Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • As this was originally a CBS made-for-TV movie in 1981, it is quite tame compared to today's standards.
  • The entire film is frightening and intense and very creepy, especially considering that it was made for TV in 1981. Even by today's standards it is not appropriate for young children. It is quite nightmare-inducing.
