The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

Quiet, withdrawn 13-year-old Rynn Jacobs lives peacefully in her home in a New England beach town. Whenever the prying landlady inquires after Rynn's father, she politely claims that he's in the city on business. But when the landlady's creepy and increasingly persistent son, Frank, won't leave Rynn alone, she teams up with kindly neighbor boy Mario to maintain the dark family secret that she's been keeping to herself.
Every single character in this movie is a dysfunctional freak but that doesn't mean I didn't like the movie. It was an enjoyable suspense thriller that definitely touches on quite a few controversial subjects. There were some nice twists and Jodie Foster shows off some incredible acting skills for someone so young. The movie is quite weird though and those with a taste for safer fare should probably avoid this.
