Jodie's Talent Shined November 12, 2008
Jodie Foster carried this film from the beginning through the final, lingering shot. I am surprised it has not been shown more often on cable stations. It was a great film revealing glimpses of one of our most consistent performers.

On reflection, one of the film's strengths was that no one overplayed a part.

RUBBISH October 20, 2008

WORST piece of garbage ever put on film! Production value is like a bad 70's after-school special. NOT a thriller or suspenseful in any way. The score had me laughing, I think it may have been tracks from the Barnababy Jones TV show. It's a horror all right, horrible story, writing, plot, character development - you name it. Aside from the fact that Jody Foster is very good in her roll - this was worse than sitting through "Water World" again.

Jodie Foster in an Unforgettable Performance October 14, 2008
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker
Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake

In this unusual, quite effective 1976 thriller, Jodie Foster plays a 13-year-old who ostensibly lives with her poet father in an isolated house in a small rural community.

However, we "know" early in the proceedings that the father is, in fact, dead and Jodie is surviving with the money he had put aside for her and also by her own wits.

Problems arise for the young girl when Martin Sheen, a known child molester whose indiscretions have been covered up by his wealthy mother (Alexis Smith), arrives on her doorstep and starts making advances toward her. Jodie is able to get rid of him, but he is determined to get what he wants and to also learn the girl's dark, deadly secret.

There are several surprising plot twists in this Nicholas Gessner-directed gem, and Ms. Foster's final, lingering close-up is unforgettable.

About time to make a remake? August 10, 2008
I remember seing this film as a kid at 14, and ever sinse i bought my first vcr i have been trying to get a hold of this movie...
well......
let me just say, time flies....
I LOVE Jodie Foster in this movie,
Full of confidence and showmanship after the success in Taxidriver and
Bugsy Malone. However.. the cutting, both on the visual AND the soundtrack are poor and Miss Fosters exellent work truly deserves a better craftmanship than the final result.
It would have been REALLY interisting to see what Miss Foster could have done as a director on a remake on this potential creepy story....
