Customer Reviews: Great film, shame about the DVD!!! November 18, 2008 Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett (Dracula's Crypt) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Angelic Karen Spages(Brooke Sheilds) is horribly murdered just before her first communion. Fingers start to point towards her sister Alice being the guilty party, as she is the very opposite to her dead sister. Prone to violent outbursts and verbally aggresive towards her Aunt Annie and neighbour Mr Alphonso, Alice was also the last person to enter the church when Karen was murdered. Alice's father Dominick then arrives on the scene, and determined to prove his surviving daughters innocence, starts to do a bit of amateur detecting of his own. br /I must reiterate that I'm giving the five stars for the wonderful film. Its a great little thriller, very much like a giallo in style, with many twists and turns. The real standout performance comes from Paula E. Sheppard as Alice, a quite remarkable achievement for someone so young, delivering a performance of real moral ambiguity. Alphonse De Noble is also memorable as digusting paedophile neighbour Mr Alphonso. br /The DVD release gets big fat zero, as its a very poor straight from video transfer. How do I know this? Well, on my old video tape of this film theres a scene where the audio track is out of sync with the action on screen. This is the case with this DVD too. The only the only difference is that I'm sure my old video was of superior picture quality. Please avoid this release at all costs, as its an insult to a film that deserves a lot better treatment. So 5 out of 5 for the film, 0 out of 5 for the DVD. The best print of the film on dvd November 1, 2009 K. Maiden (Glasgow U.K.) Like the other reviewers I wasn't impressed with the quailty of the print of the DVD so I bought the american(alice sweet alice) release wow I wish I didn't. If you think ours is bad the region 1 version is terrible, it's so bad I threw it away. It's an amazingly good film and at least wee have a watchable version. Great movie, terrible DVD July 5, 2008 A. Doerfler 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Don't buy this thing! The picture quality is completely unacceptable, it looks like a YouTube video, not like a DVD. great little film Awful print October 9, 2008 Yashkoo (manchester in the sunshine) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful So some one transfered their super 8 copy to DVD. lord this is a poor quality transfer. unwatchable. lets hope a proper company releases this super little film.
