The Fair Haired Child (2006)

This really is a sad story. It's about a man and a woman who lost their only child and carry a certain amount of guilt and will do whatever it takes to bring him back. Even if it means making a deal with the devil. The ending really got me too, I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. Bit I imagine for those who already saw it the ending somewhat caught them off guard too the first time they saw it.Every director has their own little trademark and this is defiantly has a William Malone feel. I can see some cues from 'House on Haunted Hill' here which makes this creepy. I always liked Lori Petty because she's a little off beat in everything she does, and it's kind of interesting to see her with hair.Although I gave it a 7, I really enjoyed it. It does have it's short comings for me, but it is fun to watch.

I really liked this one. Sometimes it does seem a bit overacted (and I can't remember seeing one of the female leads in anything, since Tank Girl), but always interesting to watch. If only, for the very nice camera work (and editing). While the story is OTT, this doesn't mean it will let you off the hook easily.The spooky atmosphere adds a lot to this and if you can't accept the actors (or the director as is apparent, by some reviews), then you won't really get behind the episode. Plus you shouldn't forget, that this isn't a movie, but just an episode of a Horror series. A good one (not the best) at that.Flaws (it has quite a few, especially in the story itself, it does not seem always coherent) aside, this one is one to watch, definitely!

C'mon people, i really don¡t understand why some of you says that this is a good movie. Trust me, i have seen a lot of horror movies, and this is one of the worst, not the WORST (beacause "The Brink" wons that tittle years ago) but this is on my top 10 of bad-bad horror movies of all the time. Bad Effects. Bad History. No blood. No gore. No Horror.and ... this is a horror movie right?So, please people. Don't See this movie. Its Crap, like a millions other. Just don't waste your time in this, save your money, or whatever.

The other reviewer must have watched a different version than I did? Also the obvious bias against the director is more than obvious! Most people don't give a hoot, or will even know or care that the director did "Fear.Com!" Taken as an installment in the Masters of Horror series, I consider this to be one of the best! I watch every horror/sci-fi/fantasy flick that comes out and this episode actually had me scared! The use of early silent era (Nosferatu, etc.,) skip-frame technique (that jerky movement: every 5th-6th frame) really works here and lends a superb atmosphere of the 'supernatural' to the object in question! The other reviewer had issues with this director being called a "Master of Horror"? Look at the bulk of work by the other directors in this series!! Yikes! Not what I call a brilliant body of work!! That doesn't mean they can't make a good short feature! I think some of the other directors best works are part of this series! I saw it on cable first..then bought it! A must see!!!
