Cult slasher movie "Alice Sweet Alice" (AKA "Communion" and "Holy Terror") , which stars a very young Brook Shield in one of her first screen roles, has just been released to UK DVD from 88 Films, having been (apparently) passed uncut by the film censors for the very first time in the UK.
When ten-year-old Karen (Brooke Shields) is killed in church on the occasion of her first communion, her seemingly innocent older sister Alice (Paula Sheppard) becomes the prime suspect. Matters become complicated as more of Alice s family members are attacked, along with residents of her apartment building. Can a twelve-year-old girl be capable of such mayhem, or is someone else with a vicious plan destroying her family?
All previous versions had been cut to varying degrees, removing shots of a cat being swung by neck. This version has apparently been passed uncut
