Alison's Birthday

As much as I hate to admit it, I kinda liked this flick. There was a tiny body count, a slow story, and no eal effects, but I still found it charming. The plot is a little complicated, but it's basically one of those movies where you shouldn't trust your family because they wasnt to kill you. This isn't very action-packed, and there arte only a few creepy parts to it, so unless you're ready to actually sit down and pay attenion, I'd pass this on up. But if you can bare a slow story, then pick it up. 3 out of 5.
