BEWARE: CHILDREN AT PLAY (1989)

  I guess there are 2 ways to look at this film. If you compare it to other Troma movies from this era it's pretty much complete garbage. On the other hand if you put it side by side with anything made by Troma since the 80s ended it looks fantastic! So take your pick. Personally I always have the lowest expectations whenever I bother watching anything made(or even released) by Troma studios, which isn't very often, so it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. If you enjoy watching little kids and teenagers being murdered over and over again that's pretty much the whole ending of the film so add bonus points for that. The plot is very simple and very stupid about a little boy whose dad gets caught in a beartrap so he naturally has to live in the woods forever after that. He grows up to learn advanced brainwashing techniques that he employs on all the children in the area to form his own gang/cult of murderous cannibals. In response the local townsfolk turn into raving religious nutsos who don't mind doing a little murdering of their own. It sounds a lot better than it actually is but the violence and blood(and even some teenager on mom rape to liven things up!) are thankfully abundant enough to ward off any excessive boredom.
