The idea was quite interesting and could have been made into a reasonable and creepy little movie. Sadly, that was not to be. The agoraphobic Tommy was painful to watch, like a scared rabbit caught in the headlights for the entire movie. You really wanted him to get a good kicking, he deserved it. The priest was not bad, a little OTT but likable, unklike Tommy, who became more loathsome as the movie progressed. The whingeing baby was also a bit of a spoiler too, there were quite a few times in the movie that I hoped the "Demon" children would have simply eaten her and been done.
Probably the most realistic and frightening part of the entire movie was the "Demon" children. These were obviously not actors, but real children from the West End of Newcastle, everything about them was authentic Scotswood/Benwell/Cruddas Park. Amazing how the film makers managed to train them to turn up for work each day. Their clothes and behaviour were a perfect example of the youth from the North East of England - fantastic casting! Well done to the make up department too! You managed to almost make them look a little more human than they appear in real life as they scurry through the alleys and back lanes of West Denton.
