The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976) is a horror/thriller movie about a 13-year old girl with a dark secret. It stars Jodie Foster (as the "little girl" from the title) and Martin Sheen. It was nominated for 5 Saturn Awards, winning 2: best horror film, and best actress. I watched until the emphasis on the much older Martin Sheen making sexual advances towards the 13-year old Jodie Foster got too distasteful. At 13, she was much too young for that to be watchable for me. You can watch it online here.

Goodness sakes! I know I saw this back when but 40 years is too long for me to remember if her dad was dead in the basement or what. I do remember it being creepy, but obviously not that meorabble. Jodi Foster got some strange roles when she was so young, didn't she?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get past the dirty-old-man aspect of it to find out whether it was scary. Just ick :(
DeleteI won't watch any pedophilia or any suggestion of it. Glad you warned me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you. I'm just not gonna watch shows where that's featured.
