The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
Directed by Nicolas Gessner
To all outward appearances, Rynn Jacobs is a pretty thirteen-year-old, living with her poet-father in a cottage just outside of a sea-coast village in the United States. But appearances are deceiving. Mr. Jacobs has not been seen by anyone in months. The house itself seems to hold some dark secret. And Rynn is leading the life of a near-recluse, venturing from her home only for necessities.
What dark secrets does 13 year-old Rynn Jacobs hold? Jodie Foster stars in the classic chiller.
Cast: Jodie Foster, Mort Shuman, Martin Sheen, Alexis Smith, Scott Jacoby

One of my favourites. The nude scene was a body double and not Jodie Foster. It was her sister who was 21 at the time.
I have never understood how they've cosnsitently managed to palm this movie off as, in any way, anything like 'horror'?
To those incorrectly slamming this movie for portraying child nudity, it doesn't. The nude scene was done by a body double, the 21 yr old sister of Jodie Foster! Anyways a good movie of is time.
Very good early performance from Foster and Sheen is marvelous as the slimy villain.
