5IVE GIRLS
Very familiar…
PLOT
St. Mark’s is the kind of school that your parents always threatened to send you when you acted up as a teenager. A group of troublemaking young girls are sent there where the teachers are led by a priest played by Ron Perlman (how the hell did Hellboy ever end up here?), not to mention a mean headmistress who idolizes the father. Not long after arriving, the girls learn that they all have special “gifts” that are unique to them such as telekinesis. There’s also something about how all the girls are virgins, but that’s a little hard to believe.
TRIVIA
Part of the Cutting Edge Films line of movies.
THOUGHTS
I wasn’t expecting a whole lot from this movie, which might be why it ended up not being so bad. I picked it up quite awhile ago, right after Halloween when Wal-Mart tossed a bunch of their overstock horror movies into the $5 bin. I had tried a couple of the other Cutting Edge movies so I didn’t think it would be very good.
I’m not saying that 5ive Girls is the best horror movie in the world, but it really wasn’t that bad. Perlman gets top billing, but he actually kind of disappears after the 30 minute mark. Then it turns to the girls to lead the movie and they actually do a pretty good job. They’re better than a lot of other actors turning up in horror movies lately.
