Original
air date: January 6, 2006 Directed by: William Malone Written by: Matt Greenburg
Starring:
Lori Petty as Judith William Samples as Anton Lindsay Pulsipher as Tara Jesse Haddock as Johnny
Synopsis: Tara (Jesse Haddock) is a
teenager that seems to be wanted by no one. A loner, Tara becomes the
perfect target for a creepy guy to stalk and kidnap in Fair-Haired
Child. Come to find out, there is a couple behind her
kidnapping - a couple who intends to use her as a sacrifice to an evil
entity in exchange for bringing there dead son back to life. I just
hate it when that happens. Well Tara has different plans and just might
turn the tables.
Thoughts: William Malone (House on
Haunted Hill, Fear Dot Com) does not
immediately come to mind when you think of a “Master of
Horror”. As a matter of fact, his additions to the horror
genre can be labeled as mediocre at best. That being said, Fair-Haired
Child is the best work that Malone has done. He has taken a
good story and a great ensemble of actors and created an hour of real
entertainment in Fair-haired Child. I
don’t want to jinx him, but if Fair-Haired Child
is any indication it looks like Malone may be figuring it out.
