This ranks with TRILOGY OF TERROR as one of the scariest TV movies I've ever seen. Larry Drake is great as the mentally disabled man who is tormented by the locals. Overall, the film's score is delightfully eerie. The performances are pretty good. The atmosphere is creepy (even though the little girl makes us feel like we're watching a LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE episode). I wish I could find this on at least video soon.
