Now that you’ve said that it kind of makes sense hat I felt like she looked familiar in some way. Maybe that’s what it was. Did not know that. :)

Jason, glad you found a way to watch it. Very cool.

Never saw it, but wasn't that a pilot for an attempted show?
According to IMDb, yes.

"This film was originally planned as a pilot (90 minutes long TV- movie) for a possible TV series, but due to low-ratings and lack of interest from an audience, producers shelved the idea."

Series probably would have been horrible, but the movie itself was oddly enjoyable and charming.

Crystal Force (1990) is such a dull movie, though occasionally enjoyable scenes break through.

Shame all these characters seem the same to me, though. :P

Damn. Girl in the Box was actually damn good. Almost rivals Burnt Offerings for favorite new watch. I bought it thinking it was gonna be some cheap, piece of crap, WalMart edition horror flick. Turned out to be a really pleasant new watch. Glad I picked it up. Would recommend.

Based on the true story of the girl that was kidnapped in the 70's and held as a slave for 7 years.

Saw nine movies today, mostly solid overall. I saw these:

Beyond the Gates (2016)
The Bisbee Cannibal Club (2002)
The Lights (2009)
Ravana's Game (2014)
Die Die Delta Pi (2013)
City in Panic (1986)
Crystal Force (1990)
Amsterdamned (1988)
Cruise Into Terror (1978)

Best among them was Amsterdamned, followed not too far behind by City in Panic (a lower-quality but enjoyable Canadian slasher).

Beyond the Gates was fun, and both The Lights and Ravana's Game (which I viewed via a screener I got some years back) had great elements throughout.

Die Die Delta Pi was somewhat enjoyable, but fell apart a bit toward the end. Cruise Into Terror was okay, if not a bit boring at points, being late 70's television horror.

Crystal Force was pretty forgettable overall, and The Bisbee Cannibal Club wasn't that enjoyable a story or film, truth be told.
