A really bad habit that horror movie makers have picked up in the past few years is trying to make small children scary.
The Ring.
The Grudge.
The Omen.
Hell, even the narator for the tv spots for "Lady in the Water" was some whispering kid.

NOT SCARY.  Just REEELY annoying. And this isn't a new concept. Look at that scene in "The Shinning". 2 little girls holding hands saying "come play with us" isn't even MILDLY unsettling.

 I miss the good ol' days when people thought super natural monsters and other beasts were scary and made movies out of those.

Little kids work for less money than stuntment in monster suits.  (At least, in their debut movies.)

I thought Samara was scary in "The Ring" because she was ... something ... but not really a little girl.

I found the twins from "The Shinning" VERY disturbing.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Really, the "ominous child" has been with us for quite some time --
You get waves & ripples -- after "The Exorcist" debuted in 1973, there were a plethora of imitations & "scary kid" movies to follow --
See "The Innocents", 1962, for a really really GOOD "ominous child" film.

There needs be more awesome creature and mutated freak movies, slimy ones without any CGI. Stupid CGI pale skinned kids, they should get shot in every movie from now on.

Really scary kids? Try Village of The Damned aka Children Of The Damned ~ the 1960's version, b.t.w.

I like John Carpenter's version as well. I really can't understand why it is so reviled.

Children are scary. To adults, and other kids.
Because they are animals.
And the attitudes of children are varied. Its the preditory one we fear.
That, and the idea that something smaller and weaker then us, can harm us. Yet, a snake is small compared to a man, but who wants to be bitten by a black Mamba?
No, not a black mamma! Lets leave Martin Lawrence out of this!

I thought that the direction was fine, but that movie was woefully miscast IMO.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
