WHEN ALICE BROKE THE MIRROR

Cinemavixion Review

Lucio Fulci's "When Alice Broke the Mirror" plunges into a disturbing narrative of a jaded gigolo whose boredom with women leads to their gruesome demise. The film explores a dark psychological landscape where victims are not merely killed but are dismembered, their body parts becoming macabre trophies and, chillingly, sustenance for the killer. Fulci, known for his visceral and often controversial approach to horror, crafts a tale that is as unsettling as it is graphic, delving into the depths of a disturbed psyche. The performances, particularly from the lead, are central to conveying the cold detachment of the protagonist, while the supporting cast navigates the grim reality of his actions. This is a challenging film, characteristic of Fulci's later work, that explores themes of obsession, consumption, and the void left by apathy.
