i loved that movie, but, adelina, why did you have to do that to me?
i like the way you think...

I was watching Bravo's 100 most scary moments (I think that's what it was called). Anyway, "Don't look now!" came on and the little dwarf lady scared the crap out of me. That was Friday night and I still can't sleep.

Well, young lady, taking the name of Lucy Gray from Wordsworth's poem of the same name isn't a step in the right direction. That poem is kind of creepy, especilly if you picture Lucy Gray looking like Adelina...

Yet some maintain that to this day
She is a living child;
That you may see sweet Lucy Gray
Upon the lonesome wild.

O'er rough and smooth she trips along,
And never looks behind;
And sings a solitary song
That whistles in the wind.

Adelina Poerio is the scariest thing ever! I dont like being left hime alone in case she comes for me in the night and tries to eat me or kill me with that knife! I watched the film a week ago, and im still getting nightmares about a dwarf in a little red raincoat =S

I swear that chris person makes me laugh so much. Good on ya mate.

I agree. I was terrified when I saw that damned dwarf on the Bravos scariest movie moments countdown. My husband had to escort me around the house I was so scared. I still am, and expect to be for LIFE.

Aaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

holy shit i seen that movie 4 years ago and i still hate the colour red and i scream when i see people with red raincoats! =/

I saw the movie Don't Look Now and I couldn't sleep for nights. That dwarf seriously scared me more than anything I can remember. I was also terrified of the blind lady, with those milky eyes and that creepy smile, even if she was a "good guy."

hmmm, i don't know what everyone is scared of, personally i laughed when she came on screen, but maybe its just me lol...

If you love Adelina you must watch the the movie Unconditional Love with Kathy Bates and Rupert Everett which pays homage to Don't Look Now at the end of the movie. I never even heard of the dwarf in the red raincoat until watching Unconditional Love but was so intrigued by the dwarf in the red raincoat that I felt compelled to look up the original!

"Adelina Poerio! if youre in here, get out!"
i often find myself shouting this into rooms before entering them.

I just watched the film and see what you mean, that face is enough to keep anyone up at night...and not in a good way... xXx

She kind of turns me on;-)

i've seen some pretty bad movies, but adelina poeria makes this one by far the scariest thing i have ever seen. i watched it yesterday and had to sleep with the computer, the lights, and the tv on with blankets shoved under the bed.

I remember watching tha when I was younger. OH MY GOD!!!! It mentally scarred me. I finally drifted off to sleep after about 3 hrs of going to bed. All I cold think of was that red coat and face. Scary stuff!

wen the dwarf thing came on i actuly craped my self .

I was just having lunch with an associate, and he happened to mention that his wife's maiden name was Poerio. My mind went into this instant funk and as my eyes glazed over I think I heard him say that she was from Campo Basso. Flashback 1974 - the Imperial Cinema and a shaken, terrified yound child stumbling out of the premiere of don't Look Now and imagining Adelina in every corner, in every alley, hiding and waiting in the streets of Montreal, waiting to strike me whne least expected. The murderous dwarf in the film was not as I had imagined it in the Du Maurier short story, no it was far worse. Adelina became the password for every grotequerie imaginable. She haunted me for years and years, and then slowly faded from memory. Until this lunch - until I came back to my office and googled Adelina Poerio. Some things become clear over a lifetime and some things become clear after a lunch. What is clear now is that I will never go to Campo Basso.

I ve seen this film lot of years ago when i was 8 or 9 years old. i'm still frightened because of red raincoats. every time when i see some childs with a red raincoat i remember the last scene when the red raincoat wearing dwarf seems to cry and then is killing mr baxter. and also my younger sister and brother were looking that film the same time as me and we were playing outside and wanted to scare someone of ourselves we always said "there is the red dwarf!" it is a really scary reminder.... i tell you

I'm going to be Adelina for Halloween. I have a little red raincoat. And I'm only 4'11. Zing!

ive been searching everywhere for this movie or at least a pic of this dwarf.however here she looks like a swet old ;lady is it just the pic

I just watched that movie again last night... for the first time in many years... she was even scarier than I remembered!

I was dragged to this movie when I was about 7 because my parents were too cheap to get a babysitter. For decades I never remembered the name of the movie but I was haunted by the memories of that chicken shit little dwarf in the red raincoat. I was so elated that the dude found his little girl. And then FUCK! Chrs G. I feel your pain!

Adelina Poerio is nothing compared to the homeless guy from David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. Watch it - you'll agree it's the scariest moment and face you've ever seen in your life.
