Watch The Fair Haired Child For Free

Thanks for the memories!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

"The Fair Haired Child" is more morbid drama than horror. Here, gore and shockers are put aside to make way to parental love and madness caused by the loss of a child, social anxiety and loneliness, an inner struggle between the urge for survival and love for the other, and romance that is often found where we least expect it. All packed in a sick story about the bloody pact that a married couple makes with a demon in order to revive the dead son. Under the baton of the "weakest" director of the first season, one of the better episodes was created and probably his best film. I especially like the unusual choice of the ending, because it is essentially happy ending, which is very unusual for this genre.8/10

The virgin teenager Tara (Lindsey Pulsipher) is outcast in school and neglected by her mother. While riding her bike back home from school, she is drugged, kidnapped and brought to an isolated mansion by the insane pianist Anton (William Samples). His cellist wife Judith (Lori Petty) lures Tara to obtain personal information, and then they lock her in the basement where she meets their son Johnny (Jesse Haddock) trying to commit suicide. Tara discovers that the creepy couple lost their son drowned in a lake twelve years ago, and have made a pact with a demon to bring him back to life. The price would be the sacrifice of twelve teenagers, and Tara is the last one."The Fair Haired Child" is another good episode of "Masters of Horror". The story is original, with a surprising twist in the end and very well acted and directed. Lori Petty is unrecognizable, with a creepy appearance of a deranged woman and the unknown and gorgeous Lindsey Pulsipher recalled me Emilie de Ravin, the Claire Littleton of "Lost". My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Pacto com o Demônio" ("Pact with the Demon")

C'mon people, i really don¡t understand why some of you says that this is a good movie. Trust me, i have seen a lot of horror movies, and this is one of the worst, not the WORST (beacause "The Brink" wons that tittle years ago) but this is on my top 10 of bad-bad horror movies of all the time. Bad Effects. Bad History. No blood. No gore. No Horror.and ... this is a horror movie right?So, please people. Don't See this movie. Its Crap, like a millions other. Just don't waste your time in this, save your money, or whatever.

Distraught father Anton and mother Judith (played by Lori Petty of Tank Girl fame) try to resurrect their dead son by sacrificing a young girl to a demon.The film opens with young Tara being teased in school, riding her bike home, then getting kidnapped by a man in a van. I could only imagine the fears this scene would conjure up in any parent. After Tara wakes up, she tries to call her mom for help explaining that she has been drugged, kidnapped, and hospitalized in another state to which her mom casually replies, "Can I call you back later?" Malone directs a surprisingly restrained tale of suffering considering his previous outings included FearDot.com, which was oddly gratuitous and devoid of meaning. Fair-Haired Child is a touching story of a mother so heartbroken she is pushed to desperate lengths, a rebellious teen that betrays the ones that love him, and a kidnapped girl that no one notices is missing. The story is a simple one with a nice twist ending and pleasantly reminded me of the old Twilight Zone series.The mood and atmosphere are great with many scenes set to classical music. There are black & white scenes that represent the dark doings of the parents and the little blonde girl looking up from the bloody bathtub through the hole in the basement looks like a lost Alice after falling through the rabbit hole.On a side note, I thought it a curious gesture to add Malone to the list of "Masters of Horror". He did a few low budget creature flicks, followed by the good House on Haunted Hill remake, which was followed by the very bad FearDot.com. I think this TV episode is one of the highlights of his resume now. Another interesting thing I noticed is that while many of the directors chose to push the limits in their episodes, this one seemed tame in comparison and yet was still quite good. Unfortunately, it did not get much attention, as it was not controversial like many of the others.The 55 minute TV show is presented with a 1.77:1 ratio aspect, Dolby Digital 5.1, and Surround Sound 2.0. The creature looked awesome with the stand out image being the aftermath of Tara after confronting the Fair-Haired Child.Favorite Quote: Anton, "Nietzsche said anything done out of love is beyond good and evil. We're not evil. I still love you Judith." DVD Extras: Interviews with Director & Cast, Commentary, Behind-the-Scenes, Trailers, Stills, Malone's Bio, and the Screenplay on DVD-ROM.Bottom Line: Good tale rooted in family values and the price of love. Minimal gore and scares, but well told and acted nonetheless.Rating: 7/10by Molly Celaschi www.HorrorYearbook.com
