** John should have thought better about bringing his family--including his own children--to a small town with an ''active child abduction problem''.
** There's also numerous moments of mothers letting their children play outside unattended in the film, just waiting to be kidnapped.

If there's at least one thing you know about this movie, it's probably its notorious ending, a graphic finale where all of the children are graphically killed off on-screen. Horror films about evil children are very common, but even the most graphic films of that type avoid showing their deaths. According to Troma founder Lloyd Kaufman, when this movie's trailer was played before a Cannes screening of ''Film/TromeoAndJuliet'', nearly half the theater left in disgust. Along with that, unlike most of the company's other films, this one is a relatively serious affair that doesn't have a lot of comedic moments in it. As such, it remains one of the most divisive titles in Troma's catalog.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Troma films are usually (darkly) comedic, but this movie is pretty serious compared to their usual titles.
