GL84 Sent to a Christian reformatory school, a young teen finds that the other women there are just like her, gathered together by an ancient prophecy to open the long-closed gates to other dimensions home to ravenous demons, and that they have to stop it before they can arrive on Earth.This one was a really above-average film. One of the finer aspects of this one is the fact that this one changes the way a possession takes place which is a nice specialty. Rather than being able to take control of anyone, this one stipulates rules that the incredibly religious are off-limits, for it won't work on them. Through the use of voodoo, a pentagram and Latin spells, the demon comes forth and the victim becomes possessed which is quite different, and although it doesn't really go together since all of them conflict with each other, they do make for a fantastic scene. The location of the fighting also works, since the place is really creepy. The majority of this comes from the backstory given here that offers up a rather strong and impressive religious-based storyline that works in not only regular religious outcomes but also brings together several different setups into the main setup. Including the voodoo aspects of the scenes in the attic featuring their battle with the various students possessed by the demons which not only has the payoff from the beginning but adds in some more fun to be had with the final showdown being a long, action-packed feature that contains so many different ways to stay enjoyable that the film ultimately gets incredibly fun and exciting. Added together with the fine makeup on the ghosts as some of them can be quite shocking and get a few jolts, these here really make the film enjoyable. This one doesn't do a whole lot wrong, but there are a few problems with it. The first flaw is that the film doesn't capitalize on several key areas as well as it should. The fact that most of the gore comes from non-lethal wounds or aftermath is slightly puzzling as there's a whole amount of deaths that result from the demon jumping into another body and the previous host collapsing with nothing graphic happening. This really should've been the case where it really amps up the gore to detail the different outcomes of the demons' attacks, which really could've provided this one with some more fun to be had with the more obvious destruction of the bodies. That really could've helped the few actual deaths even more. The other missed opportunity is the closet lesbianism on display. There are a few nods here and there towards it, but hardly anything occurs of it and a little extra sleaze would've been fine. The last flaw is that the body-hopping demon is such a cliché and done to death. This little trick comes into play in other films way too often, and this one is just the same. These here keep the film down somewhat.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and Brief Nudity

panosdns "Five girls" is about a girl who vanishes in a catholic boarding school by evil forces..five years later , the school is reopened and five unwanted girls who have supernatural powers are left there by their families..soon strange things will start happening and they will discover that their strict headmistress has a big secret..Even though we have some very good actors here and the plot keeps you there to see what will happen , the movie has plot holes and sometimes poor dialogue , including the ending which was a little dull and leaves you questioning. It has poor effects and music that doesn't fit to the whole movie. Also it is supposed to be a supernatural horror movie but the horror is nowhere in "Five girls".

Paul Andrews 5ive Girls is set in St. Marks correctional school for girls where Alex Garrison (Jennifer Miller) has been sent, after having been closed for five years the school has been reopened with a small experimental group of five female teenage delinquents. Run by the strict authoritarian headmistress Anna Pearce (Amy Lalonde) & a kindly priest Father Drake (Ron Pearlman) the girls, Mara (Jordan Madley), Connie (Tasha May), Cecilia (Tara Vnesa), Leah (Barbara Mamabolo) & Alex are told not to venture onto the third floor. Obviously that's precisely what they do & they find a pentagram & evidence of devil worship as an evil demon called Legion wants to possess the five gifted girls...This Canadian production was written & directed by Warren P. Sonoda & I have to admit that I really didn't like 5ive Girls that much at all. The script & feel of the film instantly reminded me of The Craft (1996) with the basic concept of it's female gang of teenage outcasts who have some sort of magical ability, then 5ive Girls turns into a The Exorcist (1973) rip-off as a deep voiced demon from hell starts to possess the girls & there's even a vomiting scene as well (with a terrible CGI computer effect to go with it). The twists & turns of the plot aren't anything any seasoned horror film fan won't have seen dozens of times before & felt rather lacklustre to me, there's not much build up or suspense & even though all five girls are meant to have some sort of supernatural ability this aspect of the story is very poorly handled. It's not really clear what ability a couple of the girls have & none of them use their abilities to any great effect at all, in fact this subplot about these abilities goes nowhere. Also at the end the demon Legion states that he wants five victims with only Alex left but technically Legion had killed Father Drake so in fact he had killed five people & nowhere in the film did it state that it had to be five girls. This lacks any great pace, the twists aren't overly surprising, the character's are fairly clichéd & unlikable & the story is just very forgettable bar the spanking scene...There's a great scene in this when the rather sexy headmistress makes Alex bend over a table, pulls her skirt up & smacks her bottom with a ruler! I was sitting there & kind of thought that looked rather fun actually, I mean the headmistress could spank my bottom anytime she wanted or is that just me being a weird pervert? A rather kinky but entertainingly memorable corporal punishment scene, probably the best scene in the film. There is some nudity too, couple the nudity with the fact they are schoolgirls in school uniforms & it left me with a very unpleasant feeling. One could argue that 5ive Girls has a slightly paedophilia tone, unintentional I am sure but school uniforms, young girls & nudity? Horror wise there's not too much here to get excited about, there are the usual flashes of ghosts, there's a bit of blood splatter & someone is impaled on a large cross at the end. There are some average looking CGI computer effects here with a rather black skeletal looking demon at the end. The mystery elements of the film just don't play out that well, I was never really overly bothered by what was happening to anyone & the story just didn't grab me.With a supposed budget of about $3,000,000 all I can say is where did all the money go? The film takes place entirely within the confines of the school, the cast numbers about seven & I doubt even Hollywood star Ron Pearlman's wages were that demanding. Apparently shot in Hamilton in Ontario in Canada. The acting is alright, Pearlman looks disinterested while I must admit I had the hots for sexy strict headmistress miss Pearce or maybe that's just me being weird again...5ive Girls is not a film that I could recommend to anyone, I just didn't like it really & it's as simple & straight forward as that. It's reasonably well made but when a film fails to grab you or entertain you so what?
