"Beware: Children at Play" (1989)

In the gore-fest that is Beware: Children at Play, the premise is simple: a bunch of children go missing in a small town, and a writer and a cop go out looking for them.  Have they fallen victim to a serial killer, or a sex slave operation?  No.  Instead, they are recruited into a primitive, cannibalistic cult where they lure unsuspecting adults to their death.  While some would suggest that this flick is beyond ridiculous, I happen to find the combination of murderous children and low-budget filmmaking quite charming.

Just your luck, folks-- this movie is available to watch instantly on Netflix.  If you are really partial to campy, gory flicks, go buy it on Amazon.  In the meantime, here's a clip to tide you all over:



P.S. Beware: Children at Play is a product of Troma, a campy horror studio that produced such classics as The Toxic Avenger and Terror Firmer.

P.S.S. This movie is not very well-known, but it is most famous around horror circles for its shocking ending, where the adults of the town end up killing their children in gruesome, if not unbelievable, ways.
