Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Leofwine_draca ALPHA GIRLS: A SATANIC SORORITY SLASHER is a quite dreadful indie horror film. The title and subtitle tell you everything you need to know about this movie, which is long-winded and very silly from beginning to end. It's merely an excuse for the camera to ogle teenage girls while throwing in some very lame horror content now and then. The film is very cheaply made with lots of over the top dialogue and attempts at witty repartee that fail. It's all about bitchiness whereas the horror is virtually non-existent. Ron Jeremy has a campy cameo as a priest (!).

roughbrad Summary Spoilers... Nothing major.The Alpha Girls were super powerful witches once upon a time. Now they're all just spoiled rich girls with no idea of their legacy. Along comes Cassady, a new pledge, with a deeper understanding of the dark arts. After she gets her hands on a magical book full of the devil's words, all hell breaks loose.The cast was beautiful and my favorite scenes are the times all four main characters get to interact. The girls have very distinctive personalities and we get some time with each. So, when people start dying I really cared about them. My understanding is that this movie was made for no money. Regardless, the gore is great, totally sick and bloody. What little budget there was must have been spent on the final 15 minute climax, replete with digital effects. In general I applaud little flourishes in the art and wardrobe that made Alpha Girls feel huge.

James Turner I 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!

karrie411 Saw this movie at a screening in Chicago. Very impressed! I'm a horror movie fan and really like supporting independent efforts.A group of sorority girls try to make their dreams come true by pledging their allegiance to dark forces. That almost never works but you're treated to the mayhem that follows. The special effects were way better than I had imagined they would be. The acting is actually really good for the most part - especially Beverly Rivera, she rocks! Throw in Ron Jeremy, Schoolly D and a twist or two that you probably don't see coming and you've got a pretty awesome horror flick. Would definitely recommend this flick so if its coming to/near your city, you should check it out.
