1974's "Devil Times Five" (a.k.a. "The Horrible House on the Hill" and "People Toys") rides the line of good taste as it offers a story about mentally ill children who enjoying killing adults, spending a weekend at Lake Arrowhead murdering a collection of couples who've settled in for a nice vacation. The "Evil Kids" genre is a tough one to deal with, as it takes a special filmmaking touch to extract the horror of the situation without making the whole endeavor mean-spirited. While "Devil Times Five" isn't a polished picture, with plenty of dim directorial and editorial choices, it's also not an endeavor that's looking to destroy viewers with scenes of cruel behavior. There's plenty of violence to satisfy genre fans, but the movie isn't a complete chore to get through, helping it to rise above the competition. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
