* {{Tearjerker}}: During the finale, one of the children runs to his mother for protection, having seemingly regained his sanity. As he screams "mama!" and runs into his mother's arms, the two are gunned down.

* WhatAnIdiot: Glenn's father never bothers calling for help or having Glenn find someone when he's caught in the bear trap.
** 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.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: There's a part in the movie where Cleo is restrained by Ross (who is her uncle), and for whatever reason, she gets aroused and [[{{Squick}} asks him to touch her]]. He doesn't, and this moment is never alluded to again.
* {{Narm}}: Not a whole lot, which is surprising given the poor acting in the film and [[Creator/{{Troma}} who distributes it]], but there are some moments.

go past that nor are they mentioned agian.
* ItWasHisSled: The film is generally only known for its 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.

** When Cleo gets turned on out of nowhere, and asks her ''uncle'' if he can touch her. Her actress seems almost as baffled as the audience would be at that moment.

** The effects in the infamous finale range from "somewhat convincing" to "very fake". The children take a bit to drop to the ground moments after being shot or hit, and you can see a number of their corpses still breathing.

* NightmareFuel: The finale, {{Special Effect Failure}}s aside, is pretty chilling, mainly because you're watching children get graphically killed for nearly 5 minutes.
** The film's idea is unsettling, even if its execution doesn't do it justice. Imagine if you had a child, and you happened to be living in the film's town. One little mistake and, at best, your child could be kidnapped, or at worst, they could be brainwashed to become a cannibal...
