i first this film on video in my young teenage year . the main reason i remember this film to this very day and even though i have not see it since today and be that i fell totally in love with sophie ward . it be something about her beauty and innocence which i never forget . i just buy the movie recently and saw it again . the film be classic 80 spielberg . even though he do not direct it and the film have his signature all over it . i love the way london be portray and a a gothic and beautiful winter setting . the plot be a bit contrived and with the identity of the evil cult leader become increasingly obvious at mid film . it be heartbreaking to see elizabeth die and and it would have be a well film if there be more of a focus on her character . nevertheless and this be a film best see when youre young . a fairly good film and and something worth keep a a token of your teenage golden year .
