Imagine a B-grade X-files episode, but really bad

At the behest of the police, child shrink Dr. Jon Holland (Timothy Busfield from "Studio B on the Sunset Strip") starts to help a little girl who witness her brother get pulled under the bed by someone or something. First suspecting the absentee father and treating it as a kidnapping case, when that doesn't pan out. They try hypnosis with consequences that Jon isn't ready for. He must re-examine his past to solve this mystery. The chemistry of the believing in the strange Dr. Jon and the highly skeptical female college along with the subject matter, it suddenly hit me that I felt like I was watching a B-grade copy of an X-files episode rather than a true Outer Limits episode. And not a very good one at that. Definitely not one of the better shows of the series (or even just the first season)

My Grade: D+
