I must get this clear before I right this review, I absolutely cannot stand zombie films, I think they are completely ridiculous and do NOT scare me one bit.
However, saying that, this film, wasn't a typical zombie film with your zombies roaming around making noises with their arms out and their head tilted. No, this film was a little different than that. For starters, the zombies are children who at most must be 8 years old! This film tells the story about a widow and her 2 daughters who are moving up into the mountains to a house she has inherited from her late husband. What strikes me as being "weird" is that, they have just packed up and left their home, to move a house they have NO idea about, in a place they have NO idea about...but anyway, it's just a film. Thye move in, the place is an absolute dump, really dark, dusty and creaky, and situated in the middle of the woods. Woods which shouldn't be visited during the night because thats when the children come out to play.
The youngest daughter soon makes friends with one of "the children" from the woods, and the mother rakes out a whole load of history from the basement of this house, discovering that a massive mine explosion killed a hell of a lot of children who worked as miners many many years ago.
As you can imagine, the children are very sick and very twisted and don't think twice about using a pick axe to gut somebody alive. I won't tell you WHY the children like to go out on mass killing sprees in the night, I'll let you watch and find out for yourself.
The real bad thing about this film, is, well, like I said in my opinion, I don't find zombie films to be particularly thrilling, but the thing that could've been better, is the ending. It just ends like that. No build up really, it just ends.
But watch it anyway, as all of these 8 films to see before you die, are all pretty good in their own way.
