7/10
hard to watch, (especially if you're catholic) but suspenseful and entertaining

"Alice, Sweet Alice" (aka "Communion" or "Holy Terror") is probably one of the scariest and most entertaining of all the "indie" films that i've seen. true, this film was disturbing and scary, but the one thing i'd like to point out is the music. Stephen Laurence (Lawrence?) did a great job scoring this film. The music was played in scenes that needed it, and the musical theme to the film that plays in some suspenseful points in the film is just incredible. This film is highly underrated, either because it hasn't really been brought up lately and isn't very well known, or the fact that it has some disturbing scenes. The most disturbing scenes i have to say where Karen's (Brooke Shields in her film debut) death, and the last death scene (i'm not going to spoil it). Karen was killed during her communion, and it's scary, thinking that someone is in the church chapel your in when you think you're all alone. The last death is so unexpected. You never, throughout the course of the film thought this character would die. Even worse, it happens in front of all these witnesses in the middle of the church. The ending is a scary twist, and it would probably a start up for a sequel or a series, but nope. It ends just like that.

My point exactly? "Alice, Sweet Alice" is disturbing and in bad taste in some scenes, but if you're able to withstand the film's content, then it might be entertaining for you. 6.5/10
