Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

jbl211 For the time in which it was written, it was a decent fantasy storyline by Ray Bradbury. Most called him a science fiction writer but he described himself, and rightly so, as more a fantasy writer than science fiction writer. Science fiction has stories that often hold possible future realities, fantasy story lines are supposed to be great imaginative admittedly unrealistic or impossible stories we can escape into.The movie was decent as well for 1982. I remember it mostly for the great song the grandmother sang to the kids in the movie. At the time my kids were 1 & 3 yrs old. I'm a male in my 50's & confess without shame that I stole that great song from this flick. It's one of the best lullaby tunes I've ever heard. I always sang it to my kids when I put them to sleep at night using their names and changing the word "grandmothers" to either "fathers" or daddies" in the one line when I sang it to them. It's short & it's memorable and there really aren't too many lullabies around to choose from. It served its purpose perfectly for me & my kids and for that I will always remember The Electric Grandmother movie fondly. If I am ever lucky enough to, I will surely sing it to my grandkids as well. If nothing else, the song left an impact and the nightly memories of bedtime with my kids. It has had a more lifelong real personal family effect for me than any other movie I've ever seen. A very strange thing to say about such a flick I know, but true.

RavenDevine When I was in Preschool my caretakers had us all sit down and watch this movie. I remember it was on 8mm and it was very scary, I shall never for get it. I'm glad I grew up in a generation where the schools still had 8 mm and really bizarre movies. This movie is amazing and creepy never show it to a child under 6, they will never be the same.. Tim Burton and I are similar because of this movie. If you ever have seen the movie about the donut shop and a woman losing her wedding ring, please email me at RavenDevine@aol.com...put Engagement Ring in the subject..or I will delete you on accident..<3

tricam I remember viewing this movie in school (High School). I thought it was a really neat movie. The concept was innovative at the time, and I thought it was neat. I would highly recommend watching it. I thought the characters presented some real people. Of course the children were brats, but what kids aren't? I thought it helped to see the side of our families when we have lost a member. It's funny, I hadn't thought about this movie until I heard that Maureen Stapleton had passed away. In fact it was her picture on the news that reminded me of her portrayal. I don't recall the other members of the cast, but the acting was reasonably fair and certainly good enough to not make me dislike the film.

OmegaWolf747 I remember seeing this movie back in the 80s when they showed it to us in grade school. I remember it being rather creepy, like when the grandmother plugged herself into the wall and rocked back and forth. It made this loud noise that bugged the hell out of me.However with the passing of time and me being an adult now, I'd like to give this movie a second look and see how I'd like it now. I hated some movies as a little kid that I think I might like now and loved some as a kid that I don't like anymore. Strange how time does that. I'm pretty sure I'd like this movie a lot now because I dig sci-fi. The movie did have some very touching moments in it.
