31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 24: THE CHILD 1977 (SOMETHING WEIRD)

It has been many years since I first saw this bizarre little film.

I believe movie takes place in the 1930's or 40's but I can't be sure. It's a twisted tale about a young housekeeper named Alicianne (Laurel Barnett) who comes to a rural home to take care of a child named Rosalie (Rosalie Cole).

Right away we discover that Rosalie is a problem child who seeks revenge on those that she believes are responsible for the death of her mother.

How does she do this? Well she has some special friends that are walking corpses. By the end of the movie Alicianne and a farmhand find themselves very outnumbered in a final showdown with the walking dead.

Now, I have a ton of questions that the film never answers such as how is Rosalie able to raise the dead, what has her life really been like and how many people has she killed with her friends?

I don't like or dislike this movie. It's what I call a guilty pleasure, because it makes no sense and never really comes together. The leading lady is Laurel Bennett and her acting career lasted only 3 years.

She is an attractive woman, but she cannot this movie on her own. If you get the chance and have never seen this, you may want to check it out. The ending is wild and leaves the viewer wondering what has happened.
