could i get a quick review of this movie without any spoilers,just basic plot outline,how much gore,and i just rented it havent watched it yet but the version i just rented is the directors cut how different is it from the original,any help would be appreciated.

plot: A creepy killer in a doll mask kills a young girl on her first communion. Most characters suspect her older sister Alice. Then more attacks/murders are commited. Who could it be?

The acting is great, especially Paula Shepperd's performance as Alice.
There is no nudity except playboy pics in the background. And the gore is ok, especially the 2nd murder. The ending is really cool also.

I give it 4 out of 4 stars.

ALICE, SWEET ALICE (1977) Directed by Alfred Sole. The movie was filmed one year earlier under the title "Communion", but released much later than the film's completion due to the success of child star Brooke Shields (who also starred in "Pretty Baby" and "King Of The Gypsies" during the late 70's). Brooke isn't even the title character in this horror classic. That honor belongs to another excellent child actress/one-hit wonder Paula E. Sheppard. "Alice" centers around a divorced woman (Linda Miller, daughter of Jackie Gleason; sister of Jason Miller; aunt to Jason Patric...talk about "six degrees of Kevin Bacon"!), her two young daughters (Sheppard and Shields), and a rash of spree killings linking their family to the Catholic church located in their New Jersey neighborhood. Shields has the Janet Leigh-Drew Barrymore role of Alice's younger sister Karen, who is brutally slain during the film's first 15 minutes on the day of her First Communion. Suspicion falls upon her jealous, disturbed older sister (Sheppard, wearing a yellow raincoat and creepy doll's mask for most of the film), but this whodunit is far from being simple. There are twists and turns abound, as well as excellent character development (as scripted by Rosemary Ritvo and director Sole) and interesting relationships among the interconnected characters. The unknown supporting cast is high-strung but effective nevertheless. I remember seeing this movie on Showtime when I was 14, and MAN, everyone was talking about it at school the next day! That, in itself, is a recommendation. This gem is available on video (you'll have to hunt for it, though). This film was also released under a third title: "Holy Terror". The "Alice, Sweet Alice" version is the most superior, reminiscent of the classic Bette Davis fright fest "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte". My grade: A

this is a must - see film for every slasher fan such as me.
Great cast, good acting, well written.
The end was so creepy , showing Alice with the bloody knife, kind of take over ending.
SPOILER But I am sure that Alice stabbed her aunt in the stairs !! or not ?
9/10, creepy, somber, atmospheric.

I own this great film because :
1. I am a slasher/giallo collector
2. It is a very good film.
Disturbing, ambiguous, well acted, well directed with good camera angles.
Creepy, good music, atmospheric,too.
I was sad for SPOILER the former husband ( mister Spages ) who's killed, he did not deserve to die.
Very good slasher : 8/10

I have this movie on tape and it is very good, the acting is great and the part when one of the characters gets stabbed in the foot always makes me cringe ... ><
