Alice in Terrorland

"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.

Another horror movie that I hadn't heard about prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And with it being a horror movie that I had never seen nor heard of, of course I had to sit down and watch it. Horror is my go-to genre for entertainment, so of course there was no doubt about me sitting down to watchng what writer and director Richard John Taylor had to deliver here.

However, from the glorious 3.2 rating here on IMDb, which was the rating when I sat down to watch the movie, I have to say that I wasn't exactly harboring much of any expectations or hopes to the movie. But still, I opted to watch it on the off chance that the movie might actually be entertaining to me.

The storyline in "Alice in Terrorland" was somewhat of a swing and a miss in terms of properly entertaining me. Sure, there were aspects to it that proved good, but the overall impression of the narrative was not something that I found to be overly enjoyable or entertaining. So it was a bit of a struggle to sit through the movie. And truth be told, the pacing of the narrative was rather monotonous and bland, which resulted in a somewhat boring viewing experience.

Sure, I will give writer Richard John Taylor points for managing to take Lewis Carroll's classic tale and spin a modern twist on it. Just a shame that it failed to properly entertain me.

I was not familiar with anyone on the cast list, and that is actually something that I do enjoy when I sit down and watch a movie. The acting performances in the movie were good, though I have to say that I couldn't point anyone out for putting on a memorable performance.

Visually then I will say that the movie was fair. The props, wardrobes, etc. Looked good and had a certain atmospheric feel to it that definitely added something to the overall impression of the movie.

Now, I am sure that there is an audience out there for a bizarre movie such as what "Alice in Terrorland" turned out to be. So give it a chance, if you find odd movies to be your thing.

My rating of "Alice in Terrorland" lands on a three out of ten stars.

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.

Me and my friend watched Alice in Terrorland primarily for the reason that Jon Paul Gates, who is an icon, is in it. That was our first mistake, the film is extremely dull and forgettable. With few scares and even fewer Jon Paul Gates (so sad!) What it does have going for it is its pretty good cinematography and interesting colour scheme.

The plot is confusing and unexciting, but at least they tried more than the average low budget horror flick of "this is a spooky house, here are some ghosts, be scared!" I liked the costumes in part too. But these few positives can't excuse such a dull, forgettable and lackluster film.

3/10: Such a dull film can't even justify its short run time.

Terrible, a mere waste of time and money. Wish i read the reviews before entering the theater. I was looking for a thriller/horror to enter with my wife, sadly there was no other movie and i was too lazy to read reviews before entering as there was nothing else to compare it to. 77 minutes later with nothing at all to discuss.

The acting was terrible, the effects were more like filters, the plot was too dull and finally the dialogue was full of itself for no reason.

Q: do you want to have a good time and may be some good memories about a movie?

A: see something else, literally anything other than this have a extremely significant chance in bringing you joy and delight.
