Movie Info
Sort of a triple-threat Bad Seed with a more overtly violent streak, this film tells the tale of trio of cherubic youngsters whose births all coincided with a solar eclipse, which somehow initiated a kind of time-release evil reaction that reaches its climax on the kids' tenth birthday, causing them to transform into miniature homicidal psychopaths. These darling little tykes then proceed to beat dad's brains out with a baseball bat, gun down their teacher, and otherwise beat, stab and strangle

Doesn't concoct an elaborate back story or history of family dysfunction to justify or motivate the kiddie killing spree that is its reason for being. The three bad seeds here were simply born under a bad sign, as Albert King might have said.
A time-waster tasteless horror flick, with no redeeming social values.
What the film lacks in story it makes up for with a high body count and plenty of gratuitous sex.
Dull and gore-free slasher-wannabe which could have been great but falls flat
