Viewing Notes
Maybe I saw this when it came out in ‘89, but I don’t remember anything. Based on the very famous story of a Midland girl fallind down the pipe for an old water well. Overall, this is pretty cheesy, but it does get a little touching near the end when they finally get her out.
What I don’t understand is why they left that hole like it was in the first place. Not only do they have an 18-month-old kid but there was a home daycare running out of the place. A place with nothing but a large rock over a hole that goes down around 80 feet into the ground.
Idiots.
