Disturbing

I first saw this movie when I was a child and had to sneak around my mother to watch it. The movie disturbed me enough that I searched for the title for 15 years, still remembering the movie, until I found it. This is probably not a good movie for children, since the parts I remember are not very good for small eyes to view.

I remember this movie! And that's why I'm going to have my daughter watch it...

I remember watching this movie when I was little...and I think (not sure) my mom and dad may have been wanting to teach me about the monsters out there. I think this movie is the best way to make our kids aware of the sick, twisted individuals that threaten to hurt our kids or change their lives forever. This is a must see for naive young girls who don't seem to "get" fully how there are monsters out there. Yes, some may say it will scare them. I'd rather have my daughter scared than have her end up a victim. I know it made ME wiser when I was little...cause I was just like my daughter....overly friendly-never meets a stranger.

Wow! This movie had a HUGE impact on me as a tween when it came out.

To this day, anytime I see Richard Masur, "Howard" in anything, I am still totally creeped out. Granted, I was only 11 When I saw it, but I think his performance was amazing. As an adult looking back now, I imagine it was a difficult role for him to play. And Dana Hill was great too. Her "average kid" persona made the movie so much more realistic. The movie really helped me see and understand what the grooming process looks like, and what to look for as a child. I hope I can find it online somewhere so I can show my daughter.

Tense to watch

I actually watched this movie at school of all places! It was in 1983 and I guess the school board wanted all young people to know about this disturbing topic. This movie is very tense for me to watch, I have a twelve year old daughter myself. This was a well made TV movie that I will give a solid 8/10.

This movie saved my life.

I wish they would remake this movie in modern day. Or at a minimum, re-release it on DVD. I watched it on local TV (like a Saturday afternoon special) some where around June or early July, 1981, just days before my 12th birthday. I specifically remember sitting on the floor at the foot of my mother's bed. They had a master on the main and we had to roll the TV cart into the French doorway from the living room. I was just captivated as I realized that what had been happening to me for the last 3 years was not normal, but very wrong.

Quiz
Richard Masur once told an interviewer that he got his part because "the other 20 people they went to before me wouldn't do it." He also praised Dana Hill's acting abilities and intelligence.

Blooper
When Howard leaves the boys' apartment before the ball game, The Diamond Head Game (1975) is playing on the living room TV (a series distributed by Columbia Pictures Television, who also packaged this film). The short-lived game show aired for the first half of 1975, yet the film is clearly set in the present time (late 1980, when filming took place).

Citazioni
Jane Rizzo: [last lines of film, in voice-over, giving her closing argument during Howard's trial] And so, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we ask all adults to look at those below our eye level. To take seriously America's current adult-child relations. There are one million runaways today. Child suicide has tripled in the last ten years; thirty each day. More than half the patients in our mental institutions are under twenty-one. Many children rarely relate to their parents, to the adults in their community, or the adults on television. And into this void walks the pedophile, the child lover. Now, we don't want to suggest that every coach, every teacher, every adult our children come in contact with is a pedophile. It is possible that he or she might be, but it is not possible for our children to be psychologically seduced by these sick people, if we know and love and discipline and talk to and discover what is in the very bright minds of the youngsters in our lives. We do want to suggest to you, the jury, that we can take one step closer in spanning America's adult-child chasm by finding Howard Nichols guilty.
