One of the most cherished "Movie of the Week" entries, "Bad Ronald" holds up well nearly thirty years later...but an ambitious remake is definitely something for Hollywood's moviemen to give thought to.
The premise of a psychotic nerd holed up in your very own home has to be one of the creepiest ever thought up...and this one surely had impressionable kids searching the house for peepholes in the walls. I miss these 70s made-for-TV films, many of them are entirely unavailable today...and an eager audience is dying for the nostalgia! Bring 'em on back!
6/10
