes. If they had run all of the slow motion scenes at normal speed, the movie would have been at least half an hour shorter. Not a lie.

Then, as is the case with every single modern "movie," the entire thing is filmed with two candles and a 4 watt night light bulb. I swear... what is it with this freaking trend?! You might as well make it a radio play for all you can actually see.

I'll bet you want to know about the plot, though, don't you? Yeah... you and me both. The entire thing is a really bad retelling of "Alice in Wonderland" with a twist you can see coming a mile away.

There is an adult, x-rated version of "Alice in Wonderland" - a musical at that! - from 1976 that has a better story line, better acting (and better lighting) than this trainwreck of a "movie."

While it was great seeing Rula Lenska* in a choice role pulling out all the stops, the production is a dreary misfire, full of imagery that bores rather than intrigues. A half hour's with of story is dragged out to a length that felt far longer than the running time. If you care to watch, fast forward to all of Lenska's scenes. The rest is, sadly, not to be recommended.

*I was a member of the Rula Lenska Fan Club here in the United States, a kind of parody of fan clubs since Lenska was only known for her Alberto VO5 TV ads in which she introduced herself, "I'm Rula Lenska," to a befuddled but bemused American public that had never heard of her before-her lack of notoriety became, itself, a sensation and a punch line for late night comedians like Carson. What the RLFC did successfully, with tongue in cheek, was humanize the actress with bits of news and background. Lenska already had a career overseas, so we heard about that too. I drifted away as I grew older and the novelty wore off. Lenska didn't catch on in a big way in the States, and years went by. First with video and flash forward to now with streaming, vintage overseas entertainment has thankfully become ever more readily available.

I went to watch this movie with my dad and my sister (we're horror movie lovers) the movie was poorly structured, production was nice but the flow of the movie was poor and boring and made no sense. The ending was absolutely terrible and it really was a waste of time and money. There were a total of maybe 2 good jump scares and the scenery was a bit thrilling but the events were boring and lead to absolutely nothing. My arab dad absolutely hated the movie and regrets the $30 he spent today. I personally don't think the movie was that horrible (i enjoyed the production and the scenery and the way it made me feel but i did not enjoy the events or the flow of the movie especially not the ending). Watch literally any other movie, don't waste your time.

"Alice in Terrorland" is another adaptation of a children's novel to the horror genre, and the result is terrible. Speaking of the art direction and cinematography, the result is pleasant, but the director's work is bad, it seems non-existent, the actors try to give good performances but the terrible script fails to favor them. The costume design is simple, the soundtrack goes completely unnoticed and the horror and suspense elements are non-existent. The film totally fails in quality, in addition to being a sleeping pill throughout its duration. "Alice in Terrorland" will be remembered, but as one of the worst horror films in history.
