(HORROR) Home Movie - 2008 **

This is an appallingly acted film. I always hone in on horror films that feature evil children because they are usually a lot scarier than adults. However these 2 children were awful. I can't tell if they are just very bad at acting or whether they are meant to come across as the vacuous, dull characters that they do.
It's basically a movie documenting the descent of this family into a terrifying madness caused by the 2 children who seem to be unhinged and dangerous. The father insists on documenting absolutely everything so a lot of the film is taken up with menial junk such as having breakfast, watching TV and going for walks around the garden.When the climax comes, it's predictable, stupid and not in the least bit frightening. Better to watch something like 'Children of the Corn' to see really frightening children.
