Overview
Quiet, withdrawn 13-year-old Rynn Jacobs lives peacefully in her home in a New England beach town. Whenever the prying landlady inquires after Rynn’s father, she politely claims that he’s in the city on business. But when the landlady’s creepy and increasingly persistent son, Frank, won’t leave Rynn alone, she teams up with kindly neighbor boy Mario to maintain the dark family secret that she’s been keeping to herself.

Viewing Notes
Another one from my Childhood Movies Project (yep, that’s still going). Definitely haven’t seen this since I was a kid and freaked me out. Was so disturbing it gave me nightmares. Watching today I can understand why. Martin Sheen is terrifying (that hamster scene is what did it me). Such a creepy movie in general and an amazing performance by Jodie Foster at 13 years old. Also shocked that she’s nude in a scene which I can’t imagine happening today for any 13 year old.
