Like the unforgettable horor films of the past, THAT LITTLE MONSTER draws you into its world from frame one.  In a dead-on recreation of Edward Van Sloan's prologue to the 1931 FRANKENSTEIN, sci-fi professor emeritus Forest J. Ackerman steps before a curtain to forewarn us that the movie is not for the faint of heart.  The screen blazes white and slowly refigures into two feminine hands in tight close-up which pull away to reveal the face of a quite pretty young girl.  Her name is Jamie.  She's a foreign student, awaiting an interview with the parents of an infant boy she hopes to baby-sit.  Everyday situation, to be sure.  Ah, but nothing is ordinary here!  At once, the house and its bizarre appointments begin to close in on Jamie, unsettling her and creepily unnerving us.  The photography pays homage to the great horror films of the 1930's.  A devilish, strange, disquieting little chiller that will cap your evening with some most delicious shudders.  Some of its images may stay on in your mind to become part of your film vocabulary.
