The opening scene in the cafe was impressive, if only for the rare sight of a bunch of kids poisoning and slicing up all the adults in the place - with no apparent motive at this stage. This was well shot, not actually showing any penetrating wounds by sythe or sickle but suggesting a bloodbath nontheless.
Indeed, some of the kids themselves took on a rather sinister appearance - particularly Isaac and Malachi.
The film conjures up some rather blasphemous imagery too, and there is a nicely apprehensive eerie atmosphere surrounding the whole thing.
Some of the deaths in the sequels were fun, but the films themselves were mostly forgettable.
