The Children (2008). This wonderfully creepy flick begins innocently enough, but then an ineffable atmosphere of doom slowly creeps in to dominate everything. Even worse, kids and adults alike act and react in a surprisingly realistic fashion. The foreboding sense of doom just keeps building and building until it is too late; the worst imaginable possibility has become a reality. Great acting, wickedly superb camera work, and some confident direction makes this a delightfully awful treat. Mercie beaucoup.
