Fuzzy memory

'lo Everyone,

For years I've been wondering about the title of a horror film that I saw as young child (too young really, I couldn't sleep alone for days after watching it). The only things I remember clearly are:

1. There were two very small, kind of furry, old looking, prunie faced creatures that were living in a house occupied by regular people.

2. They were very sensitive to light, and tried to avoid it at all costs.

3. They was a young woman living in the house who I think was somehow related by blood to the creatures (not 100% sure about that part).

4. The woman tries to save herself by constantly click a camera flash at them, but they eventually drag her way into the bowels of the house.

I've seen this film exactly once my entire life. Anytime I've thought to ask someone about it, all I get are blank stares. I did not imagine this movie!

Any help guys?

I thought it was gremlins, but never mind...


Is this the only reason you joined the forums?

is it Dont be Afraid of the Dark ?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069992/


if so - there have been almost as many people asking about this one - as The Gate

It never occurred to me that my description could be mistaken for "Gremlins". This is actually useful to know. There are no words for the degree to which this surprises me, considering the source.

Anyway, no, it's not Gremlins. This movie is definitely from the late 60's to 70's

As for the rest:

Posted by Posher778 in the Indie section: I am not going to reply to your posts here anymore. If you so insist on talking about this, you can pm me.

Please cowboy up and do your best to be a man of your word. I'll understand if this isn't possible, but there's reward to be had in the effort. If somehow, you're actually able to do this, I promise to forget that you ever existed.

urgeok: No pics on imdb, but it sounds promising. I'm off to google images to see if it's a match.

Just for my information: People ask about this film a lot? If so, that's pretty funny, because anyone I've ever talked to about it just had absolutely no clue.

urgeok, you are officially the hero of the day!

Thank you so much!;)

Why would you think that? I like horror films as much as anyone else.

Also, from what I can tell, the people who are really inclined to share information are very helpful and generous with their knowledge. For instance, in less than a few hours, I've gotten an answer to a question that's bugged me on and off for years.

Why wouldn't try to benefit from that?

No hard feelings. It's just that we usually get about 10 new members a month who join, ask a question, get it answered and leave forever.

It's kind of like we get raped.

Thanks for not raping us.

I'm the one who should apologies. I just joined the list yesterday, and was immediately put on the defensive for showing my ignorance by daring to ask the same question in two separate forums.

I'll never do that again, ensuring once more that America is safe for democracy!:)

Bottom line, you'll seem me around.

Peace
