Christina Reviews *Alice, Sweet Alice*

         Alice, Sweet Alice is one of my favorite horror movies ever, and that’s not because it starred a young, delightful Brooke Shields.  Shields plays the obnoxiously loveable little sister of brooding, neglected Alice.  Needless to say, she doesn’t last very long and is killed off fairly quickly, as characters of her kind often are.  This is not a spoiler, by the way.
        The movie is about a disturbed young girl named Alice.  Yes, Alice has every reason to resent her life.  But is she a cold-hearted murderer of her own blood?  The movie is twisted and definitely does not go in the direction you would expect because the ending is quite off-the-wall. I'm not quite sure I liked the ending.  But that was almost beside the point when it came to whether or not I appreciated the film because the characters were just so appealing in a macabre sort of way, the music is creepy, and the movie has got this cult classic feel to it that makes one feel cinematically sophisticated for having watched it.
        I really don’t know what to rate it.  It’s really one of those movies where it’s impossible to know how others will feel about it.
