A busload of children has disappeared from the quiet New England town of Ravensback, and Sheriff Billy Hart is on the case. A short while later, he manages to track down the kids, but unfortunately they seem to have been transformed into murderous zombies by a cloud of radioactive gas. How can he stop the killer tykes before they destroy the town?

I may watch this tonight if I end up in the mood for it. I really hope the bodycount is at least ten.

^ Well the bodycount was like 15+ but a lot were offscreen. But oh well, this was still good, especially compared to other Troma films lol.
The musical score added a bit of dread to some scenes and managed to give it a Friday The 13th-esque frenzy to others, even sounding identical to the original Friday's at times. In other words, it was a BRILLIANT score. It was really creepy seeing a bus full of kids driving through a cloud of toxic gas, ha. I love how Joyce had such an attitude with the cops randomly. The cemetery scene was decent and I really liked the deaths in this, despite the fact that many were way too similar to eachother.Janet's hootchie mom was a riot. Cop; "We think she may have been kidnapped" Mom; "Ooh a kidnapping in Ravensbrook! HOW EXCITING! ^_^ "
The parents here got it BAD! (lol) Harry was also very cute<3. There were a few good fake out scares here (my favorite being the time when someone was greeted by a perfectly-fine-person the exact same way that the toxic children 'greeted' people lol). Nothing was really off limits here. Old people, kids, dogs...you name it, it gets shot, chopped or burned. (shock) The very end was a bit drawn out and laughable and the third act was a tad disappointing (mainly because I was annoyed that the scale of the film shrunk in the last act, with only three major characters coming into play) but other than that, I liked it.

6/10 quality. 7.5-8/10 entertainment.

It was not as good as remembered it before,

I liked the story of the movie but I would have found the kids a lot more scary if they looked evil and don't

Black finger nails were not that scary

But I did like the kill scenes there were really fun to watch .

Also I didn't really like how slow they reacted to the news even thought the movie was face paced and not boring , it such Felt like they were reacting in slow motion and I actually shouted at the mo ie To hurry up

I found the end both funny and predicable ,

5 out of 10
