Title: Child Stabbed With Spear/Harpoon Post by: rianmiller on May 21, 2014, 12:17:58 AM I'm trying to help a friend identify a movie that he hasn't seen since the late 80's. Any help would be appreciated. I know it's not much, but here's all we know:
- A child is sitting on a grate or vent of some kind and is stabbed from below by a harpoon or spear of some sort. - The child may or may not be wearing a bumblebee costume. - The film may also involve a house, the inside of which resembles or has turned into a forest. I know this is a long shot, but we've been searching for this movie for a long time and have come up empty handed. Thanks for giving this a look. - R.

Characters get 'stabbed'' with a ring, rather than a harpoon/spear.

Here's why it might fit (SPOILERS follow for those who've never seen it): one of the film's "killers" is revealed to be a boy with severe facial birth defects. He attacks the heroine with a harpoon/boat hook. Maybe your friend conflated it all together with various other things. Happens a lot. |
