| User ReviewMark DAika hyvä varhaistyö Steven Spielbergiltä. 70- ja 60-luvun taitteen jenkkikauhun vainoharhaisessa tunnelmassa on oma tenhonsa. Samanlaista meininkiä kuin Manaajassa ja Omenissa, tosin hieman pienemmällä budjetilla toteutettuna. Toimii joka tapauksessa. |
| User ReviewAnthony VOne of Steven Spielberg's first attempts is nothing special. |
| User Reviewmateusz lI agree with the reviews that say this is only of interest to Spielberg completists. It's next-to-impossible to find, so most people won't even have to worry about it. |
| User ReviewBenedict DAn enjoyable movie, but nothing that great. |
| User ReviewBrett BA "movie of the week" television chiller from the early 1970s directed by Steven Spielberg (!). It's very much of its time, though Sandy Dennis and Darren McGavin have a nice, easy chemistry, and Spielberg's fingerprints can definitely be felt in the shot composition and the rhythm of the editing. There are a couple of effectively creepy moments, but overall, the plot doesn't hold up particularly well. It's a curiosity more than anything else, but it's certainly interesting and worth a look for fans of Spielberg. |
| User ReviewPaul DEarly Spielberg television movie that has a rugged look to it but one that appeals. It could be a feature given the style and grade of film used and the sinister devilish storyline succeeds as there's little on show other than creepy occurrences that capture the imagination. |
| User ReviewOrlok WIt's not "Duel", but nevertheless another tense TV-thriller from young Spielberg--Old Style Creep Show!! |
| User ReviewMichael HA pretty darned creepy made for TV movie directed by Stephen Spielberg in 1971. Darren McGavin is a solid presence and the head of the family who gives in to young wife Sandy Dennis' desire to buy a country home. This places him at a considerable distance during the work day and leaves her and their son, Johnny Whitaker (Jody from Family Affair), at the mercy of ... the neighbors? ... their imaginations? ... something else? Spielberg at this point is already a master of suspense and audience manipulation. |
| User ReviewEdward CI've been searching for this movie for at least two decades. I saw it 38 years ago when I was six years old, and it FREAKED ME OUT. The spooky crying baby, the mason jar pulsing with life inside it, the "pentangles," and especially the weird eyes in the window showing up on a film. Seriously, this movie haunted my entire childhood. Last night I was looking at the credits of Sandy Dennis on IMDb and on the off chance this was the movie I remembered I clicked through. Then I found it on YouTube in its entirety. Now, the movie gets a giant meh, But it's very interesting, to me, to compare/contrast the movie's reality against my distant memory of it. |
| User ReviewDirk SSolid first work of Spielberg, but nothing great or spectecualr bad. No wonder nobody remembers it. |
