Decidedly not worthy of anyone's time

Deciding to watch this despite clear and emphatically poor reception felt like consciously punishing myself for the mixed bag represented in other titles I'd chosen in the same night. From the very, very beginning there is an absolute lack of subtlety in the screenplay (weak overall narrative, threadbare scene writing, thin characterizations, hackneyed dialogue), camerawork, direction, editing and transitions, arrangement of scenes, blood effects and gore, costume design, choreography, acting, and music. In every possible way the production feels purely amateurish - a first student film, perhaps, created by barely attentive beginners; a passion project among friends, except with scarcely any passion, fun, or active interest from anyone involved; or a schlocky, low-grade, themed porn flick, except without any nudity.

Considering the dialogue, the other features of filmmaker Dennis Devine, the wardrobe selections generally, and an early scene in which every female character is dressed only in a bikini - the latter comparison seems most apt.

'Alice in Murderland' is pointedly terrible, nearly entirely bereft of all value. There's infinitesimally little praise I can offer, but I find myself surprised that I've any at all. Against all odds, there's a single unexpected turn in the plot. There's an iota of cleverness in the sudden disappearances and reappearances of the "Cheshire Cat," Kat - though the underlying predictability is rotten. The characterizations of "Tweedledum" and "Tweedledee," or Donna and Dee, allow actresses Heath Butler and Jennifer Field to wholly lean into the vapid ignorance of the roles. And the latter lends to the single laugh that the entire movie provided in a small exchange of dialogue: "Where's Donna?" "Glued to the toilet." "Oh. Of course she is."

What's remarkable is that I gather a minor sense that the cast are genuinely capable actresses. Bad acting is one matter; acting under the strict terms and guidance of a director is another. The two are certainly distinct, and I'm inclined to think in this case the latter is true. Moreover, to glance at their collective credits reveals some tawdry nonsense much like Devine's oeuvre, yes, but also a number of recognizable films and series that can't be a mistake. To that point: The only reason I stumbled across this title in the first place was that I greatly admired the performance in the outstanding 2019 short film 'Nova' of Kelly Kula, and in browsing her credits, found she featured here as Kat. Yet suffice to say, 'Alice in Murderland' is a far cry from that fantastic horror short, or pretty much anything else. Devine's writing and direction forces everyone involved into such abjectly blunt, forthright, unsubtle, over the top, tacky performances that it's extremely difficult to truly distinguish, on the basis of this feature alone, who may or may not have real acting skill, were they given opportunity to demonstrate it.

I'll allow this: I don't know if Devine is just that awful of a filmmaker, or if every unseemly flaw of the picture is intentional. Considering how many other movies he's made, I suppose it's hard to think that he altogether doesn't know what he's doing. Yet if the horridly tedious pablum is knowing and willful, making a deliberately rancid movie - job well done, I guess, but why? To what purpose?

There is, I dare say, a tiny modicum of fun to be had in the final length of the feature, and again, there are a few elements that seem marginally worthwhile, at least by comparison. This isn't the absolute worst movie I've ever seen - but it's close enough. Any positivity is overwhelmed and subsumed in the grotesquely dull, possibly premeditated mediocrity that the film otherwise represents. What minuscule value one may find here is not worth sitting through these 90 minutes, especially not with so many other fine movies available to watch. A few pinpricks of light are not remotely enough to redeem the dark void of shallow, uninteresting, and vulgarly, garishly blatant rubbish that is 'Alice in Murderland.'

You've been warned.

I Just Do Not Give A Hoot

It is Alice's birthday and her sorority girlfriends throw her a themed party. Everyone comes as their favorite, sexy character from Wonderland. The Jabberwocky was not invited and brings murder and mayhem to the girls' night out.

I wish this was cool. I love Alice in Wonderland, and I wanted to like this at least a little bit, with the costumes and such. We definitely need a really good horror and Alice combination (remember that awesome video game?).

What we get is boring, low video quality and below average acting. Granted, I have seen much worse acting and and video quality, but at least these were not boring...

Alice in Murderland is Terror-ble

There hasn't been many movies I wanted to see at the multiplex lately so I am forced to watched movies at home. The latest being Alice in Murderland, with an intriguing title, and hopes that it would be reminiscent of the old PC game: American McGee's Alice. Those hopes were completely crushed right after those two seconds when I pressed PLAY on my remote.

The opening of the movie starts with some woman who reveals herself to be Alice's mother looking into buying a house. The woman selling her the house looks, well, like some biker chick. She doesn't seem too friendly with her even though Alice's mother has this wholesome joy to her as if she is always happy. Then the biker chick says, "Go down in the basement. There's a surprise." I was expecting to see a finished basement, but instead, it's some killer in a cloak beating her with an ax thus bringing us years later to see Alice.

We are first introduced to Alice being completely zoned out and babbling on how her mother was killed. Then we are greeted to some of the most banal dialogue like: ALICE: "I was just thinking about my mother. She died when she was 21 and I turn 21 this Saturday." Then we are introduced to the characters in this movie, and THERE IS NO ONE TO CARE ABOUT! I was hoping they would all die. There's even this gay teacher who is one of the girl's uncle that's only there to serve to make the audience question if he's the killer or not; otherwise he's just forgotten.

The whole plot point is that it's Alice's birthday and they all want to go to the Glass House (Looking Glass, get it?) to dress up as Alice in Wonderland characters. What's the purpose of this? Not even the writers know as there is nothing but cat fighting, pointless dialogue, and getting high. I can't really fault them on the idea, though, as I had Harry Potter parties myself. Yeah.

So basically it's a slasher film as each of these nasty group of characters gets offed one by one. Now since we the audience has been spoiled by memorable deaths over the years, how did the deaths in this one stack up? Not one single memorable death. Sure, the killer would change it up from a knife to an ax every now and then, but they are mostly forgettable. I will say that they are pretty funny when it happens. After one swing, they turn into bloody messes. There's even one scene where after one knife strike, the victim's innards fall out. I half-expected Machete to use it as a grappling hook.

In the end, there's a really dumb twist on who the killer is (who spends a few scenes dressed up in a ridiculous looking Jabberwockey costume) and a shockingly stupid ending. This film is made by Brain Damage Films, which must really explain the writing in this mess.
