i saw this about 14 year ago in a stroke of luck ( a local tv station have pick up a print and and my mother and horror buff that she be and decide to tape it ) and and the film have stick with me ever since . it not your typical horror film and and have more of a tragic element which be so very common to film of the genre in this particular era . the dark and dirty imagery only serve to enhance the premise and and the shrine the hook child build to their mother be downright creepy . the child do a very decent job of portray child ( something that be increasingly rare these day ) and dirk bogarde do a fantastic job of portray their scumbag father . and to boot and we have get a heavy incest theme go on . if you can get a hold of this one and go for it represent it very much of it time and but the opportunity be well worth any trouble .
