This week Bryan and Dave take a look at a nasty little indie from New Jersey that can't help but get a little on ya. Alfred Sole's Alice, Sweet Alice is a vicious movie with a real bone to pick with the Catholic church. Following his actual excommunication from the church having, Alfred Sole pulled together every resource he could, with a script co-written by Rosemary Ritvo and heavily, heavily inspired by Nicholas Roeg's Don't Look Now, it pits a community of deeply repressed middle-class Catholics against a killer who brutally murders a child in a church. Is it the deeply disturbed problem-child Alice? All signs point to yes but it's complicated, of course. Perverse and dark in the extreme, Alice, Sweet Alice stands alone in the 1970's as a truly original, truly mean piece of horror with a hell of a cast and some seriously nasty special effects.

Nova Jersey, 1961. Alice é uma perturbada garotinha de 12 anos que assusta todos com seu comportamento estranho. No entanto, após uma tragédia, ela se torna a principal suspeita do brutal assassinato de sua irmã de 9 anos durante sua Primeira Comunhão. Tudo piora quando uma série de outros assassinatos começam a ser cometidos por uma figura mascarada. Essa é a premissa de Comunhão ou Alice Sweet Alice, filme de 1976 dirigido por Alfred Sole que chocou a todos por trazer uma criança supostamente assassina em meio a um ambiente católico e que também marcou a estreia de Brooke Shields no cinema. Inspirado pelos filmes de Alfred Hitchcock e pelo clássico Inverno de Sangue em Veneza, o longa é um clássico do horror dos anos 70, trazendo um vilão mascarado bizarro, uma criança perturbadora e críticas ao catolicismo.

This week on the show, Alice, Sweet Alice - a classic horror from the 1970s. A young girl, Karen (played by Brooke Shields) meets an untimely end in this religious-themed regional slasher by director Alfred Sole. Karen is murdered by an unknown assailant in a yellow raincoat and creepy translucent mask. And speaking of yellow, this one bears some of the hallmarks of giallo films from that era, despite these not being an influence on Sole.

An adolescent girl is suspected of murdering her sister, and attacking (and murdering) others in this mid-1970s proto-slasher film. Gus joins Matt & Ashley to talk about Alice, Sweet Alice in today's 13 Days of Halloween episode.
Sin duda obra tan maravillosa como El Rostro de la Muerte de Alfred Sole se merecía un programazo de los nuestros, y sin duda eso hemos intentado hacer como siempre. Pero no contentos con ello, hemos decidido también hablar de la cinta con la que se dió a conocer y que no muchos conocen, Deep Sleep. Toda una historia digna de película y dos obras que si duda deberían ser más reverenciadas. A disfrutar!

The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary
Quentin, Roger and Eli Roth continue their exploration of American Giallo with one of Eli's favorite films, 1976's Alice, Sweet Alice. When Alice's sister Karen is found brutally murdered in a church, suspicions turn towards Alice - but could a 12-year-old girl really be the killer? The group talks about the role that religion plays in giallo, how director Alfred Sole pulled off a period piece on a budget, and how the identity of the villain is just too good to spoil. Wrapping things up in a bow, let's all sing Happy Birthday To Me. Virginia is about to celebrate her 18th birthday, but before she can throw her party, her friends are killed off one by one. Directed by J. Lee Thompson, this film features amazing gags, unique kills, and one of the most gut-wrenching brain surgery scenes you'll ever see. Make sure you RSVP; it'll be a killer party.

Once again we go INCREDIBLY NICHE. In this episode a former ~*adult film director*~ gets excommunicated from the Catholic church and he has something to say about it! The director? Alfred Sole. The Movie? Alice, Sweet Alice (A.K.A Communion, A.K.A Holy Terror) from 1976. Anthony and Alix also talk a LOT about our own family dynamics (older sibling syndrome is also real) and our relationship with religion (it's as heavy as you're probably picturing). It's heavy, but good. We are TERRIFIED of the killer costume in this movie and only 5 star reviews on iTunes will keep the nightmares at bay.

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, so why does the past seem like such a nightmare?
