Warning: Spoilers
The people who rate this movie low don't really have the understanding of what the movie is about or what Jay Lee was trying to show. Alyce Kills shows the mental descent of a woman in her late 20s after a traumatic incident happened prompting the question...

Was she already mentally unstable and the event tipped her over or was she mentally okay but one night changed everything? Alyce is a late 20s something woman, she has a mundane job she hates and the only thing she looks forward to is spending time with her only friend Carroll, who jokingly refers to Alyce as 'single white female' material.

The Normal State.. At the beginning we see Alyces and Carrolls friendship in depth. After an awful day at work the girls decide on going to a club for the night. Whilst at the bar Carroll finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her. Upset the couple leave and head back to Alyces flat where they indulge in drinking and drug taking. Carroll wants to go on the roof, after brief messing around Alyce accidentally knocks her off.. (she isn't dead) Mild Psychosis kicks in... At this point the movie starts to get darker alongside Alyces mental state. Consumed by guilt Alyce is having visions of Carroll attacking her vice versa and attacking herself. She goes to the drug dealer, even though armed with cash she performs sexual favours which highlights her mentality at this point. Believing the only way she can stop the visions she goes off to the hospital to kill Alyce...

Full Blown Psycho... Unaware of how bad she will become Alyce continues with life, after being sacked from her job, her drug taking doesn't get any worse though. A few darker scenes take place in this part including a necrophilia and war masturbation. Alyce is blind to see her thirst for blood has just begun.

The movie has similarities that Lewis Carrols Alice In Wonderland of the girls descent into darkness It may take slow to start but that's only to get a feel of the characters and the build up its a great watch and a must see worth More than the IMDb rating
