Alyce Kills (2011)

"Alyce Kills" was a surprisingly decent flick. I'm glad I didn't end up passing on it based on the generic cover art.

A young woman, Alyce, hits the town with her best friend and - after some boyfriend trouble at the club - decide to get totally blitzed and score some ecstasy. While partying on the roof of Alyce's apartment building, the friend falls off and is hospitalized in critical condition. Alyce lies to police, insinuating that her distraught friend went up to the roof alone to commit suicide, which leads her into a guilt-ridden downward spiral. She begins fucking her friends' drug dealer for dope, as well as a roided out douchebag bouncer, and eventually takes to murdering those who had mistreated her friend...

This movie is more of a downbeat drama than a horror movie with not so much of Alyce killing anyone until the end. It works pretty well, however, with some good performances and a relatively 'sleazy' and dreary tone. The more gory material that comes along is actually quite nasty and cool. Recommended.
