Retro Trailer For The 1980 Grindhouse Horror Movie THE CHILDREN
This week’s retro trailer is for the 1980 grindhouse horror film The Children, which centers on a bus-load of children who are transformed into murderous atomic zombies with black fingernails.
In the quaint, unsuspecting town of Ravensback, a school bus ride takes a chilling turn when a toxic cloud caused by a nearby nuclear plant transforms a group of innocent children into sinister, murderous tykes. With their newfound and eerie ability to burn anyone they touch. The transformed children terrorize the town, leaving a trail of horror in their wake. As the hapless residents scramble to make sense of the surreal nightmare unfolding before them, they're faced with a heart-wrenching dilemma: How do you save your town when the menace is your own flesh and blood?
It's a chilling game of cat and mouse as the terrified townsfolk attempt to outwit the pint-sized predators. Armed with an insidious touch and an unnerving talent for hide and seek, these are no ordinary children. Instead of craving candy, they hunger for chaos.
The micro-budget horror movie was directed by Max Kalmanowicz, and it’s currently available to watch on Peacock if you want to watch it!
Parents, be warned: bedtime stories won't put these little monsters to sleep. Instead, they're the stuff nightmares are made of. Enjoy the trailer!
