this be a very good and make for tv film . it depict trouble in suburbia circa 1970 and the sort of neighbor one certainly do not want to have around . the bad and most upsetting part of the film be when the punk teenager kill the family dog . the teen do everything to annoy and harass this poor family . but boy . and do the lead character take vengeance on those punk teenager in the end . the father or homeowner surely do not take all of the aggravation from the punk teens lightly and be quick to retaliate after lack of help from the police that be . he stand up to them and protect his home and his family . a very good actor . i might add . i watch this on tv when i be like 8 or 9. i have never see it again on tv and would like to . definitely a good one . it the sort of movie one may catch on a weekday night very late at night and can not stop watching or an afternoon film on a weekend . it the kind they just do not show anymore . it be definitely worth see .
