Alpha Girls (2013)

I caught this flick as part of a midnight marathon in Nashville. It's a great horror film that keeps the audience guessing and builds to an epic conclusion.Alpha Girls really reminded me of movies like Carrie because much of the horror endured by the protagonists comes from within their social circle. There are the required number of blood and booby shots; but the sorority hazing made my skin crawl the most.The performance by Nikki Bell as the sorority president is particularly memorable. Her cupie doll features betray the filth that spews out of her mouth. She has some of the nastiest lines and she delivers them with real hatred. I hated myself for loving her so much.Ron Jeremy as a priest was fun but not the first time I've seen it done. Although, here it's not played for laughs. While I couldn't help smirking, I appreciated that the filmmakers didn't wink at the camera or anything so goofy. Instead, the story kept rolling and I was immediately re-immersed in the plot.If you have a chance, I highly recommend Alpha Girls for fans of 80's slasher movies and indie horror films.

Alpha Girls is A fun and nostalgic time hearkening back to the cult films of the 70's and 80's with influences spanning from Francis Ford Coppola to Dario Argento. What is abundantly clear is knowledge that this creative team has for the art of film making. For a film that was shot on such a small budget the production has a unique and defined look and feel. Shooting on the Red One and the HD-DSLR cameras gave this film a extensive visual range from up close and intimate to sweeping shots of the city of Philadelphia. The story starts off with introducing the germ of an idea and fallows it unto completion. Go see it.

Sort of a low budget Jon Waters sorority girl slasher based in Philadelphia. The movie seems to be self aware of it's campiness. That being a good or bad thing is up to the viewer. The girls are funny and the dude is a douche. The blonde is a bitch and the pledges kill her. Tie in some Evil Dead voodoo, a mind control battle and zombie sorority girls, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a movie like this. Lots of references to other horror films. The Ron Jeremy bit is definitely a highlight of the movie but it's an oddly serious scene. The boobies in the beginning of the film were awesome. Schoolly D the rapper is in the film but doesn't rap. Which is weird. I give it 8 Stars.

I'm not really big horror movie fan but anyways I though I'd write a review and support local Philly film.Basically "Alpha Girls" is the quintessential campy horror film you never thought you'd see, but if "campy" is supposed to be a derogatory term, it certainly ain't a bad thing in this case. I think that if you can stand a lil' gore and you like watching chicks battle it out, Greek style, you will really enjoy this film. Unlike most horror films, which involves guys, this film has only one guy character - the rest are all girls.Now I ain't a feminist or anything like that but I think that this shows a good step forward for women in films. I'm a guy but I really enjoyed this film. It's clichéd, campy, and done before but it's never been done like this. I say y'all gotta catch a screening when it comes to your city or when it comes out on DVD or Netflix or whatever else they got these days.
