The sounds of children wailing and screaming is tedious and enough to make you want to turn off this film and get yourself sterilised! Acting is good in places but the foley and after dubbing is plain painful, I wanted to invest myself in this film but could not. Dire!

This could have been a good film but I couldn't get past the first 30 minutes. The sound effects team have clearly just stuck a tape recorder in a Jungle Jim soft play park & recorded screaming kids for 2 hours. Awful, awful noise pollutes the film.

The concept of the film that under 10's could take out a group of adults seems a ridiculous concept; that is until you realise how gullible and immensely stupid the parents really are. If it would have been me, all the kids would have been dead within five minutes of the first murder and I'd have had one of them for Christmas dinner; as they didn't appear to have a turkey. Also, you would have been able to have another one for new year; freeze the rest and that's another two years sorted. The only one that seemed to grasp the concept of their situation was the eldest daughter, who against the odds, (and of course the stupid parents) did a sterling job of wiping out the screaming little brats. The only redeeming feature of this film and the reason I gave it an eight, is that kids died .... and we don't get enough of that in films (For the ultimate child death, watch the opening scenes of 'God Bless America' ..... Excellent....

From the many good reviews and great praises this movie had gotten, then I had my expectation up high. But I must say that the movie failed to live up to those expectations. While the premises were quite interesting and the movie did offer some unique things, it just didn't push the right buttons for me.The story is about two families away together on a countryside vacation. And what starts as an idyllic vacation with snow and fun suddenly turns into a fight for their lives as their children mysteriously turn ill and start attacking the adults.Personally I found the no description of what caused the children to go berserk an interesting thing, because it keeps the audience in the dark and guessing. But I could also see how it would be a cause of frustration to some.And the fact that it is children who kill and also gets killed is something rarely seen in movies. So director Tom Shankland deserves a thumbs up for breaking the norm and going into taboo land.There were some good enough death scenes and a bit of blood and gore too. And again the director dares to show stuff that goes past what is commonly seen in movies.However, there was just something missing from the movie in order for it to really captivate me. I don't know what it was, but it just lacked that special ingredient.
