I hate being the type of dick to say this type of thing, but this film already exists and it's called "Who Can Kill a Child."

Seriously, it's the same damn movie, only that one is far more epic. Everything this guy describes is in that movie. I don't doubt for one moment that he hasn't seen it and is shamelessly ripping off of it. I'm surprised he's getting away with it.

For years, that movie was nearly impossible to find, but it finally got a decent dvd release last spring and all the horror mags like Rue Morgue and Fangoria covered the sh*t out of it.

Really, same movie. Except the stills here are unimpressive.

I believe they're well aware of Who Can Kill a Child, and in fact in Tom's original copy he talks about the influence of that film, though for space we weren't able to include his comment. The Children, he says, takes the concept a step further in that it involves the parents of the kids.

I've followed the film for a while and think there could well be something in it, hence the decision to profile it here. I believe they hadn't screened Who Can Kill A Child when the script was being written but saw it ahead of starting production.

This is exactly why I keep recommending to city hall that they build more wells, we need somewhere to keep the little flea *****ers while they roam like infested bags of plague. No one is gonna want to kill them, so throw em in a well.

And if the "live doll" of the child involves anything less than a slow motion train impact I will be very dissapointed. I suggest the director email the scene to me so that I may snicker and promote his dirty film project.

Will there be nudity? If you want to push lines with children, you know there is only one way.

Sounds like a very promising film. But I am getting tired of the virus thing in horror films. Although in our society today that is what works, back in the 60's and 70's they used religion and mysticism to scare the heck out of you, now it is science that scares people.
