THE CHILDREN 1980 (TROMA)
This lost little gem is about school children on a bus that drives thru a radioactive cloud and become zombies with black fingernails who burn their victims to death.
The parents are usually presented as people who don't really even like their children and the killings are gruesome but well done. This film was actually one of the top grossing money makers of it's time upon release.
I like this film a lot and have seen it many times. It's odd to see singer Gale Garnett as the women who survives the ordeal only to give birth to her baby after all the slaughter is over.
Very entertaining horror film should please a lot of horror fans.
