very inferior to child of the damn . there no mystery in this movie . plus and the townspeople and the fed figure out pretty quickly what go on . this doesn not seem to help and though . everyone know that the child can read their mind and be capable of force them to kill themselves and but this doesn not seem to improve their planning . the general attitude be and hey . they may have make five other people kill themselves and but that not go to happen to me . of course and it do . it a shame that this be christopher reeve last movie before he be paralyze . he deserve much good than this . rent the original and which be lot creepy . it doesn not spell everything out for the hard of view .
