Lots of spoilers.
So awful, I don't even know where to start. Okay, let's start with the horrible folksinging soundtrack. OMG. I forgot they used to do that way back in the 70's. They would do these terrible songs that were supposed to mimic the plot. And that's what we have here.
We also have a plot so tame, it could be a Disney movie of the week. This movie can't decide if it wants to be The Waltons or a murder mystery. Except there really is no mystery as it's all given away very early on.
The movie has a good base plot that could actually be a horror film, if done properly. But unfortunately, it wasn't. Basically, the kids kidnap adults and try to force them to be their parents. And when it doesn't work out, the eldest one kills them. But not this time. As the hero of this film makes them see just how wrong killing is just by talking to them. Seriously, I was like WHUT? And they walk off together toward town so he can supposedly get the family some help. Then we get treated to more of the awful folksong. The end.
There was no blood and guts in this film. There were no killings. All we get is the knowledge that they have done this many times as there are many cars at the bottom on the creek and a lot of people's stuff left in the house. It's not a horror film. It could be remade into a great one, but as this film stands, it's like a terrible watered down Disney movie of the week.
If you're looking for horror, you will be really disappointed here. There's nothing to see.
