Pretty intense watch. Overall well done, although some parts just make you roll your eyes.

I did take a lot off my rating for the unnecessarily graphic cat death scene. I mean, just come on man. Kill a cat without the dramatics. Skip 24m-28m if you aren't a sociopath.

This is a family-friendly film about children discovering that they have superhero-powers.

This film was all these kids' very first role and they're still better than 95% of the child actors you see in USA movies.

The only horror of this film are children, who were not taught any basic ethical values. Animal cruelty is in my eyes not a styletic means but a very cheap way to create horror. As if this were not enough, the film has built up no tension in the first 30 minutes. Absolute waste of time this film!

it is a decent movie. above average

a bunch of mind-sick ashole kiddos using some Jedi Tricks to terrorize their families and neighborhood. However - If you let the supernatural Part aside, this Flick becomes boring af!

A chilling and cold, if slightly overlong, supernatural horror showing how not innocent of a mind young children can have. This film is as fascinating as it is terrifying. The unsettling mood, accompanied by great score and photography, takes you through an experience from brutal and cruel to pure tenderness. How these kids discover their connection and power is so raw and subtle. Their poor understanding between good and bad gives you a never-ending feeling of unease throughout. The group of child actors in this is impeccable. It's so refreshing to see children in a film acting like real children do. Though I feel that there's quite a bit of unnecessary scenes that could have been trimmed off, it's still an investing watch nonetheless. The best way to watch it is by knowing as little as possible.

A foray into fantasy cinema that shows the ability to create moments of tension. And although the elaboration of childhood trauma as a vehicle for growth is not really new, the director makes the silences and the looks really disturbing. The portrait of child psychology as if it were a kind of superpower constructs a drama that causes uneasiness, using very simple elements, but also very effective.

Pure depravation. The Cat´s dead is authentic evil.

Stopped watching it when it resorted to animal cruelty.

This movie somehow reminded me about the manga 'Domu: A Child's Dream' by Katsuhiro Otomo. There's some resemblance, the apartment complex, the kids with psychic powers... I must say I really enjoyed it.

I'm giving this a 6 only because of the great cast. All of them nailed it, especially the autistic girl. That was brilliant acting by the kids.

Blend of psychological drama, supernatural thriller, and superhero origin story. To be fair, those descriptions don't quite do this innovative and smart film justice but if you like any of those aforementione genres, you might like this slow-burning tale if you can stick with it. The performances from the young case are phenomenal.

Like trying to get the kids to go back to bed and leave you alone... then realizing you don't have kids.

The movie is the story of a group of children who discover they have special powers when they're together, and of the one, troubled boy who decides to use this power for bad.

_The Innocents_ is the bastard child of other films that led the way (notably _Village of the Damned_ and _The Omen_) but, fortunately, has learned from their mistakes and gone on to greater heights.

Written to perfection and directed with a good deal of suspense by Eskil Vogt, _The Innocents_ goes harder than any American film with children would dare go and will leave bite marks on the viewer's memory long after the film has ended.

Intense nerv wrecking piece of gold
