Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Deep within the desperate hearts of the bereaved there is a pact with the forces of darkness that demands new blood to resurrect the souls of the dead. Lori Petty ( A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN and TANK GIRL) stars as a grieving mother with a remote estate a ghastly secret and a locked basement where abducted teen outcasts await an evil that feasts upon their virgin flesh. But to satisfy a parent s depraved bargain the beast must feed one final time. And tonight the ultimate horror will begin for those who do not heed the hunger of THE FAIR HAIRED CHILD.Lindsay Pulsipher and William Samples co-star in this relentlessly creepy saga scripted by Matt Greenberg (HALLOWEEN H20 REIGN OF FIRE) and directed by William Malone that The Horror Channel calls a perfect dark fairy tale one of the most solid and impressive episodes to dateSystem Requirements:Run Time: 55 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: NR UPC: 013131447095 Manufacturer No: DV14470

Amazon.com:
The ninth episode in the celebrated Masters of Horror series, The Fair Haired Child, unfortunately may have the least scare power. Director William Malone's (Feardotcom, The House on Haunted Hill) choice to cast the outcast teen, Tara (Lindsay Pulsipher), as a cute blond girl more suited to The O.C. than to horror, spoils an initial opportunity to convince the viewer of her suffering. Weak acting is the biggest detriment, however. As Tara is kidnapped and thrown into a psychotic couple's basement as a sacrifice to the Devil to bring their dead son, Johnny (Jesse Haddock), back to life, Tara's fear fails to translate into real dread. Black-and-white flashbacks of the sick married couple watching helplessly as their son drowns are equally corny. Johnny, the child zombie haunted by guilt he feels for living at the expense of others, especially Tara's, is the only interesting character. The fact that he is mute, communicating by scribbling thoughts into dirt, makes him eerily prophetic. As a character, Johnny terrifies more than the stop-motion demon who steals teens away to the netherworld. Like House of Whipcord, this story of a basement-turned-torture chamber has appeal for its archetypal plot concept, but The Fair Hair Child lacks actors who convey real angst. --Trinie Dalton
