Movie Info

In this Canadian thriller, Jodie Foster plays the title character, a reclusive, fiercely self-reliant teenager who lives alone in her father's house. When visitors call, Foster explains that her father is away on business. He's away, all right...far, far, away. And Foster, determined not to lose her independence, will go to any lengths to protect her secret, a fact that nosy neighbor Alexis Smith learns to her regret. A new danger to Foster's well-being looms in the form of pedophile Martin

The novelistic strangeness of the material is compounded by the stagy reticence of Nicolas Gassner's direction

A creepy atmospheric shocker oddity that's engrossing and suspenseful.

Um curioso e atípico suspense que traz Sheen em uma performance impecavelmente repulsiva e que também se beneficia da atuação assustadora de Foster, que, com apenas 13 anos, já se mostrava uma atriz completa.

Audience Reviews for The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

A low budget 70's horror classic with perverse underpinnings. Similar to Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) and The Last House on the Left (1972) but much more subtle and enigmatic.

A pretty creepy movie. Jodie Foster plays a 14 year old who lives by herself. She is smart and willing to do anything to keep herself out of foster care (ha ha).
