SFFCH 196 Cloak And Dagger

Cloak and Dagger [1984]

We think we've done it! We think we've found the most screwed-up kids film from the 80s including: murder, gun violence, espionage, amputated villains, mental illness and bombs concealed in little girls toys. And it's also a big old advert for Atari. Cloak and Dagger is a kind of prototype Home Alone without the consistent family tone, just ripe for the picking here at Spoiler Filled.
