My Review
This one movie I never thought I see in Jodie Foster In horror movie well I see how it goes she might be good she is great at movies for acting.
Movie starts off with her walking on beach and coming home it is her birthday she about to eat the cake then Martin Sheen shows up and his character is a little odd because he ask questions about her where her father and he very into this house like he wants to know what going on in here this should be a interesting character for him I see many of his movies and he too is great at acting but find his character interesting too.
This girl is indeed hiding something she said she lives with her father but I see no father figure within the movie too me I think he is dead and she not telling and there other later on city later goes to Celler or old basement area and see something scare her door hits her in the head and there she dies what did she down there that scared her something did they did not show yet something they are probably saving for the end hope it is a scary secret and not some lame thing as movie goes on people get Suspicious on her living her by herself and no father in sight later on woman who was killed son shows up Martin sheen character by the way shows up asking questions like a crazy guy he wonder what she up too a lot the boy who was her guest kicked him out least someone stick up her then he her and her go down to celler they made it can of creepy with the music but again did not show anything.
I be again to wonder is her father dead body there or something more worst then that well there wasn’t much build up much which they should of done because if not means they won’t tell us too much is what I thinking but they had to do too me this look like a friendship movie between Mario yes his name is Mario.
Later on the police guy returns then later on her father shows up but Mario was dress up as her father very creepy then it turn into love story but the boy is cough a lot he was lucky he could of die the policeman said so she goes visit him in hospital and tell him she loves him then comes home and goes to bed but hears door slam it is creepy Frank that shows up they have tea and cookies that poison him and boom the movie ended what a odd movie.
Ok acting was good but plot boring some this felt like a TV movie with 1 gore and some blood And little bit of nudity and the ending was little poor my guess low Budget movie where the heck was her father the whole time the writing seem a little lost her because this indeed not horror too much just a normal story on girl living on her well own is from what I see this was more drama as well will say Jodie again did a great job in this is the only sliver light of this movie otherwise did not like it much probably would not watch again but again acting is good will keep it from a poor rating.
I give the Girl that lives down lane (1976) a rating of 7/10
