Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDennis Weaver reads an article about a house "made entirely out of bottles". His own famous home was made out of recycled tires, cans and bottles.
- GoofsThe radio is plugged into a socket across from the bath/shower. Mary "accidently" unplugs the radio instead of the dryer and then plugs it back in. The radio is set inside the bathtub near the father's feet, with the cord still outside the tub area. Next the cord is seen being pulled tight by someone (unseen) which pulls the radio into the bath water. From this angle, pulling the radio by its cord would cause it to fall onto the bathroom floor, not in the tub.

Featured review
I recently heard about this movie and found a 'collector's copy' (read: bootleg) on e-bay(it's a made-for-tv film that was never released on video). To say this movie is scary, creepy and one of the best tv movies ever made is a complete understatement. After watching it, I was stunned and totally freaked out. Dennis Weaver and Valerie Harper are amazing as the parents of a little girl who keeps seeing the ghost of her dead sister, killed a year earlier in a mysterious accident (I guarantee you M. Night Shumaylan used this film as an inspiration for THE SIXTH SENSE). The scene where Weaver and Harper confront/attack each other over the death of their child is frightening and heartbreaking. That scene alone should have netted both of them an emmy, especially Harper. She's brilliant.
Frightening, eerie, creepy, and very ballsy for a tv movie from 1982 (produced by Aaron Spelling!). Current television MOW writers should hang their heads in shame when they compare the current disease-of-the-week drivel they churn out with this classic ghost story (written by actor Ned Wynn, son of actor Keenan Wynn). Whoever owns the rights to this (I'm assuming ABC) please get it out on DVD or else I'M gonna start bootlegging it! The public has GOT to get this!
