Alicia

About This Movie

Alicia (1994) dives into a grimy, surreal landscape that feels both unsettling and strangely captivating. The moment Alicia experiences her first menstruation, it spirals her into an underworld led by bizarre fly-men, all under the thumb of a grotesque ruler. The practical effects are rough around the edges, which adds to the film's nightmarish quality. It's not a polished journey, but rather one that's raw and haunting. The pacing is deliberately off-kilter, mirroring Alicia's disorientation. You'll find themes of transformation and loss of innocence woven throughout, making it a thought-provoking watch amidst the chaos. Performances are eclectic, fitting the film's erratic tone, making it a distinct entry in the fantasy-horror genre.
