This was a scary movie. Innocent children who become not so innocent children. Probably caused by a virus, in the movie you hear a part of a news bulletin where they mention it and the fact that children are more susceptible to infections.
The tension during the movie is high. Only some grown ups scream (out of fear) a little too much to my liking, but hey, what would I do if my (hypothetical) kids would start acting so violent. The gore was nice.

description: Adorable children, family, woods, small children, one large child, possessed?
(Geoffrey): (rating 7)
I Love children, they can be so much fun, those little terrors. Here's a movie where they weren't much fun. It al started out when a family goes to another family somewhere in the woods in the winter. At first they start playing nice and well, but there is some evil in the woods, which affects the heads of those adorable little crittens. At least that is what I think. It is not explained how they become little monsters sort of say. They become killers and get killed.
That's what I like about horror nowadays, children play a more active role. Nowadays children are not always innocent, but they are also not save from harm. The question is how do you prepare young actors to play in a horror movie?
The story might not be briljant, but overal it was quite enjoyable, specially with The Children. I can only imagine Jason & Mikel starting butchering at an age of 6.

A genre-film, yes, but you don't get too often to see how parents floor the pedal to crush their own kids in self-defense, do you?
No particular points of interest, but fun. The amount of Asian SILDGWLBHWSRRW (scary-immobile-little-dead-girls-with-long-black-hair-who-stare-really-really-well) is low this year, but luckily for us there were some European ones. British even (of course). With short hair.
Oh wait, I forgot the tattoo of a baby with umbilical cord...

Steady fixture for so many films including this one: creepy (mute) children, causing mayhem in a forest and in a house. Though a cliché, this film didn't bore me because it had some genuine scary moments and was quite gory as well. What also worked in its advantage: the makers did not try to explain why or how the children get to be possessed, they just ARE possessed, and that is enough to freak anyone above six years old out.
