Season 4: Episode 143 - NATURE VS MAN: The Children (1980) / The Children (2008)

The Children (1980)

 

The low budget horror film directed by Carlton J Albright, tells the tale of five children infected by a yellow cloud that turns them into bloodless zombies with black fingernails who microwave everything.  The film would be noted for its score written by Harry Manfredini who would score big with his Friday the 13th score.

 

The Children (2008)

The 2008 British horror film directed by Tom Shankland, opened to positive reviews in the UK and US.  The film would tell the story over the Christmas season where the children come down with a mysterious illness that causes them to kill anyone who is an adult or over the age of 16.  The film is known for its violence against the virgin snow that falls against the innocence of children.
