Summary
Welcome toAlice in Terrorland , how Lewis Carroll in the first place envisioned his Hellenic children ’s novelAlice in Wonderlandbefore outrage reader push him to rein in the more grotesque moments . Maybe . belike not . ButAlice in Terrorlandwas made all the same , never mind what Carroll , Walt Disney , or even Tim Burton may retrieve . I ’ve seen ( or Wikipedia’d ) many adaptations of Carroll ’s renowned novels , andI’ve never seen any quite likeAlice in Terrorland , directed by Richard John Taylor .
Alice in Terrorland , put out in 2023 , finds Alice ( Lizzy Willis ) get in at her grandmother Ruth ’s ( Rula Lenska ) estate after Alice ’s parents die in a house fire . There Alice set out to have unknown and horrifying dreams where the characters from Carroll ’s chronicle take the forms of sinister humans who debunk Alice to an even great wickedness in her new home . The movie has an abysmal 4 % onRotten Tomatoes , but these films are watertight when it comes to reviews , andI think it contend to uncover an interesting angle on the level .
Disney ’s invigorate classic Alice in Wonderland is known for its trippy , surreal images and storylines , including Alice ’s growing . What does it mean ?
Alice In Terrorland Plays Up The Horror Elements In Lewis Carroll’s Classic Story
Adaptations Of Alice In Wonderland Have Already Proven It’s A Frightening Story
Alice in Terrorlandis a moderately horrific motion picture with queasy characters like the Walrus , who seems more like a baby predator than a pinniped athirst for huitre , or the demented Hatter who lives up to the cognomen . The affair is , those over - the - top depictions of Carroll ’s character are not too far from the root cloth , as the many adaptations have shown . Even afterDisney’sAlice in Wonderlandpulled back the creepiness , the film they made still scared me as a tyke ( and a teen … and now , whatever , impart me alone ) .
The 1951 Disney adaptation does an redoubtable job of portraying just how lonely Alice is .
The 1951 Disney adaptation does an unnerving job of portraying just how lonely Alice is . The scene of the broom - faced blackguard wipe out Alice ’s route home never give out to disturb me . It ’s so uncheerful and hopeless . Even the nasty creatures in the wood start cry for her . Tim Burton ’s live - action adaptation do n’t focalise on those bleak aspects of the narrative , but they are certainly fearful . Johnny Depp in chalk - white make-up might be the friendly expression there . The Jabberwocky , the Red Queen , and the Cheshire computerized tomography are all horrifying or at least disquieting .

Alice in Wonderlandis about a little girl who gets lose in the woods . No one help her and then a Queen test to chop up off her forefront , it ’s pretty scary . For everything I could faultAlice in Terrorlandwith , it does examine those legitimate pilus - raising aspects of the fib . I have to give it to them . Some children ’s movie remakes stuff the revulsion in , butAlice in Terrorlandrealized what was already there in terms of frights , and used them to its advantage .
Alice in Murderlandcame out in 2010 and is a similarly low - budget repugnance spin on Lewis Carroll ’s book .
