Ernest I had no idea that it was a foreign film with subtitles. After a few minutes I got used to reading the dialog. The Horror genre of the fim sneaks up onyou, well done. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/22 Full Review Audience Member It's a slow burner with almost no action, no screamers, but also no facepalm moments, no clichéd dialogue, and plot twists that aren't the most obvious. The actors are all unknown, and the faces and sets are fresh. Well, yes, this is a story about the paradox of childhood cruelty, and the main villain plays the role of a classic psychopath. They're often born that way, in case you didn't know. It's simply because of the peculiarities of children's psychology that they're rarely diagnosed with this. Many children behave strangely and can be cruel even without psychopathic tendencies. This film isn't the most vivid or profound, but it's still an entertaining insight into the world of children, where things aren't as rosy as they're commonly believed. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review Elmer J The Innocents is provocative and quietly disturbing. Though slow-paced, it builds a chilling atmosphere that lingers. The child actors deliver powerful performances, but the lack of backstory on their powers leaves some narrative gaps that could have added depth to the story. The haunting score captures the film’s sense of unease and quiet despair. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Diet Dr. Paul . The Innocents (2021) is eerie to its core—the very definition of atmospheric horror. It’s a slow burn in the best way possible, and one of the rawest, most unsettling film experiences I’ve ever had. Disturbing visuals, deeply dark themes, and an unnerving stillness that gets under your skin—and somehow, it pulls all of this off with a cast of kids. A bold, brutal little gem…. But seriously—did they really have to do that to the cat? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Audience Member Lol 97% oh jesus, this site really is the worst review site ever, I'm baffled there even allowed to make diabolical stuff like this & u have nutters on here giving it an almost perfect film lol,, the planets getting messed up enough last thing we need is psychosis like this on film, and I like some horrors but this, putting glass in a disabled girls shoe, and stamping on cat, psychotic writer was all I was thinking, no need 4 it, hopefully the writer & director have kids like this and do something really bad to them 😀 Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Brigitte D I personally wouldn’t recommend this film… regardless of artistic license for a horror movie, which it is… if you like cats, do not watch this, completely disgusting and unnecessary! Btw… I stopped watching it as soon as I saw what might happen the cat… having read the plot later, I’m glad I turned this horrible film off!
