Alpha House is the raunchiest frat on campus. Their house is
always partying; always filled with sex, music and beer. It’s a lot of fun for
the people involved, but for a sorority without a house to call its own, they’re
a waste of precious space.
From the company that brought you the Sharknado series and Abraham
Lincoln vs. Zombies comes a movie that’s so terrible it blew “so bad, it’s
good” out of the water.
I hope you read that part in the movie trailer guy’s voice.
If not, well… the joke wasn’t that funny anyway, you’re not missing anything.
On a serious note, The Asylum is known for doing its best to
produce movies that fall into the “so bad, it’s good,” or “bad-good,” category.
In the two aforementioned movies, they actually succeed. Unfortunately, the
genre of bad-good is a bit difficult to work with and they’re not very good at
it.
Out of 172 movies on The Asylum’s production list (as of
today) roughly 10 or 15 of their films are somewhat watchable. Only about 5 of
those films actually succeed in the bad-good genre.
That’s coming from someone who loves the terrible B-movie
thing.
Alpha House was
trying to be a mix of Van Wilder and Revenge of the Nerds. It tried very
hard. In the end, it wasn’t even one of The Asylum’s watchable movies. None of the
jokes were funny. The script was so basic it felt like a 14 year old boy wrote
it. The line for bad-good wasn’t even on the radar for this film.
It seems like I’m rolling a lot of terrible movies lately.
The good part is that they’re getting off my list and soon only the better
movies will be left. The bad part is that I’m watching a lot of crap movies.
Netflix has some real hidden gems. This is just a rut.
