“You brought them into this world. Now ... They will take you out.”

The premise
A relaxing Christmas vacation turns into a terrifying fight for survival as the children begin to turn on their parents.
Horror Vault's take
What begins as a cosy Christmas getaway for two families quickly descends into something deeply wrong when the youngest members of the group start behaving in disturbing, dangerous ways. Parents are forced into an unthinkable position — protecting themselves while refusing to believe what their own children have become. Director Tom Shankland builds suffocating dread through a wintry rural setting and an ever-tightening grip of paranoia. This is holiday horror stripped of all comfort and warmth.
