Disney release this scary film for the little ‘ens in 1980. Apparently it developed quite a cult following among children. It scared the hell out of them, but parents would rent it since it was a Disney G rated film. A family moves into Betty Davis’s house, the eldest daughter Jan resembles Davis’s now lost daughter Karen. Karen communicates to Jan through her little sister. Jan figures out she needs to save Karen. Meanwhile in the woods is this watcher, watching and occasionally firing a laser or breaking glass. It’s full of child-like scary imagery, but also lots and lots of jumpy scenes. Through this jumpy atmosphere the film can ignore such things as character development, or good dialogue and acting. But its for the kids, so I really can’t complain.
