Pleasently suprising!,

This review is from: 5ive Girls (DVD)
I bought 5ive Girls because I am a horror fanatic and I've been striking out recently looking for low budget movies for a change instead of the big budget ones like some of this years that have really missed their mark.
5ive Girls does what it says on the tin, introduces you to 5 lovely ladies each with a uniquie gift trapped in a Catholic school for unruly girls. Governed by a sadistic headmistress, watched over by our very own lovable Reverend Ron Perlman and of chased by a rather nasty Demon. The storyline is excellent for a low budget and each member of the cast is adorable in their own way giving sterling performances as they are chased through the dark corridoors, turning on each other one by one in a bid to survive the unknown entity hellbent on taking them all to straight to purgatory! I enjoyed this movie. it's not too intense but gripping enough for you to stay with it to it's not so predictable conclusion. Give it a go. :)

This review is from: 5ive Girls (DVD)
Years ago, Ron Perlman (who is a priest in this movie) was a teacher at a Catholic school. One very good Catholic girl was doing her schoolwork in a classroom, when suddenly and completely without explanation she was carried away by supernatural forces. Flash forward to the present. The school has been re-opened, and is being run by a wicked (yet really hot) headmistress. Ron Perlman is back as the priest, and five new girls are dumped in this place by their uncaring parents. All the girls have supernatural powers, they're also delinquents, and their parents are glad to be rid of them. As the story progresses, we start seeing the ghost of the girl who disappeared earlier, and of course the girls are determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. A very satisfying amount of supernatural mayhem ensues.
The good: Acting is excellent, the script is witty, and the mystery is solved in a very satisfying manner. It's a bit easy to figure out (even I figured it out before the secret was revealed), but the story isn't very predictable. There's lots of action, and even the special effects are quite good. Overall it's a great effort. Though the trailer for this movie makes it look steamy and sleazy, that's actually a fairly small part of what goes on. The movie is almost completely concerned with the story. Though you do get some girls in their undies, a spanking scene, and a topless scene. And lets not forget some lesbian kissing. The bad: The soundtrack. This is supposedly in 5.1, but it sounds like mono sent to the center and two front speakers. If you sit anywhere but precisely in front of your TV, it has the effect of making the whole soundtrack seem as if it's coming from either your right or left speaker. I listened to the whole movie through my right front speaker. That's just really bad. Also, the movie really seems to drag towards the last part of the middle portion. The finale is quite exciting, but about 3/4rs of the way through it seems that the mystery has been sufficiently explored and it's time to get on with the conclusion. But the middle part just goes on and on. I had to check the DVD case to make sure this movie wasn't 120 minutes long, but no, it's just 90 something. Overall, I'd recommend this to horror fans. It's certainly not a cheesy B-movie, but a polished and professional effort, only tarnished by the crappy soundtrack.
