The Night Child

“Keep telling yourself: "She's not just a child"...”

The film opens in 1975, in a household where a television producer, Michael Williams (Richard Johnson), is researching a documentary and his young daughter Emily (Nicoletta Elmi) is given a medallion as a gift. Once she puts it around her neck, she is possessed by the spirit of a dead child who was a murderess. Massimo Dallamano keeps the focus on Michael and Emily, a father who cannot yet see what is wrong with his daughter.
