This Canadian made thriller/horror with a budget of two million dollars was incredibly filmed in just over 3 weeks and you'd never tell.
Around the mid nineties there seemed to be a trend of such movies about psychotic childrem such as Macaulay Culkin/Elijah Woods The Good Son (1993) and Mikey (1992). They tended to be passable affairs but the moment any tried to be anything beyond psychological they lost credibility.
Here we see a paper boy (Shocker) besotted with a young mother and does everything in his power to become part of her life, even if it means taking out those who stand in his way.
The actor playing the kid never went on to bigger and better things and that is a shame as he is excellent here. Also starring Alexandra "Baywatch" Paul and William "One of my personal favorite actors" Katt alongside industry veteran the late great Frances Bay. The cast truly do make a movie that on paper should have been mediocre into something relatively watchable.
Sure it's predictible and some moments are more than slightly far fetched, but it's watchable stuff for what it is.
The Good:
Stellar cast
Competent antagonist
The Bad:
Seen it before
Some moments are a tad silly
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
This is reason no.534755378334890 why I've not had kids
Baywatch both started and killed Alexandra Pauls career
