Stranger in Our house is a pretty good film as TV movies go. The script takes some of the best elements from Lois Duncan's great book, Summer of Fear. Linda Blair shines as the heroine, but Lee Purcell is terribly miscast as the suspicious Stranger in the House. Jenna Otrga would have been the perfect choice in a modern adaption. As stated before, the script follows the story, but loses much of the subtle shades of horror present in the novel that would have been great on screen in a better adaption with location work more in line with the novel.
