Alice, Sweet Alice 08/13/19

This unique proto-slasher is not a rip-off of The Exorcist and for my taste is more meaningful, despite associating innocent children with horrible killings and religious repression. Director Alfred Sole uses these edgy elements to whip up an involving mystery, and a committed cast lifts it high above the exploitation gutter: Linda Miller, Paula Sheppard, Mildred Clinton, Niles McMaster, Brooke Shields. Great extras, especially a commentary by Richard Harland Smith.. On Blu-ray from Arrow Video.
