Warning: Spoilers
The virgin teenager Tara (Lindsey Pulsipher) is outcast in school and neglected by her mother. While riding her bike back home from school, she is drugged, kidnapped and brought to an isolated mansion by the insane pianist Anton (William Samples). His cellist wife Judith (Lori Petty) lures Tara to obtain personal information, and then they lock her in the basement where she meets their son Johnny (Jesse Haddock) trying to commit suicide. Tara discovers that the creepy couple lost their son drowned in a lake twelve years ago, and have made a pact with a demon to bring him back to life. The price would be the sacrifice of twelve teenagers, and Tara is the last one.

"The Fair Haired Child" is another good episode of "Masters of Horror". The story is original, with a surprising twist in the end and very well acted and directed. Lori Petty is unrecognizable, with a creepy appearance of a deranged woman and the unknown and gorgeous Lindsey Pulsipher recalled me Emilie de Ravin, the Claire Littleton of "Lost". My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Pacto com o Demônio" ("Pact with the Demon")
