tonight's feature: There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023) on Prime
Have you ever watched a horror movie and thought, "oh man, this is an outright snoozefest" but then after nearly giving up, you were finally like "oh damn, this movie sort of slaps!"(like the kids all say)? Well that's more or less what happened with me and There's Something Wrong with the Children. I'm no expert, but my hunch is There's Something Wrong with the Script.
Two bickering couples are hanging out in adjacent cabins deep in the woods. One couple has two creepy kids. They all go hiking and find a strange fort with a deep, foggy hole. The kids are mesmerized by the hole and start acting weird. Blah blah blah, the kids go missing, blah blah they fall into the hole. OR DID THEY? I wasn't sure what was going on and I didn't really care much... until the kids turned into evil little freaks. They start messing with the mentally unstable guy and he gets even more mentally unstable and before you know it people start turning up dead. Stuff gets good and bloody and then suddenly it's over, with one of those endings that makes you grimace like the time you rolled up to the library but it was already closed. Pretty decent flick if you're into bugs and chittering sounds. 6 pointless devil sticks out of 10.
