The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane (1976)

Jodie Foster lives all alone in a house with the nosey village unaware that her father has died and she keeps the dead body of her mother in the cellar. She gets unwanted attention from local pervert Martin Sheen and has to resort to murder to try and keep her secret safe.
A rather bizarre and original story that's pretty hard to classify. Foster gives a great performance as the 13 year girl who lives all alone and Sheen is suitably creepy as her unwanted admirer. It seems to be more unsettling when reviewing it as opposed to when watching it.
