Likewise I never enjoyed Waz. Was really pleasantly surprised how good The Children was.
They were really creepy. Almost the British version of Children of the Corn. At times seem wrong but right in cheering on the little mite's deaths!
Also like that the fact nothing was explained about the children turning murderous. Apart from the odd clue about coughing up blood.
Loved the shots of the snow covered trees. Would love to live in a house like that.

My favourite too.
And with the remote snow and woods setting it evoked Devil Times Five:

In my opinion 15 mins out of the first half hour could have happily been cut. I got REALLY fed up of the screaming cildren and happy families. But then once it got going I enjoyed it much more than I was expecting (didn't like Waz either, cops just bore me to tears). So yeah, not a very exciting surprise for me but it was very watchable.
Anyone else think the 'virus' came from that Dad's chinese herbal medicines?

Was a bit hard to believe a bunch of 6 year old could terrorise and murder a load of adults, but once you got around that this was a good fim.
I didn't like wΔz either, so I was glad this was totally different. it was good that we didn't get any boring back story about the families or why the children were messed up, and it pretty much dived straight into the film. Those children were really evil and creepy - especially those 2 towards the end who went up the stairs to get that woman.
Liked it....although I was dissappointed the surprise film wasn't Black Shampoo!!! lol

I loved this - my favorite of the night.
I thought it was a good move to focus on the power of children over adults. If kids go bad, any number of hormones and instincts pretty much guarentee the children will win.
I'd like to see it in a double bill with The Bad Seed, with Star Trek episode 'And The Children Shall Lead' playing in between

Like a lot of people I think based on audience reaction have to say I loved this film, reminded me of a few different films merged in together but in a good way, body snatchers, village of the damned that sort of thing, felt a bit guilty cheering on the kids deaths but hey...they deserved it!! Also liked the fact that there was no big deal made of how the virus came to be just a little small talk about the dads work and childrens vunerability to catching things, that will do let the slaughter begin!!!!
Yeah but its a dry heat!
