Cast: Jodie Foster, Alexis Smith, Martin Sheen
Synopsis:
A 13 year-old girl living in a leased house in a well-to-do Quebec suburb awaits the return of her father on business when she is harassed by the landlady's pervert of a son and the landlady herself.
Review:
Queasy thriller with nods to Les Diaboliques and other mystery horrors of its ilk: the subversion of teenage victim to teenage murderess is a typical reversal. Unfortunately the handling is lacking in conviction and the film mires in the complications pertaining to the heroine's dalliance with her crippled accomplice.
