Description

A young Brooke Shields meets an untimely end in this religious-themed proto slasher par excellence from director Alfred Sole. On the day of her first communion, young Karen (Brooke Shields) is savagely murdered by an unknown assailant in a yellow rain mac 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.

Description

Based on the work of acclaimed playwright Arthur Miller (Death of a Salesman, The Crucible) and starring Edward G. Robinson (Scarlet Street, Night Has a Thousand Eyes) and Burt Lancaster (I Walk Alone, Elmer Gantry), All My Sons is a wartime tragedy of a family torn apart and forced to come to terms with their inner demons. Chris Keller (Lancaster) returns home from war with news of his impending engagement to Ann Deever (Louisa Horton, Walk East on Beacon!), the fiancée of his missing-in-action and presumed-dead brother. With Ann come memories better left forgotten. As the ghosts of the past creep back into the Keller home, Chris’s father (Robinson) makes a stunning and painful revelation that will change the family forever. Directed by Irving Reis (The Big Street, Enchantment) and shot by Russell Metty (Touch of Evil, Spartacus), this powerful drama is an unforgettable tale of moral dilemmas and remains a timeless classic.
