Full review
I first watched this film when I was about 14 in a girly sleepover and we were scared s**tless. I watched it again a few years later and found it more disturbing than frightning.
It's a psychological horror movie centered around a girl who is ill with a fever and various other symptoms. While she's ill he draws a house and hey, what do ya know-she dreams that it's real and she's there. She then draws and boy but draws him at the window so his legs aren't visible-I think you can guess that bit.
Finally she draws her father with an angry face and that is where it gets scary.

It turns into a game of cat and mouse and by the end she is afraid to go to sleep any more.

It may sound a cliched film but it's worth a look if there's nothing else on, it's definitely one of the better older horror films.
