Children of Satan is a rather unsettling take on childhood innocence corrupted by fear and paranoia. The film unfolds in this isolated Christian summer camp, where two little girls' minds spiral as they encounter the peculiar Erna. The atmosphere is thick with dread, enhanced by the girls' rigid beliefs and the camp's rigid structure. The performances of the young actors feel raw and genuine, which adds to the overall discomfort. Those strange moments, punctuated by practical effects that evoke a visceral reaction, really highlight the horror of childhood fears manifesting into something sinister. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing tension to build slowly as the girls' imaginations run wild, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease.
