Nobody Loves Alice (2008 Video)
3/10
This isn't a horror film. More like a drama.

This movie could of been way better then it was. First off labeling this as a horror film is just wrong. There's nothing horror about it. It had great potential to being a horror movie but it completely fell short of being. Except for a few quick and I mean quick violent shots there wasn't anything appealing going on. The story was dry. If the movie focused more on Alice's twisted obsessions and less on one particular victim it would of really helped this movie along. Instead you get to listen to a loved one of the victim complain about how she can't find him for an hour. The cinematic were OK. Some of the shot positions helped the gore scenes stand out but they were so few it was disappointing. The score has a nice horror feel to it. It would of been great on a slasher flick but on this film it was unfitting. There were quite a few scenes where the score gives a suspenseful build up leaving you on the edge of your seat then absolutely nothing happens leaving you feeling disappointed. The cast seem so casted off the street. The acting wasn't horrible but the actors look so plain. Bad skin, buck teeth, nappy hair, there wasn't a looker in the bunch that's for sure. I guess that kind of gives the film a more realistic feel to it. What's creepy is I've run into women who are just like how Alice acts in public. Dorky, shy, quiet, loner. Makes you wonder if they're like her when they get home. What I found stupid about this film is that people were standing around talking about Alice "behind her back" not wanting her to know what they're saying and she'll be standing like 5 feet away staring at them as they talk out loud about how they think she's up to something. Like she's not even there. Bad character placement if you ask me. I'd pass on this film.
