When a high school student finds herself kidnapped, spirited away to far-off place, and locked in the basement of old, defunct music academy with a suicidal young man and an evil demon, her troubles are just beginning.
Fair-Haired Child only has one recognizable name actor in it Lori Petty but the entire small cast is top-notch. Director William Malone does a good job in the one-hour format bringing together the threads of a story that span 15 years and culminate in a single night of unspeakable evil.
The attention to detail in Fair-Haired Child from the elegant décor of the stately mansion inside, to the bony wind chimes that gruesomely clink in the night outside is breathtaking, and the cinematography is sumptuous. The music, too, plays an important role.
The Masters of Horror anthology series has done a great job so far of not following a theme; while all of the episodes are horror, they're not zingers ala Twilight Zone, or morality yarns ala Tales From the Crypt. Malone's entry is more along the lines of a traditional supernatural horror story, and it's got some good scares and fun visuals. It's a far better than "fair" addition to the scary series!
