Alice, Sweet Alice (1976)

Mixed early entry in the slasher genre where typical giallo motifs - killer wearing creepy mask and yellow plastic raincoat, red herrings aplenty - blend into both a family character study and critique on Catholicism.

Whilst the murders are striking and well done there's a lot of chatter which dragged the film out of the horror genre and into basic melodrama but director Alfred Sole constructs his murder scenes with deliciously tense vigor that the long passages of what i would call inconsequential talk and uninteresting religious diatribes can be forgive. Almost.
