\nWhere To Watch:<\/strong> The Innocents comes to Shudder on August 18<\/p>\n

\n

While this originally came out back in May, it’s getting its release on Shudder now, and I have to admit I wasn’t as impressed as I had hoped. I had heard a lot of positives about the film leading up to its release and the reviews that followed. Ultimately, it just wasn’t for me; I felt like I had seen this story repeatedly to a varying degree. In terms of child actors, these left me with an all-encompassing fear of unease and dread. I feel like that was part of the draw, but I also felt like, generally speaking, the film was kind of generic.<\/p>\n

If you want a film that does this better, in my opinion, I would recommend THE CHILDREN. Although knowing Hollywood, there’s probably already an American remake of this in the works. Depending on how they handle it, I could also see it being enjoyable. I will say that I appreciated the inclusion in this film without feeling forced. To me, that’s an essential aspect of making comments like this irrelevant. Someday in the future, I hope that film is inclusive across the board so everyone can see themselves on screen.<\/p>\n

Horror seems to be ripe with children that are out of control, and for better or worse, I feel like we’ll have this subgenre for years to come. It’s nothing new either; I think most every way it can be done has been. That’s not to say something won’t come along someday and blow my mind, but in general, I haven’t been impressed with one for some time. As always, that’s just my two cents; this doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it, so give it a try! (or wait for the inevitable remake…)<\/p>\n
