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.

If you think things will get better after the opening scene - they won't.The only reason I have given this one star is because some of the acting isn't bad.Every other aspect is TERRIBLE.A director who doesn't know how to direct - camera operator(s) who have no idea about lenses or the basic operation of a camera - a sound recordist/boom who has no idea of how to capture decent sound - a lighting director who has no idea of lighting. This is a mess.The colour grading is bad. The editing is bad. The story never really gets going - and goes nowhere very fast.Even if you have some spare time you would get more entertainment from watching back to back commercials for 85 minutes - I joke not!

Wasted my time and money! Why can't the makers just put a little more effort? 1) what are you trying to say? Alice revenges on those people basing on what? Even Jason had Crystal Lake? 2) What made me mad is that the makers seem to have enough budget to make a descent movie. 3) The Actors and Actresses are not too bad to start with so the problem is with the scripts. 4) Even the only good thing about the movie that is nudity is neither here or there? 5) The killings are all off screen. 6) The conversations are boring. 7) The flash back could have put all in the beginning instead of putting parts in the middle of the movie. 8)It just seems to me that the maker did not put their heart into making it. Pls try to make a watchable film next time..

I think some people got really drunk one night, filmed some silly antics, woke up the next day, re-watched the footage and thought to themselves, in their hungover, still slightly euphoric state 'you know what, these rooms appear to be slightly scary, imagine if we got do anything actor Kane Hodder for ten minutes, we could make a horror film'.And this is exactly what this poor excuse for a film feels like.....In the 1890s the Davenport House was a famous brothel, until a young prostitute named Alice killed herself there. After her death, the brothel became haunted by her ghost, and was abandoned. More than a century later, the old structure is renovated into a beautiful mansion, but It is still rumoured to be haunted by Alice. Despite this though, the new owner, whom happens to be the rich and arrogant heir to the Davenport fortune, decides to throw a wild party for his first night in the house....If your idea of a good film is watching three different, but boring scenarios, happening in three different, but boring rooms, with a strange noise or sighting every now and again, this may have been tailor made for you.So we have two groups of people in this film, the rich, abhorrent men, who look and act like a pound shop style Entourage, and the 'hired' girls, who look and act like they are really inebriated and off their faces on kinds of chemicals.Except for one out of each group who just happen to be slightly nicer than the others, hence making them the 'heroes' of the film.So while these two are in a room bonding with each other, the other members of the party are getting in too all sorts of scrapes with the titular ghoul.And that's it. It's a really poor effort for a film, Hodder pops up in flashbacks as the owner of the brothel circa the 1890s, but even he looks like he couldn't care less.Devoid of scares, characters to care about, or even a decent setting, Alice D is really not worth your time.
