Glad I finally got around to watching this film. I do love my evil child films and this one to many is the granddaddy of them all. It's pretty darn great too.

From what I understand they kept the broadway cast, who all do a great job, but they changed the ending which is a bit of a shame. And they made the odd decision to have a cast call at the end of the film which really kills the effect of the abrupt ending.

You can tell it's based on a play, it's very talky and there's only one or two locations. But Patty McCormack is such a delightful little shit of a child and the others are fine so it manages to hold your attentions.
