Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and horror fans. If you loved Carrie or 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Scary and gory.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
Rated R: meant for adults.

A psychopathic twelve-year-old girl in a small town in Nebraska recruits all the other children and goes on a bloody rampage, killing the corrupt adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won't go along with the plan is the town's only hope of survival.
