Review: The Black-Eyed Children (2025)
By William Pattison
For Horror Bob’s Blog…
This time I got a found footage film featuring the infamous Black-Eyed
Children…
A young woman takes a job at an autumn camp in the woods,
only to arrive to find that all the children have mysteriously disappeared. But
as night falls, much to her dismay, some of them return.
This was a really creepy shoestring budget found footage
film. I loved the location they chose for this film, it was very atmospheric.
Besides that it is pretty much a small cast film with the most work being done
by the female lead. In a lot of the other reviews on this film people made a
big deal about the lady’s accent. I had no issues with it. I could understand
her perfectly. As for the rest of the cast, decided Bill Oberst Jr who did an
amazing job given he did it all via a webcam. Bill does a long and elliquent
monologue halfway through the film. Good stuff Bill!
As for the title characters,
due to the budget they could only affort three black eyed children (all girls)
when the story said there were seventeen missing kids. Still those kids were
creepy as shit. I wish they had done the paranormal version of black eyed kids
rather than the UFO version. It would have worked far better with the incredibly
creepy location.
All in all it was very entertaining. I’ll recommend it if
you are really into found footage.
