'I think the children are sick'.


Directed by: Tom Shankland

Starring: Eva Birthistle, Hannah Tointon, Stephan Campbell Moore

Released (UK): 5th December 2008





Concept



This British horror will put you off having kids if you don't have them already. A big family get together for the holidays in a secluded area is where this story takes place, everything is smiley, happy ane carefree...for now

One of the children feels sick.

Paulie, a young boy starts throwing up, the parents assume it was just travel sickness from the long journey. Seems natural, until the other kids start being sick. They cough up some strange mucus and look pale with bruised eyes.

Unbeknownst to the parents, the children are becoming violent, and are now torn between their love and survival in the desolate area.

Review

Again like Baby Blues this is one of those horrors when loved ones beging trying to stab you, as is the tradition of a family during the festive season.

It's violent, it's executional and pretty shocking in some parts. The film only raked in 100,000 pounds at the box office so it's fair to say this film probably flopped.

If you are planning to have kids don't watch this, you will reconsider afterwards.

The movie isn't fantastic but at least deserves one viewing.
