Damned Brood

The Children- is a excellent film. It reminded me so much of both "Village of the Damned" and "The Brood". Its a mix of those two movies and its excellent.

The plot: Two families gather at an upscale English estate in late December. Elaine (Eva Birthistle) and her sister, Chloe (Rachel Shelley), along with their husbands and children, are set for a weekend of family bonding and winter fun. But when they arrive, one of the children becomes sick, and all of the children exhibit strange behavior. The adults don't realize the disturbing truth until it's too late: The children have contracted a disease that has turned them into brutal, psychotic killers.

Its violent, gory, horrorfying, terrorfying, scay and overall excellent.

The......Goonies???

Contains spoilers, click to show

In a very Goonies style plot., light bulbs are lit in this heartfelt story about family and friendship.
Having basically recreated the main characters from the classic Goonies movie and reduced the number to 4 and exact key points used, it doesn't devalue it's predecessor but in fact shows homage to it in cheerful nods, colourful acting, and an understanding of what family means.

Finding ohana is a warm hearted family adventure I welcome with open arms.

Plot-
Finding Ohana is atory about family, set in Oahu, two city-raised siblings embark on an adventure after obtaining a journal pointing to long-lost treasure with new friends and pirate treasure leads them to reconnect with their Hawaiian heritage and save their families Home.

Based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, Only The Brave is the heroic story of one unit of local firefighters that through hope, determination, sacrifice, and the drive to protect families, communities, and our country become one of the most elite firefighting teams in the country.

My normal selection of films doesn't generally include "based on a true story" tales, but this year has really seen to that. I probably wouldn't have seen this one if it hadn't been for the fact it coincided with the next Unlimited Screening. So thank god for that.

I really wish I'd read up about the background story before I went... I was not ready for that ending. It was all I could do to not sob out loud in my seat. Heartbreaking
