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.
