The people who rate this movie low don't really have the understanding of what the movie is about or what Jay Lee was trying to show. Alyce Kills shows the mental descent of a woman in her late 20s after a traumatic incident happened prompting the question...Was she already mentally unstable and the event tipped her over or was she mentally okay but one night changed everything? Alyce is a late 20s something woman, she has a mundane job she hates and the only thing she looks forward to is spending time with her only friend Carroll, who jokingly refers to Alyce as 'single white female' material.The Normal State.. At the beginning we see Alyces and Carrolls friendship in depth. After an awful day at work the girls decide on going to a club for the night. Whilst at the bar Carroll finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her. Upset the couple leave and head back to Alyces flat where they indulge in drinking and drug taking. Carroll wants to go on the roof, after brief messing around Alyce accidentally knocks her off.. (she isn't dead) Mild Psychosis kicks in... At this point the movie starts to get darker alongside Alyces mental state. Consumed by guilt Alyce is having visions of Carroll attacking her vice versa and attacking herself. She goes to the drug dealer, even though armed with cash she performs sexual favours which highlights her mentality at this point. Believing the only way she can stop the visions she goes off to the hospital to kill Alyce...Full Blown Psycho... Unaware of how bad she will become Alyce continues with life, after being sacked from her job, her drug taking doesn't get any worse though. A few darker scenes take place in this part including a necrophilia and war masturbation. Alyce is blind to see her thirst for blood has just begun.The movie has similarities that Lewis Carrols Alice In Wonderland of the girls descent into darkness It may take slow to start but that's only to get a feel of the characters and the build up its a great watch and a must see worth More than the IMDb rating

This film was just a complete load of nonsense and should be avoided by anyone who doesn't want to watch a completely pointless movie. I know a few people seem to really enjoy it, but it requires more suspension of disbelief than was possible for me to muster. Also, the talk of a surprise twist ending never happened as the ending followed the plot line perfectly.Alyce and her friend Carroll go out and get some weird drugs after Carroll has a fight with her boyfriend (or ex). They take the drugs and we are led to believe Alyce pushes Carroll off the roof of her building. Alyce then keeps going back to the drug dealer and goes on a killing rampage that supposedly seems like revenge toward the people who hurt her and hurt Carroll. This would make more sense if Alyce didn't murder Carroll in the hospital before killing anyone else.The worst part of this movie was the extreme liberties it takes with Alyce's psychological condition. Alyce is clearly not a sociopath. She has many emotions in the movie, including fear and regret when Carroll is hurt. So supposedly her mistreatement by Carroll's family and ex and by a drug dealer and her boss turns her into a heartless sociopathic killer. This is not only unrealistic, it insults the viewer and it trivializes the development of antisocial personality disorder (the correct term for what we consider a sociopath). Alyce's spiral just makes no sense.I am going to post the "twist" ending right here because if I would have looked it up before, I would have not watched this film. I would like to save others this nightmare. So, after massacring several people, Alyce walks into her apartment and sees two cops and her landlord who obviously are there to arrest her. She looks at them with no realization of the severity of her situation and says "What?" That is the amazing "twist" ending people refer to in this movie. It is completely idiotic.For the first hour, I actually liked this movie and I was going to give it a glowing review. However, it is impossible for me to believe that the events of a few weeks would be enough to push Alyce as far as they did. Avoid this movie as it is one of the worst horror movies ever made.

This is quite a strange film starts out a girls night out. All light hearted fun turning to drinking, drug taking and ending with one of the girls accidentally falling off the roof. After this the film gets weirder with the other girl (Alyce) taking stronger drugs which turn her into a murderous psychopath. I suppose this is a warning on the dangers of taking drugs. There is a strange moral speech by the drug dealer half way through the film where he tries to justify his lifestyle by telling us that the real bad guys are the money grabbers in wall street and war mongers in government. There are some nice comedy moments in the latter part of the film where she sweetly asks a handyman if she can borrow his saw, hammer and baseball bat to get rid of a dead body. The way she mashes the dead body with the baseball bat and with regular kitchen appliances and the waste disposal was a joy to watch. Her reaction to the police in her apartment at the end is classic comedy. I enjoyed this film and I don't even know why but I don't think it's for everyone.

This film started out promising... production values, acting, script were first-rate, and then it suddenly took a left turn a third of the way through and went in four different directions. Was this a film about a woman becoming psychotic from her solitary existence as well the guilt re: her friend's death (why didn't she just tell the police the truth? It was an accident, not a murder), a film about drug abuse, a slasher film, or - all of the above? And, if so, what was the point? For some reason, Alyce's personality completely changes after her friend's accident and she becomes aggressive, angry and sadistic... with no explanation of what happened to cause that. The film continued to disappointingly lose its focus the longer the running time increased and I was finally left during the end credits pondering just what it was all about or what it had possibly been trying to say. A character study, perhaps? It seemed like a half-developed script that had really no place to go.Addendum: Just did some quick research on the director, Jay Lee, and was surprised to learn he'd made "Zombie Strippers," which I thought was a camp masterpiece. What happened?
