communion (1976)


aka Alice Sweet Alice. Holy Terror
"You're going to be the prettiest girl there."
Just before her first holy communion, Karen Spages (Linda Miller) is found murdered. Suspicion falls on Alice (Paula Sheppard), Karen's often overlooked, sullen and anger prone older sister. But is a twelve year old girl really capable of such savagery? As further murders are committed people become more and more convinced Alice is behind them. With only her mother believing in her innocence.
Engaging suspence-horror, that would have been much better if the Alice character had been nicer. As it was, she was an annoying brat, and as such I didn't care much one way or another whether or not she did or didn't do the crimes.
