Review of There's Something Wrong with the Children

The only reason I can think that this film is getting bad reviews is that it is from people who like to be spoon fed their horror films. They want the same old rubbish, the same old remakes, the same old jump scares, and the 10th film in a series. There's Something Wrong with the Children is a refreshing horror film. I admit that I was not a fan of the opening credits, I think that they could have been done better and it had me trigger itchy to turn it off, however I had already watched one exceptionally bad horror flick for the day and I wanted to at least get a good one in, so I held in there and was glad that I did.

Basically two couples (one with two children) are staying with cabins, when out hiking they stumble across this abandoned building come ruins that has this strange pit that the kids are attracted to and get blood noses near. From that the kids begin to change personality and mayhem ensues.

Now these kids are creepy little buggers. Whoever is saying that these kid actors can't act.. please. These two are brilliant.

All the acting was on par, apart from the ranger's delivery, which was to say the least a bit cheesy.

The film was long, and could have been edited to speed it up a bit. But I can't say that I was bored at any point.

I really enjoyed this film. Like I said it was really refreshing to watch something original for a change.
