Not your typical TV movie
|
I first caught this movie when it was rerun back in 94...though I missed the first half (and it took me another 6 mos or so before I got to see the movie in its entirety, LOL), what I saw had a powerful impact, to say nothing of the fine acting jobs by Dana Hill as Jennifer, the confused pre-teen looking for an adult she can trust during the difficult times she's going through, and Richard Masur as Howard, the softball coach/pedophile who slowly lures Jennifer into his child pornography ring with the kindness and understanding she needs (he dubs her "Angel", the same pet name he gave his last victim, hence the film's title), then gradually turning to manipulation and further alienation of Jennifer from her mother (Melinda Dillon) and soon-to-be stepfather (Ronny Cox).
Why hasn't this film been rerun on cable (to the best of my knowledge) during the past 10 years? Although somewhat dated by today's standards, time has not silenced its powerful message, and it does a fine job of showing how the Jennifers of the world are most vulnerable to this kind of sick exploitation and abuse...indeed, VHS copies are equally hard to come by, but worth the often high prices they command just to see a TV movie that doesn't fall into the usual "cookie-cutter" subject formula and addresses such a controversial topic in a manner that really gets its point across. Def worth viewing, if you can find it! |
