The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

1976

Nicolas Gessner
Director

Tale of underage girl who fakes her father's existence in order to lead a quiet life (she wishes).

Extraordinary performance from Jodie Foster in this brilliantly creepy little thriller with splendid twists from Laird Koenig's novel. Highly recommended.

(also the inspiration for a terrific song by Sad Cafe).
