The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
Movie • 1977 • Mystery
ReportQuiet, withdrawn 13-year-old Rynn Jacobs lives peacefully in her home in a New England beach town. Whenever the prying landlady inquires after Rynn's father, she politely claims that he's in the city on business. But when the landlady's creepy and increasingly persistent son, Frank, won't leave Rynn alone, she teams up with kindly neighbor boy Mario to maintain the dark family secret that she's been keeping to herself.

The hamster used in the torture scene was already dead. The actual hamster used in early scenes was unharmed and given to a production worker as a pet when filming wrapped.

At 45 minutes. When you hear him call Gordon, skip to 46:30. From what I can tell, they used a real hamster in the first bit, which is why the cigarette being put out the first time is not shown (because it does not happen). The second time the cigarette is put out is shown, and it is a real hamster (I think?) but not a real cigarette. Whatever it is, the combination is definitely not real hamster with real cigarette. What he throws into the fire looks like a fake wool hamster and not a particularly good one.
