Twenty-one years after the birth of seven siblings, Professor Keller (Kenneth Herdigein) is summoned by a government agency to give support to the treatment of the seven men that became killers since they were seven years old. Professor Keller finds a connection with an ancient Indian cult to bring evil to destroy Earth. Meanwhile the photographer Victoria Lucas (Monique van de Ven) is invited to take pictures in an isolated place and she travels with her fourteen-year-old daughter Emalee Lucas (Esmée de la Bretonière), who is under psychological treatment due to gruesome nightmares she has, and they camp nearby the facility where the seven brothers are. Out of the blue, the seven brothers escape and hunt Emalee. What is the connection among them?
I saw "De Johnsons" on 05 September 1998 and I liked this Dutch horror movie. Yesterday I decided to see this old VHS again and I found a film with great potential if a higher budget and better conclusion were available. Vader Keller, for example, is the awful father of Professor Keller and a silly unfunny character. The destruction of rare footages and notes is ridiculous. The idea of an incest to bring evil on Earth is magnificent; but the stupid conclusion with explosion is terrible. The photographer Victoria Lucas lives in a building apparently alone since there is no movements of neighbors or people on the street. But the story is dark and the main idea is interesting. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Os Filhos da Morte" ("The Sons of the Dearh")
