zombietackle sure, it drags at parts, but mostly this is a fun little film, with really good gore. the gore does come far and few in between, but when it shows, it shines. there is a very cool scene in witch a man is cut in half with a scythe, the effect works very well, and at first i did not notice how well it works. also, one thing to watch for is the ending, if you had a bad day, and some little kid is acting like a jerk to you, watch this ending, and you will feel better. the story is well told, but for gore fans, it drags in places, but give it a chance, and you might find it creepy in a way. but the best thing about this film is the ending, witch is one of the best ending put to film, but seeing as the story is built up so much, that the ending really sudden. check it out for all of this that i just talked about, and don't trust kids! my rating: 7/10
Flak_Magnet This movie is a total bait and switch. I went into it having some positive expectations, namely, that I'd see a lot of grade school kids murdering their parents in a series of bloodsoaked rituals. However, this kind of stuff never really happens and it isn't until the FINAL 90-SECONDS that the director pulls out the stops, providing us with a hilariously bad "massacre" scene that had my brother and I rolling. The rest of this movie, however, is entirely forgettable and I can't recommend it. That final 90-seconds is awesome, yes, but you have to sit through a lot of boring crap and listen to a lot of bad writing to get there. If you just have to see the funny clip at the end where the kids all get killed, I'd search the web versus wasting a rental slot. Trust me, this movie sucks. A lot. ---|--- Reviews by Flak Magnet
Woodyanders The children of a sticksville Pine Barrens, New Jersey hamlet venture off into the surrounding woods and become members of a crazed cannibal cult which turns the little buggers into feral, fiendish, flesh-eating freaks. The nasty nippers attack adults and devour their corpses. When the scared devoutly religious townspeople find out what's happening they form into a dangerously hysterical and heavily armed mob who go storming into the forest with the specific intention of killing their own kids. Boy, is this jaw-dropping wackoid wonder one really creepy, disturbing and seriously sick movie! Director Mik Cribben, who also shot and edited the picture and portrays the deranged ringleader of the insane posse (Cribben's other credits include second unit work on "Annie" and "The Eyes of Laura Mars," plus various behind-the-scenes contributions to such horror films as "Squirm," "Nightmare," and "The Deadly Spawn"), effectively creates a spooky and mysterious tone, elicits sound performances from a game no-name cast, keeps the pace chugging along at a slow, yet steady clip, and, most importantly, pours on the graphic carnage by the nauseating bucketful. WARNING: Possible *SPOILERS* ahead. Lots of tykes get messily offed in copious volume in the truly jolting climax: one tot's head goes boom into a dozen bloody bits by a pump shotgun blast, another child's brains get splattered when a pistol is jammed in his mouth, and a third moppet winds up impaled on a pitchfork that's rammed through his neck. Furthermore, we even get a pertinent message about the hazards of hardcore religious dogma and the equally lethal lynch mob mentality. A beautifully bent, batty and berserk bloodthirsty barn burner.
tigerbeau 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!!!
