I'm not exactly sure of the date this film was made, but it was late 70's early 80's I think. I dont think this film was ever very popular in its own right, but its my all time favourite movie.

In these days, this film is very out-of-date, but I still love it. Its scary enough to send a shiver up your spine, but not scary in a blood and guts kind of way. I would class this as a mystery film, and the ending is smashing. It's a typical 70-80's Disney film, but if you go in open-minded, it should prove enjoyable, light-hearted viewing.
