Curated Evil Children Horror Movies

Evil children horror casts kids, the people audiences most want to protect, as the threat, whether through possession, a monstrous birth or simple cruelty. Children are supposed to be innocent. That's exactly what makes them so effective when they're not. Curated evil children horror weaponizes that discomfort, films where the threat is small, familiar, and completely wrong. The uncanny valley has a younger demographic than most people expect.
