Alice Sweet Alice airs again on early Sunday morning December 18, 2016 at 4:15 AM ET.
Still cut. Still under the original "Communion" title. And still a telecine that, even with the cuts, looks a thousand times better than the putrid DVD transfers. It does include all the parts that Alfred Sole chopped out so he could get it copyrighted. (Next time, try remembering to put a copyright date on the final cut.)
Not that I minded that the "You notice her tits" line during the lie detector test scene was expunged. That was unintentionally hilarious. Was this the MPAA approved version? I never saw it theatrically but it sure looks like what the film would have had to look like to get an "R." -

I dont' know about you but all the violence in this film is extremely graphic and detail oriented and extremely effective.
so I almost cant' imagine it being any better by showing more of the violence than they show in this version. all the violence is shown in the best way which is showing you just enough to get the point across that someone got stabbed or sliced with a knife but never showing you over the top, Friday the 13th amount of mutilation, so where your mind fills in all the blanks to make it extremely disturbing and the most realistic depictions of violence that a film can have. -

I saw it then, on late Saturday and I kind of regretted watching it as it just was so disturbing and scarring. I mean my gosh, gosh damn it's cold dead black with it's tone and what is shown with it's violence and with it's harrowing emotional trauma and terror.
every violent act is so realistic because they show just enough violence for you to think that the violence actually happened. why oh why dont' they ever use this kind of violence in movies anymore? only in the '70s did they use this kind of violence. and it was so effective. they show you just enough where your mind can fill in the blanks of what you don't see. and you believe that you actually seeing violent acts even though you are not. this is very, very effective. I've never seen better portrayals of violence than the violence that is in this film.
