The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976)
Member Rating:  
In this Canadian thriller, Jodie Foster plays the title character, a reclusive, fiercely self-reliant teenager who lives alone in her father's house. When visitors call, Foster explains that her father is away on business. He's away, all right...far, far, away. And Foster, determined not to lose her independence, will go to any lengths to protect her secret, a fact that nosy neighbor Alexis Smith learns to her regret. A new danger to Foster's well-being looms in the form of pedophile Martin Sheen, who schemes to place the girl in a compromising position. Offering a helping hand to Foster is misfit teenager Mario (Scott Jacoby). Laird Koenig adapted his own novel to the screen. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Entertaining movie and Jodie shows she will outlast the test of time. People will be watching her movies in the year 3000.

I love Jodie Foster, she absolutely MADE this movie. I will never look at Martin Sheen the same way that I used to though. His portrayl of a pedophyle (sp?) was far too disturbing (but he did a great job) If you're squeamish to teen sex and nudity (Jodie Foster is briefly yet fully nude for about 30 seconds) there's a few scenes to fast forward, you wont miss anything crucial to the story. If you like disturbing movies, go for it.

Jodie Foster really shows us what can do in this original horror thiller that has the same fomula as a stage play. The best thing is how this film constantly teases your suspicions as to where her father is, or if he's alive. If you're an animal lover, get keep your finger near the fast-foward button when Martin Sheen picks up Foster's hamster.
