ALICE NELSON:

The IMDb description of The Alley gave the impression that this Indy film might be an undiscovered treasure. However it was little more than an overdressed after school special, loaded with hammy performances, bad set locations, poor casting choices and an awful script written and directed Jeff Hathcock, who may want to consider a new line of work.

Nick Andrews (Nick Slimmer) is The Alley’s modern day Boy who Cried Wolf. He has told so many whoppers that no one, except his gullible sister Amy (Madison Fitzgibbons), believes him when one of his wild tales actually turns out to be true. One night when Nick was supposed to be home watching his younger sister, he ventures out on his bike only to witness the murder of a young woman in the alley near his home. Nick gets a good look at the murderer’s face, unfortunately for Nick, the killer also gets a good look at him as well. So Nick high tails it out of that alley and runs to the supposed safety of his home. In the rush to escape, he leaves his bike, which has his name and address printed neatly on the tag, behind. Now the hunt is on. Will the authorities believe Nick’s tale? Will his mother stop yelling at him? Will the killer be caught? Will you even care by the time this thing grinds to a halt? I can answer that last question with a big fat NO! I conclude that you won’t give a rats patooty by the time this 88 minutes has mercifully come to an end.

Then there’s the killer (Shannon Holzer), who bears a striking resemblance to Gary Sinise, but whose acting abilities unfortunately doesn’t resemble Sinise’s in the least bit. The killer spends the entire movie with a forced scowl permanently etched onto his face. I think it’s meant to look menacing but it only makes him looks as if he’s racking his brain to remember each tortured line of dialogue. We get to follow in the murderer’s footsteps throughout the film to find out what makes him tick. But all this did was highlight the fact that nothing in this movie was believable, including the rage that supposedly made the killer snap and take a woman’s life. Rounding out the ensemble cast are three hapless detectives that Nick enlists to help him bring the murderer to justice. Talk about suspending belief for 88 minutes, from the clichéd police lingo, to the awkward way in which they held their guns, it was as if they had never seen such a strange contraption. It makes one wonder if these gentlemen didn’t simply stumble onto the set from the local hardware store and were hired on the spot. Nothing against employees of hardware stores, but they don’t necessarily make good actors. Detectives headquarters appeared to be located in your run of the mill office building, replete with carpeted floors, fancy conference rooms and tiny cubicles sprinkled all about. It was as if the location scouts rented out the offices of a local business, then hired all the essential personnel to play a part in the money-challenged project.

Written and directed by Jeff Hathcock, The Alley is a good premise gone bad, an intriguing idea poorly executed. I understand that Hathcock heads a small independent film company called Iron Horse Entertainment and has to compete in a town full of behemoth movie studios, so kudos to him and his team for giving it the old college try. However, it isn’t the limited funds that make The Alley bad, when it comes right down to it, it’s simply bad acting piled on top of poor writing that makes this movie such a hot mess. The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity were two independent movies that were very skillfully done on a shoestring budget, so there’s precedent that it can be done and done well. Hathcock has years of experience in the movie business as do his partners, one being Shannon Holzer who portrayed the killer in The Alley. Unfortunately this film doesn’t seem as if it was made by a seasoned veteran, instead it has all the drawbacks that would befall a novice filmmaker on his first attempt at helming a motion picture.
