Since it’s time, you might be thinking of watching the latest Jenifer Lopez-starrer sci-fi action flick, Atlas. The good news for you is, this movie is not just about Lopez. Atlas is an average but entertaining action flick, with some solid actors making up the ensemble cast. Without further ado, here’s a quick guide to the characters who appear in the movie.

Jeniffer Lopez as Atlas

The international pop star isn’t done with stardom yet, and she stars as Atlas, the titular character of the movie. Most of the film is focused on Atlas, as she’s the one who is out for redemption. Being the only survivor out of all the highly trained Rangers, Atlas must make her way off Gr-39. Her only companion in this is Smith, the AI assistant of her Arc suit. Born in a house where she grew up with robots,...

Blumhouse has joined forces with Epix to “develop and produce eight elevated, standalone horror/genre-thriller movies exclusively for the network,” and up next from that collaboration is There’s Something Wrong With the Children, directed by Roxanne Benjamin (V/H/S, Southbound). The film was put up for rental on VOD and Digital outlets on Tuesday.

The cast for There’s Something Wrong With the Children...

The Blumhouse-produced There’s Something Wrong with the Children adds to a long, enduring line of evil kids in horror. Even the title suggests a classic tale of bad seeds terrorizing adults. Director Roxanne Benjamin (Body at Brighton Rock, Southbound) and screenwriters T.J. Cimfel and David White make it apparent early on that they’re more interested in using a familiar setup to explore new angles within the subgenre, subverting a few tropes in the process.

Margaret (Alisha Wainwright) and Ben (Zach Gilford) embark on a weekend cabin getaway with their good friends Ellie (Amanda Crew) and Thomas (Carlos Santos). Ellie and Thomas bring their kids, Lucy (Briella Guiza) and Spencer (David Mattle), who unwittingly derail the couples’ vacation plans. The children’s presence highlights the divide between parents and parentless, something Margaret tries to bridge by offering to watch the kids one night. They sneak away into the night,...

There’s Something Wrong with the Children is a horror film by Blumhouse directed by Roxanne Benjamin starring Zach Gilford, Amanda Crew and Alisha Wainwright.

A B-Series movie of the “friends in a log cabin” type with terrifying children… but with no corn.

Storyline

After Margaret and Ben take off on a week-end escapade with their lifelong friends, Ellie and Thomas and their two small children, something supernatural starts happening when Ellie and Thomas´s kids start behaving strangely after they disappear in the woods at night, which makes Ben suspect something weird is happening.

Movie Review

This is a movie divided into two parts, which starts slowly and which it is hard to enter in spite of its great start (those fluorescent credits and good camera movement). Then, it relaxes, offers us a presentation of the characters which is rather unsubstantial (daddies and moms a little fed-up with life) and later drops us into terror…...

Stars: Zach Gilford, Alisha Wainwright, Amanda Crew, Carlos Santos, David Mattle, Briella Guiza | Written by T.J. Cimfel, David White | Directed by Roxanne Benjamin

There’s Something Wrong with the Children opens to the bombastically ominous strains of The Sisters of Mercy’s “More” playing over tinted footage of children running and a storm rolling in. After some brief, inconsequential dialogue the film’s title flashes on the screen in bright green letters. It’s a wonderfully retro note to start things off on.

Ben and Margaret are on vacation with their friends Ellie, Thomas and their kids Spencer (David Mattle; Life & Beth) and Lucy.

A hike in the woods reveals the remains of a building not on the map, and exploring the building reveals a seemingly bottomless pit that the children insist has a light glowing in it. That should be their cue to pack the cars and go home,...

Based on the title of this review, I'm sure some readers expect me to eviscerate Blumhouse's "There's Something Wrong with the Children." It's likely those aren't the same people who had diaper discount mailers sent out to them the moment they turned 18. Targeted ads assume having children is what some of us must do -- despite our personal feelings or fiscal abilities to raise, birth, or adopt children. That's incredibly scary, as it reduces body autonomy to be a conditional term for non-parents. (Not to mention the cis-heteronormativity of it all that can trigger gender dysphoria and the deepest of sighs from those who don't want to have children or do but sadly can't in the queer community.)

Before I dive in further, I'd like to give flowers to director Roxanne Benjamin. Unequivocally, she captures how frustrating, confusing, and insulting this attitude feels through Margaret's (Alisha Wainwright) perspective. While the...

Never let your kids play in a creepy cave out in the middle of nowhere…especially one that features a bottomless pit. The parents in Blumhouse’s There’s Something Wrong with the Children – which just unveiled an official trailer – apparently didn’t get that memo.

The Plot:

When Margaret (Wainwright) and Ben (Gilford...

A cabin in the woods, a struggling marriage, and two giggling children who are ominously covered in blood? The upcoming Blumhouse and Epix collaboration has all the elements for disaster, so it's no wonder that it slots firmly into the horror/psychological thriller genres. It certainly doesn't help that the title alludes to one of horror's most reliable sources of dread, "There's Something Wrong with the Children."

Before supernatural horror even becomes a factor in the plot this film already has one of the most horrifying premises imaginable. When two couples head into the woods for a weekend getaway, one duo convinces the other to watch their children for the night while they take time to hash out some martial issues. Isn't the thought of unanticipated babysitting responsibilities terrifying?! Unfortunately, it only gets worse from here. Somehow, the babysitting couple loses sight of the children in the woods and when they're finally retrieved,...

"When we woke up they were gone!" Paramount + MGM have revealed an official trailer for a freaky horror indie film titled There's Something Wrong with the Children, the latest from indie genre filmmaker Roxanne Benjamin. It's another Blumhouse production, too. This is debuting directly on VOD in January in just a few more weeks from now. A family takes a weekend trip with longtime friends and their two young children, but, they suspect something supernatural when the kids behave strangely after disappearing into the woods overnight. What's going on with these creepy kids? And why are there so many evil kid movies recently? The film stars Alisha Wainwright, Zach Gilford, Amanda Crew, Carlos Santos, Briella Guiza, and David Mattle. This looks like it gets pretty scary with these kids - are they possessed or what? That red outfit one of them is wearing is the perfect costume choice to make it extra unsettling.
