His is a plot explanation spoiler review in case you haven't figured things out from the early clues, but not plot spoiler per se.
A large brothel was home to Alice a rebellious prostitute and committed suicide. Four generations later the family still owns the house and a party ensues of four guys and prostitutes. One woman supplies the party with LSD, which is delivered through the whisky which has a note "see you on the other side" some buzz words for acid users, i.e. Doors "Break on Through to the Other Side." A story is then planted in everyone's mind about Alice D which sounds a lot like LSD, get it...which unfortunately they couldn't create a decent movie around the pun no better than Joan or Arcadia.
The question as to how real is the ghost they briefly see or is it hallucination.
On a side note about LSD: placing it in a bottle is bad business as there is no way to measure dosage which is tough enough to begin with. The second aspect is that anyone who has done LSD, knows what the onset feels like (tingling at base of skull) and also know when they are on it. You just don't suddenly start to "see things." In fact most of the time you don't see things, you just think everything is funny...especially MST 3000 designed for acid users. I hate it when people who have heard one Grateful Dead song, think they know all about acid trips.
Guide: sex, brief rape, nudity.

Alice D: Another dire addition to the on/off franchise
Alice D otherwise known as The Haunting of Alice D otherwise known as Tainted otherwise known as American Poltergeist 6 is terrible horror that I'm still reeling from so bear with me.
It tells the story of a group of friends in a refurbished mansion that decide to have a party, and by party I mean invite some prostitutes round and that's basically it. Sadly the house has a history as one of their great grandfathers used it as a brothel where unspeakable things took place.
Starring horror legend Kane Hodder and wrestling veteran Al Snow this is a dire piece of stupidity that fails to ever get started.
It's a haunting type but don't expecting much to actually happen. You know most found footage haunting films where it's 99% talking then suddenly everything happens at once and it's still not very good? It's like that, but it's not found footage.
It looks ugly, everything about it is uninspired and I'm shocked Hodder agreed to do this. A messy devoid of redeeming features steaming pile of otter dung.
The Good:
..........I'll get back to you on that
The Bad:
Manages to be really rather boring
Pretty much everything
Truly Terrible
If you think things will get better after the opening scene - they won't.
The only reason I have given this one star is because some of the acting isn't bad.
Every other aspect is TERRIBLE.
A director who doesn't know how to direct - camera operator(s) who have no idea about lenses or the basic operation of a camera - a sound recordist/boom who has no idea of how to capture decent sound - a lighting director who has no idea of lighting. This is a mess.
The colour grading is bad. The editing is bad. The story never really gets going - and goes nowhere very fast.
Even if you have some spare time you would get more entertainment from watching back to back commercials for 85 minutes - I joke not!
