    There is very little shock value now to this film as the idea of 10 year olds running amok and killing people for fun has pretty much become a reality in today's society. It was quite novel back in 1981 though. How times change!
    There isn't a lot of gore in this but the death sce...( read more)nes are reasonably inventive even if unrealistic.
    Although this is just another B movie slasher pic, it's different enough to be entertaining. Just don't expect it to have any great acting in it or for the plot to explain anything.

    B movie values and flavor, but it held my interest. Three children without consciences do...things. If you're a fan of B movies and violence you may like this. I'd watch it again. Julie Brown gets to show her stuff, too. There's an interview with producer Max Rosenblum inclu...( read more)ded in the DVD tha's worth seeing.

    As far as killer kid flix Bloody Birthday isn't all that bad (certainly better than The Children but not as good as The Devil Times 5) plus you get to see Julie Browns sugar boobies

    Dammit,rented this from Netflix and it turns out I already saw it a few years ago. Wasn't any better this time around-just wanted to see those murderin' little punk-ass 10 year olds get tossed in jail for a hundred years or so!

    Below standard 80's slasher flick with the twist that 3 ten year olds are the killers. Even for a movie from this genre, it is poorly made.

    Not interested. In general I don't like horror movies.
