Worse yet, the evil little bugger tracks mud all through the house. There's never any question about zombie Gage's intentions: he shambles home and goes straight for the scalpel in his father's medical bag. but let's not forget all those people she killed.īecause the Creeds have an ancient Indian burial ground in their backyard (and really, what family in a '80s horror flick doesn't?), Gage's father is able use its mystical rock piles, or cairns, to resurrect his son. Elevated by Eliot Goldenthal's rich, Oscar-nominated score, Interview with the Vampire rips the heart out of its melancholic protagonist when it exposes Claudia to the sun. Claudia is at her most vicious when she poisons her vampire dad on the dead blood of twins, then slits his throat and stands there smirking coldly as he bleeds out. Other vampires aren't safe around her, either, least of all Lestat, who feeds on families with her until her resentment at being trapped in a child's body backfires on him. Basically, any human adult put in close proximity to Claudia is liable to wind up becoming a casual snack for her. The more fun-loving Lestat can only scold Claudia in exasperation as she dispatches the dressmakers and piano teachers they've hired for her. "A little child she was, but also a fierce killer, now capable of the ruthless pursuit of blood with all a child's demanding," Louis narrates morosely. Samara/Sadako ain't having any of that.Ĭlaudia is the kind of girl who keeps rotting corpses hidden under a mound of dolls on her bed. What I appreciated, however, was the fake-out where you think you're going to get the nice, happy Sixth Sense ending with the misunderstood ghost just needing to make its peace. Sure, it's more Hollywoodized, with Verbinski cross-cutting between the victim's loft and Naomi Watts' exhortations of, "Pick up the phone!" as she races across town in her car, the way characters in movies do. Like many stateside viewers, I saw The Ring first-and I had to walk home alone at night from my local 8-screen after seeing it, so that ending really stayed with me. In The Ring, Samara's squishy, waterlogged corpse feet track across floorboards. In Ringu, we see Sadako's nailless fingers clawing the tatami mat.

A dead wet girl (quite a few of those going around see also Nakata's Dark Water) crawls out of a well and through the TV screen to enact vengeance. But for me, this twice-told tale of VHS terror remains indelible because of its ending. It's a great high concept, made scarier by the need to copy the cursed tape like a malignant chain letter. You're about to wade into a playroom where the tykes are all finger-painting with the blood of adults. ("I see dead people," "They're heeere," etc.) However, with this list, we'll be focusing mainly on the kids who are straight-up evil or possessed and whose desire to harm others plays an integral role in the plot. Of course, there are any number of horror films where precocious youngsters say or do things that contribute to the overall creepy atmosphere. In honor of that, we're diving back through the last 60 years of film history, taking a reverse-chronological look at the 10 scariest movie children. It hits theaters on Friday and this film has some elements that will poke at the child-fearing part of the brain. Now, the wait is finally over and The Lodge is almost here. It's been a long road to the release of their new feature, The Lodge, which premiered at Sundance last year and earned some rave reviews, only to see its release date pushed back until after this year's festival. Writer-directors Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala ventured into pedophobic territory with their 2014 Austrian film, Goodnight Mommy. It's yielded ghost girls aplenty and more than one son of Satan. There's a whole time-honored sub-genre of horror that plays upon pedophobia, the fear of children. You don't have to be a childless millennial at Disney World to be afraid of kids.
