Me and Bill watched this on the projector last week and loved it to bits. In fact Bill has been going on about it all week, saying how awesome it was. Thing is, when he asked me if there were other films like it I couldn't really come up with any - he's desperate for that experience again. Any advice?
I'm talking about the Harry Novak film, btw, in case no-one realised.

Frank's right!!!!

Tony - The Child was a one-off - ie, the people who made it then went back to their day jobs. The FAB Press book Nightmare USA is a good place to start to look for similar stuff, or alternatively the 'Backwoods USA' section of my blog, which I'm going to fill with reviews of those kinds of movies.

It made me more convinced that the best horror films are made without huge skill but much instinct. I mean this one was a little too close to being just bad, but there was the definite sense of their having conjured a spell up for the duration.
