Brand new factory sealed dvd.

Alan (producer Alan Ormsby), an egomaniac theatrical director, escorts several struggling hired actors (his "children") to a remote island where they can perform a satanic ritual. It all turns out to be one big, sick lark involving some tasteless practical jokes in which they dig up a corpse (nicknamed "Orville") and read spells which will supposedly bring him back to life.

The omnisexual Alan also arranges for his two flamboyantly gay pals to run around in cheap costumes and scare the folks for no apparent reason other than his own twisted private amusement. Unfortunately, as it turns out, the black magic spells really do work. The corpses begin to rise in a particularly foul mood, and Alan finds his callous witticisms useless in the face of clutching, rotting hands of the undead.

Director Bob Clark generates a truly chilling atmosphere throughout, but once the dead start to walk, things get very, very creepy. Despite it's flaws, the movie features a terrific concluding half hour in which the horror finally takes over completely. In essence CHILDREN operates like an E.C. Comics tale stretched out to feature length, with thoroughly obnoxious, vile characters who all get their just desserts.
