Alice in Daliland, 11 August 2008
2/10
Author: eyecandyforu from United States

Imagine if you will some unfortunate young girl dropping acid in a depressing, grimy house and you have some idea of what Alice is like. We're told from the beginning that this is a film made for children. Nothing could be further from the truth. Gritty and grim with LOTS of tedious roughly done stop action photography tricks the film has none of the brilliance or nuance that the Alice In Wonderland/Through The Looking Glass stories do. Everything scrapes and scratches and looks dirty. A feeling of dread permeates, I wondered if Alice would die in some horrible way, then wanted her to. Narrarated endlessly by the little girl via up close lips reminded me of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which reminded me that that was a much better film. There wasn't a point or purpose to the story as far as I could tell, but maybe David Lynch could explain some of it. If you're a HUGE fan of stop action you might find it interesting, but don't let any of your children anywhere near it, they'll scream your house down.
