“I had only heard about this film playing the local art-house just the night before and wanted to check it out if for no other reason than to see what I expected to be a fun nod to the 80u0026#39;s in town that (finally) wasnu0026#39;t some formulaic slasher-kill-teenagers flick with yet another obligatory cameo by Tony Todd, Robert Englund, or Kane Hodder (much as I respect those actors). My assumption going in was that it would likely be a low budget film hiring strippers to u0026quot;actu0026quot; and would most likely be cheesy, but fun. What I got in return made me feel like an asshole for even thinking this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlpha Girls was one of the funnest lower-budget films I have seen in ages and was more finely executed than any time Iu0026#39;ve ever seen someone try to make a horror film with familiar themes. The actresses were all great, the story-telling very solid, the directing top-notch, and the editing very stylish! Even when it comes time to make a nod at the cheesiness we all love about 80u0026#39;s horror, there is absolutely nothing amateurish about this film, even more impressive given its budget and shooting-time limitations! What really impressed me most, I think were how well the characters came off in the film, and while perhaps no oneu0026#39;s going for an academy award here, you definitely donu0026#39;t want to see the cast killed off from the beginning–there was nothing stupid about any of these characters or performances, I would say. With touches of the Craft, Night of the Demons, and Sorority House Massacre, if youu0026#39;re looking for something fun an entertaining to check out, this is a fine way to spend 90 minutes!”
