Alice is a withdrawn 12-year-old who lives with her mother and her younger sister, Karen, who gets most of the attention from her mother, leaving Alice out of the spotlight. When Karen is found brutally murdered in a church, suspicions start to turn toward Alice. But could a 12-year-old girl really be capable of such savagery?
Editor's Verdict
"While 'Alice, Sweet Alice' is not traditionally a Christmas movie due to its heavy horror/mystery focus, the setting of the murder (a first communion in a church, which often coincides with the end-of-year holiday season or is thematically linked to innocence/birth/renewal) and the release timing suggest an intentional, albeit dark, holiday framing for the core tragedy. The central conflict revolves around the murder of a young girl, which is thematically contrasted with the traditional joy of the season, giving the Christmas elements moderate symbolic weight."
