Best movie of this year hands down!
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I love the look of this movie. It has the fuzz look that i associate with 80's slashers on TV. This movie has a couple of good scenes that make it a great addition to your movie collection. A couple that stick out in my mind would be the scene where the little girl charges the boys a quarter to watch her teenage sister dance around topless. Another would be the teacher getting dispatched. The one scene i loved the most would be the kids chasing the kid Timmy i think his name is. He gets close to his house but they catch him and knock him down and start chocking him with a water hose. The ending is great too. The ending isn't something common in these kind of movies.The story is not complex, but the actors do well with what they had to work with, and it all comes across as almost campy fun. The adult actors in the film were quite bad and it seems like the kids were better actors in my opinion and the film had a really low budget. There are some neat and gory death scenes and of course lots of nudity, since no self-respecting 80's slasher flick would dare skip that, but what's really good about the movie is that it shows how manipulative these children are. Not only do all three of them pretend to act innocent and cute to hide their evil deeds, but they know how to prevent anyone from finding anything out, nobody suspects them so it's easier for them to continue killing. Unlike many other horror films from this period, it at least attempts to bring something original and imaginative. For once, the kids acting is good and the entire film has a creepy atmosphere and grizzly music. Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
This movie sure does cross some boundaries for it's time. The concept of a group of murdering kids would be very chilling in the early 80's. Children are always thought of pure and innocent and to see them in adult situations tips the scales. It gives you an unknown "x" factor in life and makes you think. This movie is a true gem. It is a moving force in the evolution of 80's horror. This film is in typical quality of that time and with equally typical bad acting. Although avid watchers of 80's horror are not watching this genre for the acting and quality. We are watching for the abstract ideas,kill scenes and the aura the movie propels. This movie is definitely in the top category of the 80's horror dynasty. I recommend this film. It's a feel good movie of kids vs. adults through grainy sequencing and low back light. Enjoy.
Lacking consciences because they were born during a solar eclipse, a trio of 10-year-olds embark on an indiscriminate killing spree.This is such a strange film. Because of the time it was released and the title, I figured it was a slasher film. It is not -- it is a "killer kids" film. That threw me off, expecting something else. But, that being said, it is not a bad movie and the premise is certainly something different.I enjoyed how frustrating it was for the heroine to know these kids were evil but there was little she could do about it. How do you tell people that 10-year olds are murderous miscreants? No one will believe that.Elizabeth Hoy, the killer girl, gave up acting while still a child (she apparently is now a hairdresser, happily married with kids of her own). This is too bad for us, as she clearly was the best actor of the three kids and I think there was a promising future for her.
This film features MTV VJ Julie Brown, but not the one called Downtown Julie Brown, as far as I can determine. Yes, there were two VJs named Julie Brown. She puts on a dance performance that alone makes the movie worth watching. She could have been in Playboy like the other Julie Brown.The film also includes José Ferrer, who had three Oscar nominations and a win prior to this; and Joe Penny from Jake and the Fatman.The three child stars really do put on a good show as they commit their sometimes bloody murders. The little girl (Elizabeth Hoy) was the creepiest of them all.
