6/10
Dumb title - decent movie.

Warning: Spoilers
Some confusion comes with the movie... why does the stoic, deep-voiced killer have an evil, disturbed clown laugh, exactly? At one point, I wasn't sure if there was one bad guy or multiple. How did the younger child go from having trouble breathing and needing an emergency room ASAP to screaming her head off with seemingly no health issues? Why is the mother not all THAT disturbed that her child was close to the street?

That being said, the movie was tense and I was drawn in to the storyline and anticipation of what would happen next. I'll preface this by saying that I don't watch a ton of horror movies, but there were some scenes that I felt had some originality. Another review mentioned that the ending was strange because it happened in broad daylight. I felt that added to the creepiness of the whole thing. There is no...safety of the morning. The nightmare continues!

Yvonne was excellent in her role and I felt the kids were pretty realistic. The reviews that mention how annoying the kids are because of their screaming... I mean, really? What do you expect them to do? These are girls that fall into a tea party trap in the middle of the woods - that is their intellect level. Come on now..

I don't feel the need to watch it again, but I am glad that I saw it. Will there be another? Could be, and I would probably tune in.
