The screenwriters stayed very close to Little's original story...I thought the beginning could have been cut down a tad, and the "6-month later" post ending was kind-of silly, but with those minor flaws aside, this was easily one of the best MASTERS OF HORROR episodes I've seen. There's some good, creepy moments, and the entire premise is downright spooky. Bloody good show here!
I'd like go know what Bentley Little thought of this, as well as other fans of the original story. The acting is fine, although the little girl's screams are kind-of unconvincing. I'm looking forward to the DVD.
