Film Review - There’s Something Wrong with the Children
January 17, 2023
“There’s Something Wrong with the Children” is a misleading title. There’s something wrong with everyone in the feature, which examines real and unreal trouble coming for two couples looking to have a refreshing weekend in the woods. The screenplay by T.J. Cimfel and David White isn’t a “Bad Seed” clone, more interested in marital communication and parental fears than devious little ones, which gives the film an unusual air of hostility. However, the production doesn’t sustain such psychological games for long enough, with more physical acts of survival coming into play. Director Roxanne Benjamin (“Body at Brighton Rock”) tries to inspire a fear factor in the picture, but formula eventually wins in the end, gradually limiting the dramatic potential of the movie.
