Nobody Loves Alice (2008)

- written November 2008

Summary: Alice came into the world unloved. Bouncing from foster home to foster home she never experienced love in even the most basic of ways. As Alice changed from child into a woman she still failed to receive that fairytale romance she so desperately needed. Try as she may to find that love it seems to be just out of reach. As those poor misfortunate souls that fail to requite her love, they pay for it with a world of pain and torture. Alice’s story collides with one of her co-workers, Abigail. Abigail and her boyfriend, Alex, have that fairytale romance that Alice is so desperately trying to find. As Abigail catches onto her boyfriend s plan to propose, she comes up with a scheme to test her soon-to-be fiancée’s fidelity. And who better to play the bait in the scenario... Alice. Now, Alice finds herself face-to-face with the one thing she s always wanted-True love. As Alice becomes more disillusioned in her make believe world of true love she’ll stop at nothing to ensure nobody takes Alex from her. And Abigail finds herself on the brink of losing the man she loves. Or at least some of him...           Overall: I enjoyed the film. It’s got a slow start at first as you try and piece our characters together and figure out where the film is going but once it gets going, I think it keeps your attention. We’ve got a young girl who obviously finds it hard to keep men around otherwise she wouldn’t be tying them up. I think in many ways you know how the film is gonna go but I think the acting of “Alice” was done quite well enough to keep you surprised. She does a fascinating job in the role and makes up for some of the others. Overall we have some really good effects and gore. I think I wanted a bit more of the childhood of the girl but overall, a really good film here to get your hands on.           Comparison: Audition meets Misery
