5KNight Kill – Eine tödliche Bedrohung: Directed by Wes Craven. With Linda Blair, Lee Purcell, Jeremy Slate, Jeff McCracken. A teenage girl’s life is turned upside down after her cousin moves into her house, and as time goes by, she begins to suspect that she may be a practitioner of witchcraft.
“Lois Duncanu0026#39;s young-adult mystery novel u0026quot;Summer of Fearu0026quot; gets a fine, if low-budget, television treatment, capably directed by Wes Craven. Intriguing story features an appealing Linda Blair playing popular young woman and horse-rider whose family takes in her orphaned cousin–a perplexing girl who harbors secret evil powers. Cravenu0026#39;s pacing is careful and sneaky, drawing the viewer in while mounting Blairu0026#39;s suspicions with just the right touch of creepy delicacy. Lee Purcell is excellent as cousin Julia, pulling off a showy role without lapsing into camp (although the make-up and special effects near the finish are somewhat cartoonish by todayu0026#39;s standards). A compact thriller, very well done, and Blair–as always–is charming and makes her character easily identifiable to viewers.”
