"Great acting, very well done movie, loved the ending 💀"
Ophelia
"Must see movie! It is referenced so much in other genres and movies and people have never seen the original. Patty McCormick cannot be replaced. Carrie had nothing on this little girl."
Nicole Graham - Morris
"Reminds me of someone I know lol"
Christine Crennan
"Hortense as the grieving mother and comic relief was an amazing character. So tragic yet had me cackling, talking about interrupting Rhoda's social life. Great movie!"
Charlotte
"Is it long? Yes. Is it creepy? Also yes. If you enjoy a slow burn psychological drama, (emphasis on the slow) this might be a good watch for you. Nancy Kelly's turn as a mother mourning the loss of innocence is iconic. Are some people born bad?"
