[DVD Review] The Children

18 October 2009 8:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

I wanted to hate this movie, I really did; in fact, the first thing I did before I even watched the thing was brainstorm some high-larious jokes regarding the hokey tag line, which solemnly reads, "You brought them into this world...they'll take you out." How pleased I was with myself, chuckling quietly as I armed myself with a veritable battalion of besmirching, scathingly funny material. What a fool I was. All of that haughty posturing quickly slipped away after I got about half an hour into the film and was promptly Drop-kicked In The Face With Nausea-inducing Terror.

We're all familiar with the concept of creepy killer kids. It's done entirely too often (Joshua, The Good Son, Orphan, Children of the Corn, Village of the Damned) and only rarely is it done well (The Bad Seed, The Omen, Pet Sematary). Luckily, The Children manages to hold up amongst the best, »

The Children - DVD Review

13 October 2009 8:15 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

A small corner of the horror genre is dedicated to the killer child. It.s not exactly fun to think of your pintsized progeny taking up weapons and killing you. However, a virus (H1N1?) causes them to do just that in jolly old England. Don.t worry it.s just a movie. or is it? [Insert scary music here] Elaine (Eva Birthistle) and Jonah (Steven Campbell) are joining Elaine.s sister Chloe (Rachel Shelley) and her husband Robbie (Jeremy Sheffield) at their English country home for a Christmas reunion. It.s also a reunion of all the kids, Leah (Raffiella Brooks), Nicky (Jake Hathaway), Paulie (William Howes), Miranda (Eva Sayer), and cynical teenager Casey (Hannah Tointon), and Christmas looks to be a fun »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Ghost House Underground Four Film Collection’ Offers Few Chills

12 October 2009 8:07 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – It’s always nice to see world-famous filmmakers raising awareness about work from their lesser known peers. Where would Eli Roth be without Quentin Tarantino, or Neill Blomkamp be without Peter Jackson, or Danny McBride and Jody Hill be without the better half of Hollywood’s comedy titans? That’s why it’s nice to see “Evil Dead” creators Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert “hand pick” the indie horror films they admire, and then assist in their distribution.

Overall Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0

Raimi and Tapert’s “Ghost House Underground” series began last year with a collection of eight features that included the exuberant zombie satire “Dance of the Dead.” This year’s collection has shrunk to four features, none of which are as fun or memorable as last year’s “Dance.” Only one film manages to satisfy, while the other three vary in their degrees of mediocrity and failure.

Fantasia '09: The Children (Film Review)

28 July 2009 2:07 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Orphan may be wringing some nasty, campy fun out of its evil-kid scenario in theaters right now, but The Children (screened at this month’s Fantasia film festival in Montreal, and coming on special-edition DVD from Lionsgate in October) is the real thing, a film that evokes true terror from the premise of our own offspring turning against us. In fact, never mind comparisons within its limited subgenre; this British production is one of the most effective fright features in recent years, period.

The setup is both simple and a little hard to sort out at first: Elaine (Eva Birthistle) and Jonah (Stephen Campbell Moore) bring their kids to the isolated country home of her sister Chloe (Rachel Shelley), Chloe’s husband Robbie (Jeremy Sheffield) and *their* kids for a Christmas celebration. For a little while, it’s difficult to keep track of which children belong to which adults, with »

Foreign Objects: The Children (UK)

18 June 2009 6:05 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Foreign Objects travels the world of international cinema each week to look for films worth visiting. So renew your passport, get your shots, and brush up on the local age of legal consent, this week we’re heading to… the UK! Who doesn't enjoy watching cinematic mayhem perpetrated by and against bratty, misbehaving children?  It may not be as highly ranked on your list of guilty pleasures as it is on mine (above movies based on SNL sketches and below the oeuvre of Kevin Costner), but you'll agree it's a sweetly cathartic release watching disrespectful little bastards get put down.  No?  Just me?  I can't be the only one as the "killer kid" genre has a long and healthy existence with films like Children of the Corn, Devil Times Five, The Bad Seed, and the Spanish shocker, Who Can Kill a Child? to name just a few.  There's something innately frightening about children not only capable of »

'The Children' Heads to DVD in UK

9 March 2009 9:58 PM, PDT | ESplatter.com | See recent ESplatter news »

Tom Shankland's killer-kids-on-the-loose thriller "The Children" is hitting DVD in the UK March 30. While one would think this might dash hopes of a theatrical release in the U.S., "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" has been out on DVD in Europe for quite some time and is still getting a U.S. theatrical release. The film, which stars Jeremy Sheffield, Rachel Shelley, Stephen Campbell, Eva Birthistle, Hannah Tointon, and Eva Sayer, sounds more than a little like "Island of the Damned." During a relaxing Christmas vacation, parents have to fight for survival as the children begin to turn on them. Ugh, don't you hate it when that happens? . . . »

Review of Tom Shankland's The Children

21 January 2009 6:36 AM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

Year: 2008

Release date: Unknown

Directors: Tom Shankland

Writers: Tom Shankland / Paul Andrew Williams

IMDb: link

Trailer: link

Review by: Ben Austwick

Rating: 9 out of 10

Two middle-class families meet to spend New Year together in a rambling country home, the chaotic squealing of their many children turning to something more sinister as a mysterious illness turns them into crazed killers. That's about the size of "The Children", but luckily this is a film that amounts to much more than the sum of its parts, devastating in its simplicity.

Unusually for a contemporary British horror film "The Children" plays it straight, the rare moments of subtle humour lying in conversations between the cast. Hannah Tointon (with the biggest part as rebellious teenager Casey) is brilliant, getting stuck in to the relationships she has with her idiotic stepfather (Jeremy Sheffield) and cool but slightly pervy uncle (Stephen Campbell Moore), who together with Eva Birthistle »
