About a ten-year-old girl and her six-year-old sister. Their mother is schizophrenic and the older girl is beginning to show signs of it. She keeps seeing Satan in her room, a guy who's all white with huge wings and cloven hooves.
You know that B-movie technique they used to do? They would have two actors, one in the foreground, one in the background, and they were both facing the camera. They would carry on a conversation without looking at each other.
They did that in this movie, except the girl was talking to the devil. Which didn't make sense. He WAS a figment of her imagination, wasn't he? Why could we see him when she wasn't looking at him?
Directed by Rebecca Miller. Available on the Criterion Channel.
