Review of Something Evil (1972) by Michael H — 01 Nov 2012
A pretty darned creepy made for TV movie directed by Stephen Spielberg in 1971. Darren McGavin is a solid presence and the head of the family who gives in to young wife Sandy Dennis' desire to buy a country home. This places him at a considerable distance during the work day and leaves her and their son, Johnny Whitaker (Jody from Family Affair), at the mercy of ... the neighbors? ... their imaginations? ... something else?
Spielberg at this point is already a master of suspense and audience manipulation.
