"Provoke your children not to wrath." Ephesians 6:4 so says the trailer to the movie.

There is nothing more terrifying than childhood is not innocent, and that children are evil.

With that premise in mind, on a Sunday in Gatlin, NE after church services, the children of the town murder all their parents by poisoning and slashing them to death.

Three years later a couple, Burt and Vicky, have a car accident and walk to town, only to find there are no adults there.

A 9-year old child named Isaac, has created a cult religion to an evil being called, "He Who Walks Behind the Rows." This entity insists that all "outlanders,” strangers, those who don't honor the entity, and adults be killed. The boy's henchman is Malachi.

As expected the couple is chased repeatedly until the final confrontation.

This is another movie based on a Stephen King short story, and is another classic horror movie film from the 80s.

If you like Stephen King's work, then you'll enjoy this.

What I enjoyed most was the suspense, and the psychological tension of this type of horror movie.

Like many film adaptations of books, especially in Stephen King's case, the books are better. This short story can be found in the book "Night Shift."

Sigh with relief. Lots of tension.

I recommend this DVD because I enjoyed the Psychological tension and the suspense.
