ALBUQUERQUE AMERICAN AWARD
“ALICE, SWEET ALICE“
This year we pay tribute to a cult slasher film, with a great performance by Paula E. Sheppard, cold and disturbing in her staging. Censored in its year of release, the murders in the film are powerful images in correlation with the religious overtones of the film.
Directed by Alfred Sole
Produced by Richard K. Rosenberg
