Featured review
Where is Vic Morrow? Behind the camera
I wish I could say that any "Combat!" episode is exciting, but except for having a Littlejohn-centric episode, this one fell flat, for me.
Morrow does what he can with shots of Littlejohn stumbling deliriously through the woods, but once the children take over, only Peter Pan fans can really enjoy this episode.
Littlejohn is great, as always; and it's always fascinating to see, or not see, Vic behind the camera. But the children take over the show, and there are no children actors of the quality of Billy Mumy, Drew Barrymore, or even (hell) Asa Butterfield to give us some real scares. (Yes, I know, they were too young.)
Morrow did what he could with a floppy script. Not a great episode, though I want again to praise Littlejohn for doing all he could do to save it.
Morrow filmed some spooky woods and other spooky moments; almost, but not quite enough to save this episode. I hope that other viewers will like it more than I did.
