Grows with repeated viewings and commentary quite interesting.
Kubrick was undeniably talented, but comes off as extremely anal and exasperating to work with. Still enjoy many of his films-EYES WIDE SHUT notwithstanding.
If You get a chance, two of his early works THE KILLING (1956-Tarantino used much of this for RESERVOIR DOGS) and PATHS OF GLORY (1957-one of the best War films ever made) are well worth seeing. ****

This little gem offers up some disturbing entertainment about a young girl placed in a youth home after her mother and her mother's lover are bludgeoned to death. The woman who runs the home has some truly chilling methods of keeping the head count up for financial reasons. Keep an eye out for a Freddy Krueger look-alike even though this movie was made much earlier.

I was thinking of watching this in a couple of days! Pretty sleazy for sure, but not bad at all and never really noticed the FK reference, but now see what You mean!
