It focuses on 12-year-old Alice Spages (Paula Sheppard) who is accused of murdering her younger sister Karen (Brooke Shields) before her First Communion and then of viciously stabbing her Aunt Annie.
Alice is not the only bizarre character in the film, which is extremely well cast with a number of physically (and mentally) distorted participants, not least the obese and possibly perverted Mr Alphonso and Mrs Tredoni, who possesses a genuinely perturbing demeanour.
In conclusion, I believe that Alice, Sweet Alice is a landmark film in several aspects and should appeal to anyone with an interest in the horror genre.

 Arrow In The Head's movie review of Alice Sweet Alice: Rudolph Willrich/Father Tom, Linda Miller/Catherine, Paula ...
Twelve year old Alice’s (Sheppard) younger sister Karen (Shields) is brutally killed in a church minutes away from having her Catholic confirmation performed.
Apart from the creepy Alice, who fascinated me through her many states of being, it was the situation that kept me watching, not the human interaction.
This Arrow Sweet Arrow (yup, I went for it...sue me) really dug how it showcased all of the classic “slasher” ingredients (minus the coveted tit shots) while stepping out of the mold by draping the film in religious imagery, displaying family drama and making a statement on the possible dire consequences of the Catholic regime.

All songs in this collection keep the original combination of tune and text found in the sourcebooks, and are beautifully arranged by Alice Parker.
