God, I really need to find this and watch it again. I remember "Bad Ronald" rather vividly. But the most I remember about "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (ABC Primetime, April 6, 1979) is a creepy cellar and that it scared the hell out of me!
It's on tubi! The best streaming app ever!
ReplyDeleteThis is very good thriller with some surprising nudity and teen sex that would never be filmed these days. Sheen is very creepy as child molester who lust after Jody Foster. I think you can find in on Tubi which has a lot of great old movies for free
ReplyDeleteI have this on DVD and watch it every couple of years!
ReplyDeleteAwesome performances from all and direction by Nicolas Gessner that's seriously unobtrusive until the scene calls for it... like Foster not blinking for what feels like five minutes, or the close-up on Sheen's face as he extinguishes his cigarette. And 15-year-old me REALLY wanted to know what it was exactly that Alexis Smith saw before she went down in the cellar.
