how about this one;
i can barely remember this, but i think this movie was made in the 70s. the only part i can remember is there is a woman in bed, maybe shes sick or handicapped, i dont think she can walk. at one point this group of troll/gremlin thingys are watching her from a book shelf, i remember them hiding behind a book by sliding it over. at one point theyre dragging her somewhere as she struggles, she ends up grabbing a camera and snaps some pictures, every time the camera flashes they stop and cover there eyes, i remember them making this ooooooh sound every time she flashed. im pretty sure it was in color and the troll thingys were people in costume, the looked like the were a little bigger than GI JOES. this is one of my earliest movie memories. i was probably 5 years old when i saw it. any ideas?
This sounds like "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" (1973).
I concur with Andrew. The part where she uses the flash from a camera to momentarily stun them is what cements it.
yes! thank you, your knowledge of movies is appreciated. i went ahead and looked around on ebay for a copy of this movie, its been out of print for awhile. i saw a vhs copy going for $50. thats crazy, but i found a dvd bootleg for about $3. thanks again.
