Synopsis
Noted character actor L.Q. Jones (who would later direct the cult classic A Boy and His Dog) produced this low-budget horror item about a small Southwestern town torn asunder by the mysterious disappearances of several of its children. Jones plays the town sheriff, who joins forces with some of the locals to find the perpetrators and uncovers a diabolical plot concocted by a coven of elderly devil-worshippers who plan to use the children's bodies as receptacles for their own souls, enabling them to live again in younger bodies. To this end, they use their supernatural abilities to slay any meddling adults by turning the kids' toys into deadly war machines. Creepy opening and closing sequences and a bravado performance from Strother Martin (as the king-daddy Warlock) are the film's strongest assets. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

It was as if they wrote the thing, and then decided not to finish it with an ending. I guess maybe if you are a Satanist you might get it, but for regular (non devil-worshipers) save your time and money. No scares, no laughs, no gore, no nothing. This movie ....

(Report this)   0 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Another worthless exploitation of the occult, Aug 19 2003 By A Customer A truly meaningless, meandering little film that has zero understanding of the occult in general and Satanism in particular. I found no exemplary acting to offset the mindless script, either. Not as bad as 'Devil's Rain'--this is a little bit more artistic and imaginative--but the dialogue is nearly as bad; both are superficial, exploitative, and shamelessly ignorant. If you want diabolical thrills and chills, then I suggest 'The Mask of Satan,' 'Rosemary's Baby,' or even 'The Wicker Man'. All of these are masterpieces by comparison--and scary as well. Although every one of these films needlessly misrepresent witchcraft and paganism in the name of the almighty dollar. Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   "Come in, Children..."., April 21 2003 By  cookieman108 "cookieman108®" (Inside the jar...) - See all my reviews    I was expecting a sort of 'satanists vs the townspeople' type movie, but what I got was sort of a creepy little movie. The first 30 to 45 minutes of the movie it sort of drags you around, not really presenting you with a story, but different scenes and incidents...and then the movie starts to let you in on what's going on, and things really start getting freaky. The basic story of the movie deals with a man, his daughter and his girlfriend, a town under the control of a mysterious force, helpless to do anything about it, and how it trys to understand what's going on. A couple of lurid horror scenes, but nothing really over the top, which I like, and relatively good acting all around. What's nice about a movie like this is it doesn't spell everything out for you, treat you like you need everything explained to you. I've always liked Strother Martin and I think he does a pretty good job here. I wonder how I would have viewed this movie if it had a different title? I mean, "Brotherhood of Satan' kind of gives it away, in that you get the idea that the movie is about a satanic cult. But, had you not had that information, and let the movie disclose it as it did, I think it would have been more effective. There's not a lot in the way of special effects, instead relying more on atmosphere to build suspense, and pretty effectively. One thing that suprised me was the lack of pentagrams you so often see in movies dealing with this subject matter. To sum it up, a raw, unpolished movie, short of effects but heavy on atmosphere that kept me engaged until the end. Was this review helpful to you?
