Playmates — Andrew Neiderman

A woman driving upstate with her five-year-old daughter takes a shortcut that leads to disaster when her car breaks down in a rainstorm. When they seek refuge in a nearby farmhouse, she and her daughter become "playmates" in a violent whirlpool of unrelenting terror. Now a major motion picture, starring Burt Reynolds, Angie Dickinson, and Mia Sara.
