The Child
Directed by Robert Voskanian
Young Alicianne arrives at an isolated old farmhouse to look after her new charge, Rosalie - a curious little girl who lives with her equally disturbed (and disturbing) father and surprisingly normal brother. But it soon becomes clear that Alicianne is going to be the one in need of assistance, as it transpires that little Rosalie wields the uncanny power to raise the decrepit residents of the local graveyard to conduct her wicked bidding... An ethereal nightmare cut from the same cloth as the likes of Messiah of Evil or Let's Scare Jessica to Death, The Child - from director Robert Voskanian and producer Robert Dadashian - is a superlative example of dream-logic terror and an essential entry in the cannon of 70s American horror.

Tries for atmosphere, / but a listlessness impedes / zombie escape plans.
overall well done and very creepy. just remember what year it came out if you feel it's cheesy or cheaply made.
Good old fashioned creepy horror flick a little cheesy but I enjoyed it.
Music is so annoying and bad acting
Fantastic creeper with some surprising gore. Perfect nightmare fuel!
