5ive Girls is a small-budget piece of schlock-horror with some sexual overtones.

St Marks is a school for girls, a huge building but having only five girls as students, with a very strict principal and a teacher from the previous life of the school, Father Drake, played by Ron Perlman, an alcoholic priest with a propensity for inappropriate touching.

There are mysterious rooms in the building, and soon there are evil influences at work. The reference is to the Bible with a focus on the devils, Legion. However, for the melodrama, the evil forces move from character to character, one at a time, rather than a whole scale invasion.

This leads to some diabolical horror, various girls being affected, Father Drake unable to save them, himself becoming a victim. And there are clashes with the strict principal.

Things finally come to a head with the legion of Demons deciding to launch a wholescale attack on the girls.

The actresses playing the girls, older than schoolgirls, are of the nubile variety and filmed accordingly!

For afficianodoe of this kind of straight-to-DVD horror.
