The Children


THE CHILDREN deftly combines the unsettling realism of low-budget 1970's British horror, with the visceral savagery and shocks of the glossy updated genre. Working with the tried and tested theme of 'mummy's darling turned evil hellspawn' that made VILLIAGE OF THE DAMED and THE OMEN such chilling classics, writer/director Tom Shankland's film exploits the modern SUPERNANNY generation, indulgently obsessed with child behaviour. The story takes place at Christmas time, with two middle-class families gathered together to share in the festivities. But the peace doesn't last, as slowly their children succumb to a strange illness and start to bring death and destruction to the people who gave them life.

THIS IS A FAR BETTER FILM THAN SOME PEOPLE GIVE IT CREDIT FOR. I WASN'T EXPECTING MUCH MORE THAN A WATCHABLE FILM WITH CREEPY KIDS,BUT IT'S REALLY VERY GOOD. WHAT STARTS AS 2 FAMILIES HAVING CHRISTMAS TOGETHER,ENJOYING THE SNOW AND EACH OTHER'S COMPANY,SOON BECOMES SOMETHING QUITE EERIE. YOU JUST KNOW SOMETHING IN THE KIDS IS ABOUT TO SHOW IT'S UGLY FACE,IT BUILDS TENSION LIKE A TICKING TIMEBOMB,YOU KNOW IT'S ABOUT TO BLOW AND WHEN IT BLOWS,OH BOY,DOES IT BLOW!
THE KIDS ARE PLAYED VERY WELL BY THE YOUNG ACTORS,BEHAVING VERY DISTURBINGLY. THE DEATHS ARE CERTAINLY WELL DONE AND HAD ME WINCING,SOME OF THE SCENES I WOULD SAY ARE VERY BRAVE,THE RETALIATION AGAINST THE KIDS WHO HAVE TURNED INTO VICIOUS LITTLE SODS THANKS TO A VIRUS OF SORTS IS,IN MY VIEW QUITE SHOCKING.
CERTAINLY IT IS NOT THE BEST HORROR FILM I'VE SEEN,BUT I'M VERY GLAD I BOUGHT IT AND PLAN ON WATCHING IT AGAIN VERY SOON.
SERIOUSLY,DON'T BE PUT OFF BY NAGATIVE REVIEWS,AS LONG AS YOU DON'T EXPECT AMAZING,I THINK YOU'LL BE SURPRISED HOW GOOD IT IS.
THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE CREEPIEST CHILDREN GONE BAD FILMS I'VE EVER SEEN.

If you see the children Will put you off kids for life ,little monsters, A rather unsettling horror , The children goes where no other film goes - having to kill your own children. i think this is what makes it interesting as no one in there right mind would want to do that. The parents never belive there is anything wrong with their kids which leads to some grisly deaths! the setting is really good - isolated in the country with nowhere to get way from them and they make good use of the surroundings.




ถ้าคุณได้ดูเรื่องนี้จะผวาเด็กไปเลย เด็กไรไม่รู้ฆ่าได้กระทั่งพ่อแม่ตัวเอง แถมโหดด้วย เด็กผี
