Pretty disappointing B movie. The story is daft (a kid turns feral after a camping trip in the woods where his dad dies and he is left to fend for himself. Years later, he somehow coaxes children of the near-by town into living with him in the woods and attacking all adults. None of this is explained apart from an extremely tenuous idea that he turned murderous because no one came to help him and his dad - no search party? How he brainwashes all the other kids is not even mentioned).All in all, a real slow mover with nonsensical script, character actions, plot etc. Terrible acting too.However, the last 5 minutes are crazy, when a bunch of adults from the town come and slaughter all the wayward kids that have been living in the woods (this includes their own children). It is nonsensical madness but even more than that, I was *slightly* disturbed by the rather perversely graphic killings of the kids in what was a sudden and jarring change of pace and atmosphere. I was particularly surprised at the guy who holds a kid by the hair, puts a gun into his mouth and blows the back of his head out. I don't know why I felt slightly disturbed but I did. Still, the fact that it suddenly became weird, fast paced, gory and a tad more interesting earned it one more star than I would otherwise have given.

The whole background to this story is just terrifying. What if a group of children had a group where they killed grown ups and ate them. That would scare me. But the movie was not that scary and could of had a lot of changes. It would of been nice if the children were more scary. The only scary thing about them was they would hide in the fields and whisper to each other. It was like watching a wimpier version of "Children of the Corn". Basically a kids dad dies who taught the child strange Anglo-Saxon stories. As a revenge the kid grows up and thinks he is a leader of a group that kills adults. He gets other kids under his belt and forms a killing cult. Some of the acting was OK and some was just horrible. They had a few good gore scenes but then near the end, the gore and killing gets out of hand. I almost felt like I was watching a horror spoof near the end. I can remember two scenes in this film that should of not been in there. They were put in there out of good taste and really had nothing to do with the story line. Also I am not sure if the editor was sleeping, but there were a few scenes with very noticeable errors that should of been fixed or taken out. If you look at the poster for this movie, it will scare you. It comes off as very creepy. But when you finally watch the film, your whole view changes. In fact, I actually liked the film until halfway though. Then it just got silly.

When I was still in high school, my friend called me up and told me to rent this movie. I believe his exact words were, "You will want to kill yourself this movie is so bad... but the last five minutes make up for the suckiness of the entire movie up to that point." And he was right.The Movie is TERRIBLE. You know those kinds of movies that are so bad that they're good, in a funny kind of way? Well, this one is like that, except it's so bad that it passes right by funny and is almost impossible to get through.But then there's the last five minutes. I've never been so happy to see a lot of people die, and I was laughing my ass off the entire time. It should be noted, however, that I had been drinking as a way of coping with the movie thus far, and therefore, it is possible that my impressions of the ending were slightly skewed. But that did not stop me from recommending the movie to all my friends, if only to make them sit through what I had to sit through.If you liked "In the woods" or the 1st version of "The hitchhiker's guide" then you should have a ball with this one. However, seeing as how I've never met anyone who actually DID like the 1st version of "the hitchhiker's guide"...

this would have to be the worst movie ever by far!! the movie is plagued with bad acting, terrible editing and shocking direction, oh! and not to mention the storyline!!! yuk!! this film is an insult to the film it ripped off, children of the corn was a great horror flick but this was just another writer who did'nt want to think of a story all by himself so he decided to rip up a cult classic. this film was actually bought out on DVD in Australia and stupid me wanting to buy, which i did!, thinking that it might be a good horror film but noooooooooo!!! i was left bemused and annoyed that i wasted my time and money into this terrible piece of d grade garbage!!!
