Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Blistering performances.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This 1985 fantasy film stars Mathew Mackay, Sliuk Saysanasy, Allison Darcy, Michael Hogan and Michel Maillot. Mackay plays young boy, Michael who lives with his sister, Suzie (Darcy) and father, Bill (Hogan) who is an artist. Soon, Michael and his best friend, Conrad (Saysanasy) go to a house that was burned down where a homeless couple died. Michael sneaks in while Conrad tries talking him out of it and Michael is frightened which causes him to lose his hair. Soon, Michael is visited by the ghosts of the homeless couple and they give him a recipe to regain hair. He tries it and his hair grows rapidly long. Maillot plays crooked, art teacher, Sergio aka The Signor who tries stealing Michael's hair to make paint brushes. This is a bizarre film that has stuck with me since childhood. I finally revisited it again and it's not as creepy as I remembered. It does have a bit of an eerie quality, but it's mostly silly and I still recommend it.

I cannot remember a movie that had a bigger impact on me as this did. I have very faint memories of this movie.... but every memory was a dark one. I remember being very frightened of this movie, but also fascinated at the same time. I saw it very young, and i remember it being the result of most of my childhood nightmares. I feel there is something much larger involved with this movie. Perhaps mind control? Producing fears in young children. It blows me away that this movie is labeled a comedy. This was also a Canadian film, which got away with more that the U.S. could with its PG rating. It has everything from ghosts, child kidnapping, nightmares, hair falling out, dark images and references........ gives me the chills just thinking about it. I saw it recently and realized how much of an impact it could have on a undeveloped mind. Psycologicly i feel as though this movie was responsible for a lot of the fears i had growing up as a kid. Being an adult now, i decided to watch it. I remember it being a lot darker... obviously a child seeing this interprets it as much more than a family comedy because it is nothing like that to say the least. I feel as though a investigation into this movie should be made.IF YOU WANT TO WATCH IT TO REMEMBER THESE HORRIBLE MEMORIES OF YOUR CHILDHOOD YOU CAN SEE IT ON GOOGLE VIDEO.. SOMEONE PUT UP THE WHOLE ENTIRE MOVIE

OMG!!!! Everyone thought i was crazy when i talked about this movie..good to know it really exists!!! I do have another movie no one seems to remember. IDK the title but i know it involved two kids (brother and sister) who were free falling and trapped in bubbles for such a long time that they end up just sitting there looking bored, waiting to hit the ground. This goes on until some scientist turns off the bubble machine and they realize they were only 3 feet off the ground. It's been a while since i've seen it so the details are sketchy but thats all i remember. It scared the crap out of me b/c my overly analytical child brain figured they would have suffocated after being in the bubble so long. if anyone knows the title please let me know.

Whenever I reminisce about old 80s movies, this one always comes to mind, yet NO ONE else has ever seen it or remembers it. I LOVED this movie. It was a little creepy, but funny too. My favorite part is when that one kid puts the peanut butter solution on his crotch and the hair grows out his pants. In retrospect I don't know why they would show that to young kids, but that is definitely the funniest part. Anyway, I have been searching for this movie forever and have yet to find it. If you have any ideas, let me know. I've tried www.amazon.com and looked online, but I have had no such luck. I'd really like to see this movie again now that I am older.
