5IVE GIRLS

Cinemavixion Review

Warren P. Sonoda's '5IVE GIRLS' plunges viewers into the oppressive atmosphere of St. Marks, a reformatory where five troubled young women find themselves at the mercy of an iron-fisted headmistress and a sinister secret. The narrative expertly weaves supernatural horror with the psychological struggles of its protagonists, particularly as they discover latent powers within themselves. Ron Perlman lends his commanding presence to the cast, adding gravitas to the film's exploration of faith and demonic possession. While the film may not have garnered widespread critical acclaim, its unique premise—teenage girls battling an ancient demon named Legion—offers a compelling, albeit dark, twist on the supernatural thriller genre. The film's strength lies in its commitment to its unsettling premise and the intriguing dynamic among the young women as they confront forces beyond their understanding.
