Is this the film where at the end. the woman runs outside and fall near the house. Then we see the small hands of the creatures pull the woman underneath the house? I recall this old film when i as eight years old.
shareGood question-
**SPOILER**
This may be the movie you're describing.
In Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark the small creatures drug Sally, bound her legs and drag her into a fireplace ash pit. I remember Sally's friend trying to get into the house and the creatures locked the doors. Her husband rushes home and breaks down a door to get in. By then it was too late. A very good movie. It scared the crap out of me when I saw the premiere on Movie of the Week on October 10th 1973. But the ending is very bleak.
It still stands as one of the most disturbing movies I ever saw. All of us kids of the era were traumatized for a long time afterward.

What was the greatest thing before sliced bread?
You are absolutely RIGHT! I only recently remembered this movie, and I haven't seen it since I was a kid, (I am 42 now). It was such a distant, unclear memory that I wasn't even sure if it was a real movie I actualy saw. I thought pieces deep in my memory, from the movie, were only in my imagination, and NOT something I saw. When I came across it in a thread here on IMDB, I looked it up and it jogged all my memory of how it terrified me and traumatized me to the degree that I worked very hard for years to block that terrible movie out of my head!!
Aparently it worked, because I can't remember....remembering the movie, or trying to talk myself into thinking about something else at bed time, or at night, or when I was alone, until I was out of high school.
I would have to say, remembering now, (even though I have not rewatched it yet), it has to have been THE MOST scary movie, I ever saw, and the entire concept of the story has to still be the scariest concept of any movie ever, for me. Thinking about it makes me say out loud, "Thank God, it's just a made for television movie from the 70's" :D.
I think this is the way it goes...
She is sedated for her hysteria and while helpless the creatures bound her legs and dragged her - at one point, since they can't tolerate light, she manages to grab a camera and tried to scare them away with the flash - down into the ashpit and her spirit becomes trapped and we hear her voice whispering with them.
Does this sound like the movie you watched?
That ending always freaked me out. I was so young when I last saw this film, can anyone tell me what was she whispering to the little creatures? This film always stuck in my mind and I always told my friends that this was one of the scariest movies I ever saw. Maybe it was because I was a kid when I saw it but I bet you if I were to see that movie today I would still love it.
