Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, at least the movie tried, although it didn't really impress on any accounts. And if you have seen "The Craft" from 1996, then you essentially also have already seen "Alpha Girls"The story told in "Alpha Girls" is about a mysterious coven of practitioners of black magic who reside on a college campus ground, where their secret is kept tugged away. But when a group of pledges go too far and call upon the Lord of Darkness, infernal gates are swung wide open and the promise of power, lure of wealth and social acceptance proves to be the invitation to a road of witchcraft, mortal danger and betrayal.Storywise, then "Alpha Girls" didn't really bring anything new to the horror genre, and there weren't really any overly impressive scenes throughout the entire movie. For a movie set within the black magic horror genre, then "Alpha Girls" failed to stand out.The acting was wooden and forced in most cased, although a few people did manage to pull off their performances well enough. Although this was far from enough to salvage the rest of the movie.For a movie running for 90 minutes, then surprisingly little happened, and as such, it became a bore and a drag to sit through the entire movie - especially when having seen the 1996 movie "The Craft" already; a movie which far outshines "Alpha Girls". And that is quite some statement, because "The Craft" wasn't even all that great to begin with.All throughout the movie, there is an ever constant presence of a sensation which leads you to wonder 'what was the purpose of this movie?' And when you thought things couldn't possible sink any lower, enter Ron Jeremy as a priest in a confessional booth. Are you kidding? That was just the straw which caused the entire movie to go from bad to worse."Alpha Girls" is a fairly boring and slow-paced horror movie, which tries to incorporate elements from various genres into a mix that ultimately didn't work out well.Watched, bagged and tagged, this movie receives a 3 out of 10 stars rating from me, and even so, I feel rather generous. Once this movie has been watched, I guarantee you that you will not be making a second trip back to this movie.

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.

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.

juliechen I was lucky enough to catch a screening of this film in Philadelphia before it makes its journey on a thirty-city tour up and down the east coast and into the Midwest. One thing I really appreciate about "Alpha Girls" is that it is an independent film through and through. Its homegrown Philadelphia roots can be clearly seen in the movie and it makes the film only that much more authentic and enjoyable. I'll cut to the chase: the plot isn't the most original or innovative, but what "Alpha Girls" does well is making us actually enjoy every clichéd horror film plot ploy it uses. How is this possible? I'm not quite sure myself. I've seen the movie twice and each time I walk out kind of bewildered, not knowing exactly quite what I saw. However, "Alpha Girls" is like one of those standard amusement park game rides: you know you've seen it before, but you still want to ride it, and you end up having a great time. I know that just by reading the plot description, you may be thinking, "Isn't every horror movie like this? Why should I waste my time watching this?" and what I want to say is that if you have a bit of faith and jump into this movie with little or no expectations, you will have a great time. I do have to preface and warn people that the movie can be bloody. Children might not appreciate the gore. Even I sometimes didn't appreciate the gore. But it's okay to turn your eyes away, because you know when to expect the gore. If you take it all in stride, I know you will have a bloody good time watching "Alpha Girls."
