Format:DVD
It's pretty much universally accepted that Jodie Foster was one of the finest child actresses ever to hit the screen, and if proof were needed then it is to be found in this film. Giving a trade mark 'older than her years' performance she portrays an ultra cute young girl, but introduces a chilling menace I've not felt since I first watched Hitchcock's 'Psycho'.
This is well directed and thoroughly absorbing. If you like Jodie's work, you'll love this.

This overlooked gem of a psychological thriller features an excellent performance from a 14-year old Jodie Foster and a fantastically creepy turn from Martin Sheen as a paedophile. The scenes they share together are superbly acted and really crank up the tension and discomfort (the hamster torturing scene is particularly unpleasant). This film is a bit of a slow burner with very little in the way of action or gore, but the tense atmosphere really drew me in as more and more was revealed about what was going on in the house and what had gone on in the past.

A real trip down memory...er...lane.
As always the young Jodie Foster does an amazing job, and is more appealing (and in better films) than the older Jodie Foster.
Martin Sheen (just before "Apocalypse Now") is superb as the sleazy, sexual predator and all in all this has aged very well and makes for compulsive viewing.
A very well crafted, low key 70's thriller full of excellent performances.

Thrilling
Jodie Foster is brilliant as the girl who lives down the lane. My only two complaints being there are no dvd extras apart from a trailer. Read more

The wait is worth it
As all the other reviewers say in as many words - this is a little gem. Not for everyone or family viewing perhaps as the subject matter, even today is hard to take. Read more

Great little film
I hadn't seen this since the late 1970's when it was shown on TV a few times. In its day would probably have been a B movie (remember those) with another major picture, as at just... Read more
