Summary

A U.S. ambassador and his wife are horrified to learn that their little son might just be the antichrist in this movie that redefines the term ‘problem child.’ It’s played more as a thriller than a horror flick, and benefits from director Richard Donner’s restraint and subtlety. Tense and spooky.

A classic example of ‘horror-light’ – a movie that succeeds in scaring its audience witless without using most of the stock accoutrements of standard horror movies. - Brian Webster
