Plot

Twenty-year-old Alice Lewis is turning 21, and is upset about it. Her sorors want to cheer her up and decide to hold a birthday party with an Alice in Wonderland theme at Charlene Glass's house. Alice knows that in the basement of that house, her mother, Ann Lewis, was brutally hacked to death by a masked killer 20 years before. The girls set a rule that no cell phones and no boys will be allowed.

Everyone comes dressed as their favorite character from the books. Someone who was not invited comes as the Jabberwocky (a fierce dragon from Alice Through the Looking-Glass) and brings mayhem to the girls' night, as he starts murdering them one by one while the party is taking place.^[2]

Reception

HorrorNews said, "In spite of whatever criticisms I can make, I have to admit I kinda liked it. It’s a low budget, indie horror film that both suffers and benefits from everything that entails. I’m not going to tell you this film is great, but there are moments of greatness peppered throughout the film. The concept itself makes the film worth watching."^[5]
