The Children(1980)

A school bus drives through a cloud of yellow smoke after an accident at a nuclear power plant. and turns all the children into zombies who melt people after they touch them. and it is up to the local sheriff and his dopey deputy to stop them.

A rather silly but still entertaining film about creepy kids, that i first saw on VHS in the 1980's under the title The Children of Ravensback.
and with poor special effects and bad acting in the typical Troma style.
But the dispatch of the children is still quite controversial and effective as theyre pumped full of bullets and get chopped up with samurai swords. and is always more powerful when children are the victims and not adults.

Definitely worth a look, despite all the strange characters, including a couple of sex mad rednecks.

oh, and an interesting soundtrack as well that is a complete rip off out of Friday 13th. 69 out of 100.
