While "Le ballon rouge" (1956) is a well-known Albert Lamorisse film, this film, made three years prior, is an important work for understanding Albert Lamorisse's cinematic language. Furthermore, Albert Lamorisse's position in French culture cannot be overlooked. Considering all these elements, it's not at all surprising that this film was listed and restored by the Criterion Collection.
It's also quite ironic that Albert Lamorisse and Alain Emery's cinematic journeys followed parallel paths.
This might not be the sole or the best adaptation of French author René Guillot's children's book of the same name, but it is undoubtedly still the most naive adaptation.

It's been a long time since I watched something truly 'independent'. Miles Dixon has proven himself to be a promising filmmaker with his storytelling style in his own written story and his directorial choices while telling it. I hope he doesn't stray from this path and pursues a career in cinema...
I hope he continues his career in cinema because today's film industry has become a dead end, especially for independent filmmakers, and people get tired before they even set out on this path.
And of course; Jaeden Martell... There's no need to explain him, he's Jaeden Martell... More grown-up, more developed, more defined in character, but still Jaeden Martell...

In West Pittston, Pennsylvania, Jack and Janet Smurl claimed that their home was haunted by a demon between 1974 and 1989. The Smurls' allegations received extensive media coverage, and while paranormal investigators looked into the family's supernatural claims, clergy members, psychologists, and scientific skeptics offered more concrete explanations. The events truly became a major incident.
The Smurls' experiences were the subject of a book titled "The Haunted," published in 1986, and a television film of the same name released by 20th Century Fox in 1991.
Of course, both the Smurl family and the film/book are eventually forgotten... I stumbled upon this incident/film by chance while researching Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Although the film is no more than an average TV movie, it has a high rewatch value because it is the only film to tackle these events and does so effectively. At the very least, it doesn't deserve to be lost in the dustbin of cinema history.
