5.0 out of 5 stars very good, February 24, 2010
This review is from: The Children (Amazon Instant Video)
Very good scary movie. Not a slasher, but well-acted, suspenseful, and extremely creepy. Also doesn't suffer from overexplaining disease.

2.0 out of 5 stars It sucked, December 30, 2009
By 
This review is from: The Children (Amazon Instant Video)
The movie first off had a few actors that I respected in the movie so with that, I thought is would be worth the watch. But, right off it was very confusing. The movie was slow to take off like waiting in traffic on the runway at the airport. Then when it did, you were like huh? What caused this? The scenes which could of been better were quick cuts which you really didn't see much. Don't watse your money it will be on TV soon.
