Films like Alice, Sweet Alice.

Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) reads as Heavy, steady, extreme slasher / religious, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
