Negative Positive
Title: As usual, this makes me want to see the original
Review: This was a good idea but it comes off a bad, made-for-TV movie. Where was John Ritter? And they made poor Mark Hamill weird. However, the strength of the movie was the little actress who played Maura. It's not easy to play a bad little girl. She does as well a job as McCormack in "The Bad Seed". Most child actors overact. However, her dialogue between her father (as a representative of the adult normal world) is very riveting (not to mention logical) and she gives her part the right amount of eerieness. My favorite line from her: "Things are going to change around here." I want to say that to my boss.The little boy who played David is also touching. Everyone else-- a Bronx cheer! However, Kirstie Alley does show a hint of being able to be a good villian ala Christopher Walken.
