Synopsis

In the shocking new British horror flick THE CHILDREN from Tom Shankland (THE KILLING GENE), two related families with a posse of young kids in tow, decide to spend their Christmas holidays together at a remote rural cottage. But while the grown-ups are making merry with the wine, the little ones seem to be coughing a lot and behaving out of sorts. It’s not long before the children start to act disturbingly aggressive, and soon it becomes chillingly clear: they plan to murder the very people who gave birth to them. What follows is an intense rollercoaster ride of truly scary events that will have you jumping out of your seat as you watch possibly the most terrifying movie of the year.
