Published

Alyce

We’re excited to announced the next Bloody Disgusting Selects title as we have acquired North American rights to horror film Alyce for DVD, Video On Demand and Digital release.

In the bloody thriller helmed by Zombie Strippers director Jay Lee, and produced by Social Construct in Association with Scream HQ, “a young woman haunted by guilt and delving into a brutal nightmare wonderland of sex, drugs and violence, her mind tearing itself apart along with anyone else who gets in her way.

Starring Hatchet‘s Tamara Feldman, alongside James Duval (Donnie Darko, Doom Generation), Eddie Rouse (Pandorum, Undertow) and Jade Dornfeld (Everything Will Happen Before You Die), Alyce is a a Ultra-gritty psychological thriller nestled between Alice in Wonderland and a modern vision of Taxi Driver.

Check out two pieces of sales art from last year’s film markets and a long synopsis after the break. Also available from BD Selects is The Woman, Atrocious, YellowBrickRoad, Phase 7, Chop, The Pack, Coldfish and Outcast. All available in stores, VOD and digital. Alyce, an introverted young woman, tries to console her friend, Carroll, after Carroll discovers her boyfriend has been cheating. The girls get drunk and take ecstasy before heading up to the roof of Alyce’s apartment building. Intoxicated and giddy, the girls start playing around but one drunken stumble later knocks Carroll off the ledge of the six-story building.

Panicked, Alyce returns to her apartment and begins to quickly unravel.

Miraculously, Carroll doesn’t die but is severely broken and unable to speak. Alyce lies about her involvement in the tragedy but it ceaselessly haunts her. She seeks refuge in drugs and more drugs, exchanging sexual favors to get and stay high. She loses sleep, her job, and soon, her sanity.

Until, that is, Alyce decides to take control of the situation. She puts an end to her anxieties of being discovered by suffocating Carroll. The sense of control she garners with this single act empowers her and she moves on for more. She kills the cheating boyfriend but finds that disposing of his body is more trouble than she’d bargained for. But it’s not a job that a blender, a microwave, a hack saw, a baseball bat, and a garbage disposal, can’t eventually take care of.

And then she goes off, quite rationally, to take control of the rest of her life and all of the people that have been controlling her.
