Radio talk show therapist, Sonny Blake, moves back to her childhood home after her alcoholic father dies. Upon her return to the old neighborhood, Sonny discovers her neighbors are terrified of the local paperboy. She thinks this is ridiculous, until she encounters the boy herself, and learns the hard way that he is a cunning and dangerous sociopath. One who may have killed her father, and several others. When the boy starts to call Sonny’s radio show, reciting eerie nursery rhymes, an unnerving game of cat-and-mouse begins, which makes Sonny doubt her own sanity. As the game escalates, she suddenly finds herself in a terrifying, all-out war that forces her to redefine her ideas of good and evil, and has her fighting to stay alive.

Rosewood Lane is a watchable, undemanding horror snack and this time that was enough for me. I wasn’t expecting much from Victor Salva and all I knew about the film beforehand is that it was in the works. The premise is exhausted (a fragile girl terrorised by a dangerous stalker – that’s something I can be interested in only if it was directed by Balaguero or someone of a similar calibre), but in this case, it actually does help the film, because they managed to build a pretty unsettling and supernatural aura around that insane paperboy. It’s a bit like waiting for Jeepers Creepers to spread its wings. For me, a satisfied three.
