5ive Girls
Five wayward teenage girls are sent to a reformatory and discover they possess unique powers to battle the ancient demon, Legion, which holds thrall over the sinister institution.
Why it matters
A cult-tinged possession thriller that leans into teen angst and supernatural battles with a distinctly early-2000s direct-to-DVD vibe.
- Delivers a rare mix of reformatory drama and demon possession, tapping into institutional horror’s claustrophobic menace.
- Jordan Madley’s grounded performance cuts through the uneven dialogue, anchoring the film’s more outlandish moments.
- Practical effects and occasional gore nod to classic occult horror, even if the budget shows—fans of low-fi supernatural fare will find charm here.
- Not for viewers seeking polished scares or nuanced storytelling, but a curious watch for those who love possession tropes filtered through teenage rebellion.
