A chilling proto-slasher steeped in religious iconography and suffocating familial tension, *Alice, Sweet Alice* unravels a haunting mystery following the brutal murder of a young girl during her First Communion. The film establishes a deeply unsettling atmosphere within the confines of a seemingly devout Catholic community, where suspicion fixates on the victim’s reserved older sister, Alice. Beyond the whodunit, the narrative explores the corrosive effects of parental favoritism and the fractured dynamic between a grieving mother and a daughter struggling for recognition, building a disturbing portrait of denial and repressed emotions. Unlike typical slasher fare, the film prioritizes a slow-burn psychological unraveling, emphasizing the emotional weight of loss and the unsettling possibility of innocence corrupted, culminating in a shocking reveal that challenges preconceived notions of evil and vulnerability.
