THERE'S NO ONE ALIVE WHO'LL PLAY WITH THE GIRL NEXT DOOR! 

Fresh from creating an all-time horror icon when he introduced the world to Freddy Kruger, director Wes Craven once again returned to the world of sinister suburban secrets with Deadly Friend, a tragic tale of teen love and technological terror. Nightmares don’t just happen on Elm Street! Paul Conway is new in town. A teenage computer genius who built his own robot helper, BB, he lives alone with his mother, but is soon settling in, making new friends and falling in love with the girl next door, Samantha. But Samantha’s father is an abusive alcoholic who one night loses control, leaving his daughter in a coma. Unable to accept the loss, Paul turns his genius toward bringing her back, with deadly results. With a screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin, who would later write Jacob’s Ladder and Ghost, Deadly Friend stars Kristy Swanson (the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as the titular deadly friend and Matthew Laborteaux as the twisted teenage Frankenstein who cannot let her go.
