... View Morealpha girls 2013 is a comedy horror film it surprises on many levels then much bigger production films that Hollywood churns out this low budget film is a proof that you don't need loads of money to tell a good story.there is a documentary from history channel that runs through the credits scene that tells alpha girls is a secret society and it created a controversy and a lot of famous people were involved into it,i didn't knew this until i saw this film whatever witchcraft stories or this documentary or any other thing is separate from this films story.the plot:the girls who live in sorority house takes revenge on veronica for what shes doing to them as Cassidy becomes possessed and worships dark demons to fulfill her desires and leaving others to face severe consequences.the cast:Falon Joslyn & Beverly Rivera are two hot girls that got me hooked until the end with there good acting skills and sexy looks.this film gives messages about God,faith,religion and devil worshipers who do wrong stuff but its not to be taken that seriously i did enjoyed it for what it was it includes gore,suspense and some funny comedy.overall my rating for Alpha Girls 2013 is 5/10 its a film worth watching at least once just keep expectations below.its recommended
... View MoreAlpha Girls screened at an art house theater nearby and I took a chance. Not a huge horror fan but I do like a good, cheap night of fun. The movie opens with a particularly sadistic murder and I was afraid the next 90 minutes I'd be stuck watching one senseless death after another. It turns out Alpha Girls was more like Carrie than it is like Saw.If we're just talking about plot then AG presses all the right buttons. You're subjected to some emotional scaring by the worst sorority sisters in history. The torture Veronica and her pink cronies inflict on the hapless new pledge class is humiliating, particularly the hazing scene in the basement with the hot iron brand shaped like a pentagram.I couldn't help wonder what sort of people are so desperate to be included that they'd degrade themselves like this. Somewhere around the third act the victims transform into the monsters. It's both satisfying and sad to see them get their revenge.The ending hints at a sequel and a post-credit short movie reveals a hidden twist!
... View MoreI had only heard about this film playing the local art-house just the night before and wanted to check it out if for no other reason than to see what I expected to be a fun nod to the 80's in town that (finally) wasn't some formulaic slasher-kill-teenagers flick with yet another obligatory cameo by Tony Todd, Robert Englund, or Kane Hodder (much as I respect those actors). My assumption going in was that it would likely be a low budget film hiring strippers to "act" and would most likely be cheesy, but fun. What I got in return made me feel like an asshole for even thinking this.Alpha Girls was one of the funnest lower-budget films I have seen in ages and was more finely executed than any time I've ever seen someone try to make a horror film with familiar themes. The actresses were all great, the story-telling very solid, the directing top-notch, and the editing very stylish! Even when it comes time to make a nod at the cheesiness we all love about 80's horror, there is absolutely nothing amateurish about this film, even more impressive given its budget and shooting-time limitations! What really impressed me most, I think were how well the characters came off in the film, and while perhaps no one's going for an academy award here, you definitely don't want to see the cast killed off from the beginning--there was nothing stupid about any of these characters or performances, I would say. With touches of the Craft, Night of the Demons, and Sorority House Massacre, if you're looking for something fun an entertaining to check out, this is a fine way to spend 90 minutes!
... View MoreI was lucky enough to catch this movie and Southwork, the band who scored the film, last night as it played in Knoxville.A lot of other reviewers note the campiness of the movie, but I didn't see what they did. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I think of the Adam West Batman series, Rocky Horror or even Return of the Living Dead when I think "campy" and I just didn't see that here. Don't take that to mean this is a movie that has no sense of humor, it does, but it also has one hell of a mean streak. That isn't a bad thing.Alpha Girls looks a lot bigger than a lot of movies with much larger budgets. Decent sets, costumes and some of the effects helped achieve that bigger feel. Intentional or not, the movie does have a bit of an 80's throwback feel and I'm OK with that either way. The acting is a little hit or miss, but is fine overall. Other than a "girls day out" scene that feels a little long, the movie is well paced. My biggest gripe would be some of the digital effects used feel less like a part of the scene and have a "pasted on" type of look.Overall, I had a good time watching this and would encourage anyone that enjoys a little satanism with their sorority girls or fun horror movies in general to check this out if the tour hits your town.Seeing what can be achieved with so little is promising for low budget films in general, but I look forward to seeing what these guys do next.
