This episode is carried by Lori Petty (Judith). Her skinny body and her performance gave her indeed the scary and strange looking mother. And The Fair Haired Child even had a great start with the abducting of Tara (Lindsay Pulsipher). That part really looked creepy and the van hitting her bicycle was really well done. Once Tara is being locked up in the cellar we do have some creeping moments with the creature walking around but the end of this episode was so predictable and laughable that my vote went downhill.
Tara being an outcast virgin at school and having no friends is the ideal person to disappear. Once kidnapped Tara is questioned by Judith to be sure she's a virgin. That part is creepy only by the characterisation done by Lori. Once locked in the basement she comes across Johnny (Jesse Haddock) who has a dark secret but also tells Tara that the son of the couple abducting her lost their son in a lake drowning but the made a pact with the devil to arise him by sacrificing 12 youngsters.
Tara being the last one I thought that I knew where this was going and I was correct. The last 5 minutes I just couldn't believe they wrote it that way and was a let down for me. The Fair Haired Child surely had potential but failed somehow towards the end.
