1981 re-issue of Alice, Sweet Alice (originally titled Communion and later Holy Terror), a 1976 American psychological horror slasher film directed by Alfred Sole, written by Sole and Rosemary Ritvo, and starring Linda Miller, Paula Sheppard, and Brooke Shields in her film debut. Set in 1961 Paterson, New Jersey, the film focuses on a troubled adolescent girl (Sheppard) who becomes a suspect in the brutal murder of her younger sister (Shields) at her First Communion, as well as in a series of unsolved stabbings that follow. Mildred Clinton, Niles McMaster, and Jane Lowry co-star, with Louisa Horton and Lillian Roth appearing in minor roles. It was theatrically reissued in 1981 by Dynamite Entertainment under the title Holy Terror, with a marketing campaign that exploited Shields's appearance in the film following her rising profile. Promotional materials for this release emphasized Shields's appearance in the film, making it appear as though she was a starring cast member... In the years since its release, it has gained a cult following and is considered a contemporary classic of the slasher subgenre in critical circles, as well as an example of an "American giallo."
