Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Michael Ledo His is a plot explanation spoiler review in case you haven't figured things out from the early clues, but not plot spoiler per se.A large brothel was home to Alice a rebellious prostitute and committed suicide. Four generations later the family still owns the house and a party ensues of four guys and prostitutes. One woman supplies the party with LSD, which is delivered through the whisky which has a note "see you on the other side" some buzz words for acid users, i.e. Doors "Break on Through to the Other Side." A story is then planted in everyone's mind about Alice D which sounds a lot like LSD, get it...which unfortunately they couldn't create a decent movie around the pun no better than Joan or Arcadia.The question as to how real is the ghost they briefly see or is it hallucination.On a side note about LSD: placing it in a bottle is bad business as there is no way to measure dosage which is tough enough to begin with. The second aspect is that anyone who has done LSD, knows what the onset feels like (tingling at base of skull) and also know when they are on it. You just don't suddenly start to "see things." In fact most of the time you don't see things, you just think everything is funny...especially MST 3000 designed for acid users. I hate it when people who have heard one Grateful Dead song, think they know all about acid trips.Guide: sex, brief rape, nudity.
ghostberry There is something really annoying in this movie, beside the sheer fact that it exists. So this guy throws a wild party, but trust me when I say, this is the most boring party ever. Why? No freaking music. The sound manager botched the movie even more by amplifying the noises (kisses, walking sounds, hitting) while the dialogue is toned down. Very unprofessional. Then we come to the acting. I give it a solid F. Effects are non-existent. The guy in charge of killings is obviously very shy cuz all killings happen off-screen. Then they show you the bodies smeared with cheap ketchup. Well, I barely finished watching this movie, and already having trouble remembering much, so I'll draw the line here. If you respect and value your time, skip that floater.
lawgirlnyc The basic premise is prostitute offs herself then haunts the former brothel, now mansion. The mansion is owned by the former brothel owner. He's young(ish), arrogant, and decides to have a wild party in the house with his buddies and *ahem* 'dancers.' That's about as far as I got. The movie was unwatchable. It was like watching extremely boring porn, without the actual porn. The acting is terrible, the script is terrible. Just awful. I guess the high-ish (much too high for what it is) rating is due to friends of the film makers giving absurdly high ratings. I PAID for this on Amazon. Don't make the same mistake! Your time and/or money will be wasted.
bookito I do not know how this movie have such high rating. I started watching it and have to stop with boredom. The acting is awfully bad, I mean BAD, the story sucks and I guess only some nudity makes the movie more interesting for some people but, please believe me watch or try to watch this movie at your own risk I hope this gets the stars that it deserve even I suppose that friends and people involved in this movie will intoxicate the ratings sooner or later. this is the plot:In the late 1890s the Davenport House was a famous and successful brothel, until a young prostitute named Alice killed herself there. After her death, the brothel became haunted by Alice's ghost, and was eventually abandoned. More than a century later, the old structure is renovated into a beautiful mansion.
