Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

millersacrifice This a beautifully made movie and it was shot for an absurdly tiny sum. I met the creators while Alpha Girls was on tour. They are indie bros with a good sense of humor. I originally heard about them during through kickstarter where they raised most of the budget. If you don't like horror shlock I wouldn't recommend Alpha Girls. But if you do like b movies and the color pink I think you might enjoy it. I wish the badguy boyfriend died sooner. He sucked. The rest of the cast is mostly enjoyable. I liked Ron Jeremy, the demon, the boobs and sorority president. In that order.There's a fake documentary at the end of the movie that should really be at the beginning of the movie but it was my favorite part anyway.

bwing55543 It's finally out! Alpha Girls! The indie horror film from Philadelphia! I finally got to see it, thus proving the movie really exists! Alpha Girls follows Morgan (Falon Joslyn), a transfer student at a Philadelphia university rushing for the Alpha Beta sorority. Alpha Beta alumni are known to go onto become some of the most influential people. However, Morgan soon finds out that this power comes at a sinister price.And of course, the viewer finds out even sooner than Morgan did. The movie opened with a human sacrifice scene that occurred in 1896. The scene more or less destroyed any and all chance at subtlety to the movie and eliminated any possibility of a surprise. Since Alpha Girls released ample pre-release material, such as production photos, I kind of knew how the movie was going to play out, but I didn't know it would be spelled out as such right at the beginning.When Morgan arrives, she meets fellow pledges Cassidy (Beverly Rivera), April (Kara Zhang), and Juliet (Nicole Cinaglia). No sooner does she move in that the pledges are put through a rush regimen taken right out of Full Metal Jacket, complete with Gunnery Sergeant Hartman-wannabe President Veronica (Nikki Bell). Of course, things suddenly start to improve when Cassidy performed a satanic ritual that involved eating fish a la A Fish Called Wanda and jamming an ax into Veronica's chest, granting the pledges' wishes, such as improving April's grades or Juliet's financial situation.It's clear the writers were film buffs as Alpha Girls came jam packed with movie references, including an, "I find your lack of faith disturbing." Other than that, I really wished they had someone look at their script before they went shooting as the story's structure was an issue and much of the dialogue sounded stiff and unnatural.For the most part, the acting talent didn't do much to help. The sacrificial victim at the beginning of the movie was supposed to be crying, but she looked like she was laughing to me. I'm seriously impressed Beverly Rivera was able to say her lines with a straight face. IMDb users describe her as being creepy, but I honestly wanted to laugh when I saw her.Falon Joslyn gave a passable performance, but I was blown away by Kara Zhang's and Ron Jeremy's performances. Did I mention neither Zhang nor Jeremy got significant time on screen? The extra they hired to play a cashier at a mini-mart was probably a real cashier, but he couldn't even deliver those lines right.That said, Alpha Girls is a movie you need to see as a B-movie if you were to have any hope of enjoying it. I am aware this is a freshman effort on the parts of writer/directors Johnny Zito and Tony Trov. However, even Quentin Tarantino (who by the way won an Oscar for Django Unchained) is comfortable admitting he runs his script by people to check if the dialogue sounded good.The pacing was also quite uneven. The aforementioned sacrifice scene and the sort of "girls day out" where the pledges are out and about in Philadelphia were both scenes that could've been cut with no consequence to the story. I actually felt like many scenes were actually in the movie purely to pad its length, like when Morgan was in the arcade with JD (Victor Gennaro). That whole sequence just felt like it dragged on for far longer than it should have.Considering the obvious budgetary constraints though, I was actually impressed with the movie's technical competence. The special effects actually looked surprisingly good, and the cinematography (barring some minor bugs in editing) actually was decent. The blood wasn't exactly on par with Saving Private Ryan in terms of realism, but there was a lot of it, nearing the level of that of Saw 7.Overall, this is a movie that I would recommend if you felt like watching an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, except you didn't want to watch Mystery Science Theater 3000. Get some beer and some friends, and have fun ripping the movie to shreds! Again, it's a B-movie that was kind of gross, but never remotely truly scary. Poor Kara got washed out in a flood of bad dialogue and acting.

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.

sorjai 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.
