If you recognize the type of families this festival is primarily catering for you might also enjoy this recent appallingly bad low budget British Horror movie... "The Children" [2008]Director: Tom Shankland "Wonderful Stuff. Horrid smug Middle class parents get killed by and kill their own children, what could be better? Who could not enjoy this? Two new-agey British middle class families with annoying accents retire to large-ish house (by British standards) in countryside for festive season - their kids pick up some viral infection and turn against them – like tiny, albeit unthreatening, zombies. Forget about the comic idea of kids killing their smug yuppie parents. The movie wasn't played for laughs. A group of painfully upper middle class morons go to a deserted location in the woods, split up and get picked off by a group of murderous monsters. It was shot well and well acted; I truly despised the smug, self satisfied, middle class tossers the actors portrayed... Perhaps the thought of your precious little darlings turning on you may have some home counties yummie mommies and doting dads feeling uncomfortable .. ..the adults were annoying.."
