Plot:
When ten-year-old Karen (Brooke Shields) is killed in church on the occasion of her first communion, her seemingly innocent older sister Alice (Paula Sheppard) becomes the prime suspect. Matters become complicated as more of Alice's family members are attacked, along with residents of her apartment building. Can a twelve-year-old girl be capable of such mayhem, or is someone else with a vicious plan destroying her family?

This film is the nearest that an american movie can be to an italian giallo. It had all the characteristics : a completicated story, weird characters, good effects and an artistic feeling. So you can easilly guess that it's a movie that I like. The story is really good, it looks evident at first glance but you get a couple of surprise turn. The murders without being too gory are really effective and look real (prepare yourself you will shivering). The acting is particullary good for this genre of film : Paula Sheppard is particullary great (after I've listen the commentary I was shocked, she was 19 years old and she looks so young).

This is really an horror film that deserves to be discover... Pete or any horror fans this is really one movie for you.

I think it's a great series. When I saw the pilot when it first appeared on the internet, I really liked it. I was hoping that the rest of the series holds up. And I think it did. Cannot wait for season 2!

Major plot hole in the pilot though:
How did the Cromartie terminator travel to the future when it was already blown to pieces and thus not covered by "living tissues" anymore?

Now I am hoping that Arnie will turn up in a cameo. I imagine a scene set in the future where we see how John sends the re-programmed Arnie back in time for Termintor 2.

This series put me in the mood to watch T1 and T2 again. Maybe I will do it soon.
