the children (2008)

"They're monsters."
Two sisters meet up for Christmas. One seemingly having the perfect family. The other, a family full of problem, a rebellious teenager, a clingy child, and the youngest, introverted, uncommunicative and sickly. But soon the children start acting up and complaining of feeling ill...
Develops the theme that children can cynically manipulate their parents to a whole nother level. Slow to build the atmosphere, as it spends its time on character development, but then the switch is flicked and its none stop gore. Interesting film, that is entertaining, without being gripping.
