Maybe 4 years old, he screamed in terror when the alien burst out of John Hurt's chest. He kept crying "Mommy I wanna go home, Mommy I wanna go home," but she kept him there and he eventually whimpered into silence.

I often wondered if that poor little boy suffered lasting trauma.

As I recall, this movie cam out not long after E.T. and some people didn't realize it was a horror movie.
