A sharp little horror movie.

“Amelia’s Children” is still poised and grotesque enough to be charming, even when it doesn’t seem to be messing with audiences at all.

Rated: 3/4

Worn down and familiar as some of this kooky genre exercise can be, it ultimately confirms that Abrantes has what it takes to make the movies feel young again.

Rated: B-

Culture Mix

Amelia's Children is a tedious horror movie with mostly wooden acting in a story that has more insipid moping than any real scares. The characters react to twisted family secrets in ways that are hard to believe. The movie's ending is atrocious.

Screen Rant

Amelia's Children is a Portuguese horror movie that fails to elevate its generic premise into a compelling story despite a largely capable cast.

Rated: 2.5/5

Abrantes allows this absurd but utterly familiar horror story to coast on unrealized potential.

I have questions. Putting the incest aside, let's look at the missing picture here..how did Amelia become youthful again? Did she eat the former father or did she have twins again and devoured the one that was unable to have children? How did she know which one was in unable to have children, she did keep manual around which means that she had to raise him first before sleeping with him to be sure... I'ma need some answers

Just another insignificant horror/mystery entry you can rent for a few dollars. It is not a worthy diversion of your time.

Ed is searching for his bio family - but his trip to Portugal lands him at a strange house with a strange mom that has way too much surgery done. The plot is interesting with a family that never dies.
