Movie description:
After the death of his mother, Johnny looks for a substitute fammily. By killing an old lady with plastic film he contrives to make a lady and her daughter return to be his neighbours. A girl upsets him, so he engineers a serious accident for her ensuring that she would spend the rest of her life as a paraplegic, he then attempts to incinerate the lady’s boyfriend to eliminate competition. Because the movie does not dwell on bloody scenes the way so many do now, is is very watchable and quite scary in a subtle way. Full marks to Marc for his portrayal of an obssessed boy.
