I was disappointed when I watched this film again.
I saw it when I was a kid but it doesn't stand up to the test of time.
The relationship between the killer and the girl just wouldn't work now in modern cinema.
In this their friendship is innocent (no pun intended), but I am sure if this film was remade, Hollywood would put a much sinister slant on it. It's unavoidable in a way. She's 11 and he's early 20s.
The film drags on far too much, and when all is said and done there isn't much of a story. It's a disjointed film, uneven and boring in parts.
I didn't like it much and couldn't wait for it to end. The bleak surroundings and black and white print didn't help much.
The acting is average. The ending unsurprising. Just 4/10.
