Well well well, a straight to video with lets say, some really well known names in the UK like Nick Brimble. But somehow this low budget fails to deliver us evil. The acting is okay but the script fails to make it creepy or atrocious. I was never scared watching it, you can see the killings done by Dylan, the devil's child, coming from take one. As a child he almost kills a child, later on he kills others but it just don't work. It's a pity because they could have made more out of it, there is no gore or bloody scene's, almost no effects, it's done in an off screen way. You see it coming, the they cut away, and blood splatters all around. But what takes the movie down is the way they made it, a complete rip off of The Omen. And to get it worser, when they have a birthday party for Dylan they have to be masked and guess what, nudity just like in Eyes Wide Shut. And we can go on, something to watch on a Sunday afternoon with some scones and afternoon tea....
