Dave โ˜… 9.0

"Early and controversial Jodie Foster vehicle that has her playing the titular โ€œLittle Girlโ€ trying her best to survive in the (somewhat) fictional town of Wells Harbor, Maine. Wise beyond her years, Rynnโ€™s plan can best be described as sounded-good-idea-on-paper, but quickly unravels when she found in the crosshairs of a local pervert, his nosy mother, a town policeman and his nephew (a polio ridden magician). The Halloween into Thanksgiving New England time frame enhances the seasideโ€™s funereal atmosphere with a classical score and sharp, interesting dialog. A must for fans of โ€™70โ€™s chillers and fans of unconventional suspense."
