Early and controversial Jodie Foster vehicle that has her playing the titular “Little Girl” trying her best to survive in the (somewhat) fictional town of Wells Harbor, Maine. Wise beyond her years, Rynn’s plan can best be described as sounded-good-idea-on-paper, but quickly unravels when she found in the crosshairs of a local pervert, his nosy mother, a town policeman and his nephew (a polio ridden magician). The Halloween into Thanksgiving New England time frame enhances the seaside’s funereal atmosphere with a classical score and sharp, interesting dialog. A must for fans of ’70’s chillers and fans of unconventional suspense.
