Alice, Sweet Alice

SCREENING ON 35MM FILM | On the day of her first communion, young Karen (Brooke Shields) is savagely murdered by an unknown assailant in a yellow rain coat and creepy translucent mask. But the nightmare is far from over – as the knife-wielding maniac strikes again and again, Karen’s bereaved parents are forced to confront the possibility that Karen’s wayward sister Alice might be the one behind the mask.

Bearing influences from the likes of Hitchcock, the then-booming Italian giallo film and more specifically, Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now, Alice, Sweet Alice is an absolutely essential — if often overlooked — entry in the canon of 1970s American horror.
