Bought a film called 'The Children' today on DVD. It's a Horror, and I like Horror films a lot.

But it's also a GOOD horror film (with an extremely attractive female read in the form of Hannah Tointon).

I am now more terrified of having children than before. Seriously creepy, atmospheric, and terrifying in places. And it's not even finished yet.

MDG is terrified of having children. He should be. They are terrifying. Then they take the money out of your wallet and spend it. Then they aeat all your food. Then they demand more food and money.

Children, pint sized versions of the federal government?

Havent heard of it before doc, ill checkout the live marketplace on the 360 to see if its there

MDG could this be why people on bicycles steer clear of you (other thread?)

Frazz, if he gaks himself on a regular basis i can see alot of people keeping clear

I haven't heard of it before either. I browsed Video City and Blockbuster for it, but I couldn't find it, and it isn't scheduled for screening on the satellite TV movie channels or even HD On Demand. I'm going to have to order it online, it seems.

Assuming I can find it at all.

It's a fairly low budget British Film, but totally greater than the sum of it's parts.

The gore is done very well, and is actually pretty convincing for the most part. Acting is superb, especially the kids, and the whole shebang really comes together.

And whilst we're at it, also track down 'Children of Men' with Clive Owen and Juliette SomethingorotherwhosenameIcannotremember. Fantastic film!

Julianne Moore.

Good film, take your Dramamine beforehand though [wobble,wobble, BARF]

Thats the puppy!

I've got to agree with you, MDG, The Children is an excellent film.

The storyline, execution and "feel" certainly deliver far beyond it's budget and, as you say, it's very well acted without overplaying anything.

Only after watching did I realise that, as a father of FIVE snotlings, my days could well be numbered !

I think the best sum up is a curious mix of a film which borrows from Village of the Damned and The Birds.

And even then, I do it something of a disservice, as to my knowledge the plot itself is pretty original, and the delivery is beyond a mere homage!
