Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

David Holt (rawiri42) I actually found "Nobody Loves Alice" in a box of trash that someone was throwing out and, since I had some time to kill, decided to watch it.Whilst I couldn't say it is a movie I would have bought, it wasn't all that bad either. Another reviewer has commented that all the actors are "plain" and that there isn't a "looker" among them - but I didn't see that as a bad thing. It has often annoyed me how some movies are chock full of gorgeous people and there isn't an ugly or overweight person in sight. That isn't the real world! Alice is about a mentally disturbed young woman who works in an office with ordinary colleagues, two of whom are typically stupid post-adolescent girls who seem to be obsessed with their boyfriends' sexual prowess and loyalty. Similarly, said boyfriends are mainly occupied with comparing "scores" in their sexual exploits.Thus, when one of the girls, Abigail suspects that her boyfriend, Alex is about to propose to her, her friend Megan, in a totally unproductive effort to stir up trouble, tells her that, given the appropriate situation, Alex would cheat on her "because ALL men cheat." She persists until Abigail reluctantly agrees to test Megan's theory out and they recruit Alice, who Alex hasn't met, to attempt to seduce him. But Alex sees through the plan and, just to make Abigail suffer for her mistrust, drives off with Alice - even though he knows Abigail is watching.However, when Alex and Alice get to her apartment, she tricks him into coming in by "forgetting" to return his phone which she borrowed in the car. And that's when things go pear-shaped! I won't go into detail of what happens next other than to say that the viewers' intelligence is somewhat challenged when Alex suffers horrendous physical damage but still remains conscious and alert where loss of blood and traumatic shock would have rendered most people comatose if not dead.There are other scenes where people don't behave the way that people would typically behave and that is also annoying. But the climax where Abigail behaves exactly as I would have behaved is most satisfying! (And then she spoils it by not releasing Alex's hands immediately!)

andyrose_tx First and foremost, before I get into the review of this film, I have to say something: Just because you watched the film, did not like it, and have little good to say about it does not mean the positive reviews are fake. So get off your high and mighty horse and recognize that your opinion is your opinion. Shame on you for suggesting opinions different than yours are fake or shill.Now on to the review: I enjoyed this film. It was a slow-burn horror film. I thought the acting was incredible. The camera-work was well done and the lighting was good. The story was troubling and dark. I watched this film in anticipation of the next scene throughout the film. Yes, it was predictable but honestly, what horror film isn't these days? The story was a bit of a retelling of May and Misery, but enough differed to make it worth watching. For those who like their films full of zombies, werewolves, or fast-moving slashers with high body counts, this film will bore you. But if you like variety in your horror you'll find this cerebral film different and much more enjoyable than any of the remakes and reimaginings done on budgets far greater than Nobody Loves Alice.

timb75 This movie could of been way better then it was. First off labeling this as a horror film is just wrong. There's nothing horror about it. It had great potential to being a horror movie but it completely fell short of being. Except for a few quick and I mean quick violent shots there wasn't anything appealing going on. The story was dry. If the movie focused more on Alice's twisted obsessions and less on one particular victim it would of really helped this movie along. Instead you get to listen to a loved one of the victim complain about how she can't find him for an hour. The cinematic were OK. Some of the shot positions helped the gore scenes stand out but they were so few it was disappointing. The score has a nice horror feel to it. It would of been great on a slasher flick but on this film it was unfitting. There were quite a few scenes where the score gives a suspenseful build up leaving you on the edge of your seat then absolutely nothing happens leaving you feeling disappointed. The cast seem so casted off the street. The acting wasn't horrible but the actors look so plain. Bad skin, buck teeth, nappy hair, there wasn't a looker in the bunch that's for sure. I guess that kind of gives the film a more realistic feel to it. What's creepy is I've run into women who are just like how Alice acts in public. Dorky, shy, quiet, loner. Makes you wonder if they're like her when they get home. What I found stupid about this film is that people were standing around talking about Alice "behind her back" not wanting her to know what they're saying and she'll be standing like 5 feet away staring at them as they talk out loud about how they think she's up to something. Like she's not even there. Bad character placement if you ask me. I'd pass on this film.

dschmeding "Nobody loves Alice" could have been a decent loooow budget movie. While most movies with such a small budget fail because of the bad acting I was pleasantly surprised to find some pretty believable main actors here. Foremost the main character Alice who is played in a really cute and lovely way by totally unknown actress Nitzan Mager. While this is filed in horror it rather reminds me of May which also got into that wrong drawer. Both movies are rather on the psychological drama side but "Nobody loves Alice" is way slower in its development with long shots and little music. The basic plot is about a girl who got detached from the real world because of events in her childhood ... she desperately tries to find love and if she doesn't get it she captures it and binds her "lover" to a bed where she can torture him if he doesn't love her the way she wants. After all the movie is set in very little locations, everything is filmed pretty close up with nearly no wide shots which makes the movie seem a little narrow, anyway the actors save a lot here. I could also look across the annoying use of piano music which at times is edited rather clumsy... but where this movie falls flat on its face is the paper thin plot. The movie starts, Alice is there, some flashback introduce her as a child and what we later learn about the events in her childhood doesn't come close to how psychological the movie wants to be. So the movie basically deals with Alice capturing the fiancé of a girl in the office she works at (and the work surrounding really is way unbelievable...) and people getting on her tracks... ultimately leading to some blood and a real annoying end that looks like they didn't know how to get out of that script. Its really a shame for the good acting and the interesting lead character but the unfolding story is the lamest thing about it all and pulls it down in the end. Sure they manage to keep some suspense among the really slow pacing of the movie but it just leads nowhere. If you liked May and have a heart for equal movies but on a shoestring budget give it a try but there's just too many weaknesses on many levels here.
