Watch Alyce Kills For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Purely Joyful Movie!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Every scene is almost pitch black or lit from overhead through a porthole. Either that or they live in a cave. Extreme closeups w super short focal length so everything except the face in extreme closeup is out of focus. It's just an annoying one trick. You could easily replace 90% of the movie by leaving the lens cap on.For the story? Alyce is a straight up whackjob. Whether it's the binge drinking or the drugs or she fell out her mama that way, who knows? Who cares? She's an annoying a-hole either. But the good thing is that there's not a single character who doesn't really need to have their head beat in with a hammer.

I wasn't too impressed with this one. I felt that a lot of the cinematography was lacking for an effectively shot film for the viewer to enjoy. Too many dark sequences when characters were not properly lit. If done on purpose, it was a poor choice. The technical aspect of making the film is probably the biggest. Aside from the lighting, what about the sound mix? Why is it almost DEAD QUIET in the bar / club when a band is playing and there are dozens of people. Everything is the background is muted and THAT really took me out of it because it was obvious they wanted you to focus on the banal dialogue. The film sure takes awhile before it gets going, all I knew about the flick was that Alyce Kills....get it?. The reason for her descent into this madness was not justified to me. People might be more impressed with the first 3/4's of the film, but I rather enjoyed it when she gave in to the murderous impulses, as weak as they were. The scenes where she goes after people who've wronged her were the best parts. To me, the film took too long to get to the interesting parts. It drags. Gore factor? Not much here. It's mainly the "aftermath" we see lots of blood, but it doesn't really spill, it's just on the floor. A good sight gag that I enjoyed is when Vince went to call someone while hanging onto his guts, once he reached for the phone, his guts fell out. I feel like this film needed a bit more of that for me personally to enjoy it. I will say this though, it had a great ending. There were a few scenes that I thought were weird and definitely piqued my interest, all of which happen AFTER she has lost her mind. The war masturbation, Necrophilia boob touching and weird sex fight. These scenes are not the norm and when a film does something odd, it catches my attention. Unfortunately these scenes are not enough to save the film as a whole.

"Alyce" is directed by Jay Lee and stars Jade Dornfeld, Tamara Feldman, James Duval and Eddie Rouse. The story follows two best friends reconnecting after a small period of "too close for comfort" in their relationship. However after accidentally pushing best friend Carroll off the roof of a building Alyce finds her world crumbling fast. It isn't long until she spirals into a reality of darkness filled with drugs, reckless sex and homicidal impulses. The film is a dark satire and utter gorefest as viewed through Alyce's perspective. "Alyce" is a unique blend of art-house expressionism and surrealism. It is a very dark comedy that plays with the whole "Single White Female" personality disorder pushing the scenario beyond the traditional outcome. The film takes a very quirky off-beat approach that reminds me of Todd Solondz's or Alexander Payne but with a lot of gore and blood. The character of Alyce is one of the most twisted sisters that I have seen in cinema in a long while that is as likable as she is horrifying. The movie starts casually, building on the close yet distant emotional relationship between the friends. It is close in the fact that in the beginning they really do seem to be the only one each other can connect with and yet distant due to the fact that Alyce tends to absorb Carroll's personality traits to become her own in that "unsettling- uncomfortable" manner. The series of events that unfold after the tragedy and Alyce's fall from her own state of normalcy is one that both entertains and chills. It is one of the most disturbing slides into madness I have seen on film. I really found no fault in the movie and enjoyed every gory psychotic hot-mess act of homicidal mania that Alyce displayed. Plus the gore and bloody kill shots were pretty d*mn cool and gruesomely in your face.

This film started out promising... production values, acting, script were first-rate, and then it suddenly took a left turn a third of the way through and went in four different directions. Was this a film about a woman becoming psychotic from her solitary existence as well the guilt re: her friend's death (why didn't she just tell the police the truth? It was an accident, not a murder), a film about drug abuse, a slasher film, or - all of the above? And, if so, what was the point? For some reason, Alyce's personality completely changes after her friend's accident and she becomes aggressive, angry and sadistic... with no explanation of what happened to cause that. The film continued to disappointingly lose its focus the longer the running time increased and I was finally left during the end credits pondering just what it was all about or what it had possibly been trying to say. A character study, perhaps? It seemed like a half-developed script that had really no place to go.Addendum: Just did some quick research on the director, Jay Lee, and was surprised to learn he'd made "Zombie Strippers," which I thought was a camp masterpiece. What happened?
