This dvd is has a excellent print of the children.  It's a decent horror movie that is creepy and low budget. The gore effects are quite good though.  I don't agree at all that this is a terrible movie. In fact it's a quite horrible idea that your kids would kill you at that age. And this explains how parents would be easy prey for killer kids.  They wouldn't believe it till it was too late.  The acting is quite decent and this british film has nothing to be ashamed about.  It's hard for me to rate a decent horror movie badly when it's low budget. What do viewers expect when they buy low budget horror? Masterpieces of cinema?  A few become that but to be fair how many A movies are bad and they have lots of money? The violence when it comes is pretty graphic and this movie is not for children. It takes about half the movie for the violence to start but who cares?  Movies tell a story and not every horror movie can be fast moving action fests. Those are fine too; but movies are NOT video games and I don't expect insant gratification from them.  So for me I enjoyed this movie and was creeped out by it quite nicely.  I just wish the other  movie of the same name the 1980 cult hit  'the children' was on a dvd with this  nice a print.  That one is pure low budget cult flick  heaven.
