In Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, an above average slasher/horror film, a group of amateurs decide to experiment with witchcraft with deadly results.

Like watching a George Romero rip-off, directed by Ed Wood, with a script scribbled by Joe Orton while he was ripped to the tits on poppers.
Clark accordingly avails himself of the best abysmal wisecracks, offhand surrealism, and decomposing mise-en-scène available
On a technical level, at least, it's great fun.
Clever title, insufferable movie!
Clark's first film is memorable only for its catchy title.
One of the best horror movies of the 70's!
Truly weird, sometimes effective horror cheapie.
Pretty bad, but not even close to Bob Clark's worst. This guy directed both "Baby Geniuses," don't forget.
...connoisseurs of camp will love it. Especially that title. (35th Anniversary Exhumed Edition)
On any absolute scale of movie ratings, it should score pretty low. However, there is no accounting for the amount of fun one can have with it.
**+Better than what the first five minutes would lead you to believe, if you can get past the annoyingness of some of the characters.
