Alicia I love this movie so much

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

boogie67 "5ive Girls" is such a run of the mill supernatural film that the concept never really garnered any interest my way. The characters are all so interchangeable and forgettable. One can walk through walls, one can heal through touch and yet I really couldn't point out which girl had which power if you asked me to. The sad fact is that the film really sells itself as a hip Gothic parade of black magic and evil and yet has the lagging pace of "Whispering Corridors." Sonoda's direction really doesn't add much to the lagging proceedings in the end, and in spite of all the attempts to spin the formula, this story has been done and much better. In a reform school of apparently only five girls, they do nothing but yap back and forth with no real substance or interesting exchanges, and the visions continue just to remind us that we're watching a horror film. We already know who the demonic entity challenging them is, and we're well aware that the girl power message will strive to defeat the demon in the end; "5ive Girls" holds no surprises, unless you've never seen the cinematic depiction of ritual humiliation of semi-clad, nubile teen-aged girls before.

jonathanruano Writer-director Warren Sonoda's "5ive girls" has an intriguing premise. Five "bad" girls, led by Alex (Jennifer Millar) and the lesbian Mara (Jennifer Madley), are sent to a reformatory, where presumably they are going to be turned into good girls. But instead, they are subjected to bizarre and often sadistic treatment at the hands of head mistress Miss Pierce (Amy Lalonde). Along the way, they also learn Latin, discover a ghost and eventually realize that they are intended victims of a diabolical plot.Sounds interesting, but the problem is that there is no pay off at the end. Watching all these twists and turns and the clues along the way, you would think the film's dark secret would be complex, shocking and intellectually satisfying. But it wasn't. The ending turned out to be a real cop out -- and a very boring one at that -- as the film went from being a mystery with fascinating possibilities to a simple action/horror flick with the familiar blood and gore and nudity.This failing would not have been as important, if we actually sympathized with the five girls in this picture. Unfortunately, one is not really given a good reason to care whether they live or die. The script is probably to blame in part for our indifference, though the poor performances were an important reason too. Ron Perlman's Father Drake is probably the best thing in this picture, but sadly we do not see much of him. So the film ends up being dominated by actors who we could not care less about.Finally, the violence does not seem justified in this picture. It seems to be there solely for shock value and perhaps reflects the director's futile hope that nudity, blood and gore will be confused with quality viewing. He is sorely mistaken.

onosideboard Similar concept, at least... five girls uniting their unique powers for a common purpose. Here, it's to ward off some kind of demon.I'm not going to bother going over the plot--that's what the plot outline is for. Rather, I will say that the production value was high, the five young women played their roles very well, the story moved quickly, and there was some surprisingly good dialogue every once in a while (humorous, reminiscent of Buffy the Vampire Slayer dialogue).That said, a lot of the script was terrible. Plot holes, inconsistencies, and cheesy lines. It's almost as if two completely different people wrote the script: one wrote the scenes between the girls and the other wrote the "action" scenes. There's not a lot of gore, but a couple of "supernatural" special effects were borderline cool/cheesy.The movie is entertaining, the cast is easy on the eyes (Ron Perlman aside), there aren't any twists or psych-outs. It's a decent flick and worth watching, especially if you're a fan of the "girls kick supernatural butt" genre.

nb2 Not the most original of concepts but made very watchable by seven of the most beautiful young actress ever captured in a single movie! Unusually for this genre, there is virtually no nudity and not much gore but these young actors are sexy as hell and they can all act. Jennifer Miller is stunning to look at and photographs really well while Amy Lalonde is beautiful and extremely sexy. Krysta Carter has looks that could stop the world. Every one of them showed real talent in their contrasting styles. School uniforms and Amy giving Jennifer an almighty spanking with skirt raised! Owch!! Looked quite real, followed by Jennifer on her tummy and the excellent Jordan Madley using her healing hand to make Jen's sore bottom better and the marks go away.Great fun!
