Mick Garris on

Alice, Sweet Alice

Released 1976
Distributor Allied Artists Pictures

Director Alfred Sole courted controversy on a couple of fronts with this 1976 shocker – the Catholic Church took umbrage over its subject matter (the original title was Communion) and a 1977 re-release threw more gasoline on the fire by exploiting the then 13 year-old Brooke Shield’s semi-scandalous performance in 1977’s Pretty Baby. Though there were scattered nay-sayers among the critics, most were impressed by the film’s somber tone and powerful imagery.
