The late 70s and early 80s were a great time for some really spooky made for TV movies. At least that is my memory of things. Well if you grew up in the 80s and had brothers or sisters then this movie most certainly freaked you out.
Phillip and Laura just lost their daughter Jennifer and have moved to LA (because that is where Spelling is) with their remaining children Mary and Kevin. Mary keeps hearing her dead sister but no one believes her. That is till the killings start.
Now I watched this back in the day and at the time I loved the fact that the mystery could go one of two ways. Either really a ghost or everything was a product of Mary's psychosis. As a teen just discovering psychology I thought that was great.
Of course, now, the punch is a little less. Not just due to seeing it before but also time. Though I was surprised by how well the movie holds up to now. Re-film this in modern LA and not change a bit of dialog...ok there are some changes that would have to be done...but otherwise it would still work.
