I saw a movie when I was little. A woman hits a little boy with her car. The little boy took her home. He then turned out to have his whole family under his control. His sister locked in her room with her mouth nailed shut. The family ate only junk food . Might be a tales from the crypt creep-show flick.

That is one of four stories in Twilight Zone: The Movie from 1983.

As IMDB plot summary describes: "a young woman on the road gives a ride to a mysterious 10-year-old boy to his house and ends up trapped with other people in an alternate reality created by the boy's imagination."

@SAFX yes, in color. Apparently there is an older black-and-white Twilight Zone episode on the same subject (see other answer). – Shane Finneran Dec 28 '12 at 16:24

Here's the original 1961 episode of Twilight Zone, also on IMDB.

I recall the actor who played the boy went on to star as Will Robinson in Lost In Space. IMDB confirms, actor Bill Mumy. I recall the boy had a line while foisting his evil on some helpless guy "You're a bad man! You're a very bad man!" as the guy dies a slow painful death or something.

I've seen versions of this story in multiple places, including a episode of Supernatural if I recall right.

Hi Troy, and welcome to movies.se! Answers to questions are preferred to have more than a one line answer. On identification questions the answers are usualy expected to be something like "I think it's <this>, here's why:". So, could you please add more information to your answer? – DForck42♦ Jul 20 '12 at 19:42

This is actually a very popular episode of the series. It is based on a short story of the same name by Jerome Bixby. The episode aired in 1961 ( entertainment.time.com/2009/10/02/top-10-twilight-zone-episodes/… ). The remake/homage in the TZ movie from 1983 actually has a happier ending than the TV version. And there is a sequel (to the TV episode), in the 2002 TZ series, "It's still a good life" (which is how I found out the segment in the movie was a remake). – Andres Caicedo Jul 20 '12 at 21:13

Wasn't the boy played by the actor who went on to star as Will Robinson in Lost In Space? I remember this line, as he is doing something evil to some guy "You're a bad man! You're a very bad man!" as the guy dies a slow painful death or something. Yup! IMDB confirms the coarse details, actor Bill Mumy. – BobStein-VisiBone Jul 20 '12 at 23:50
