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!

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.

The basic premise is prostitute offs herself then haunts the former brothel, now mansion. The mansion is owned by the former brothel owner. He's young(ish), arrogant, and decides to have a wild party in the house with his buddies and *ahem* 'dancers.' That's about as far as I got. The movie was unwatchable. It was like watching extremely boring porn, without the actual porn. The acting is terrible, the script is terrible. Just awful. I guess the high-ish (much too high for what it is) rating is due to friends of the film makers giving absurdly high ratings. I PAID for this on Amazon. Don't make the same mistake! Your time and/or money will be wasted.

I do not know how this movie have such high rating. I started watching it and have to stop with boredom. The acting is awfully bad, I mean BAD, the story sucks and I guess only some nudity makes the movie more interesting for some people but, please believe me watch or try to watch this movie at your own risk I hope this gets the stars that it deserve even I suppose that friends and people involved in this movie will intoxicate the ratings sooner or later. this is the plot:In the late 1890s the Davenport House was a famous and successful brothel, until a young prostitute named Alice killed herself there. After her death, the brothel became haunted by Alice's ghost, and was eventually abandoned. More than a century later, the old structure is renovated into a beautiful mansion. It is still rumored to inhabit the ghost of Alice. Despite this, the new owner; the rich and arrogant heir to the Davenport fortune, decides to throw a wild party for his first night in the house.
