The creepy kid movie There’s Something Wrong with the Children is part of an eight movie deal that was made between Blumhouse and Epix (which is soon to be renamed MGM+), and now – thanks to the folks at Rue Morgue – we know when we’re going to have the chance to see it. Paramount Home Entertainment will be giving There’s Something Wrong with the Children a VOD and digital release on January 17th. It will then make its way over to MGM+ two months later, on March 17th.
Directed by Roxanne Benjamin (Body at Brighton Rock) from a screenplay written by T.J. Cimfel and David White (the 2015 home invasion movie Intruders), There’s Something Wrong with the Children has the following synopsis: Margaret and Ben take a weekend trip with longtime friends Ellie and Thomas and their two young children. Eventually, Ben begins to suspect something supernatural is occurring when the kids behave strangely after disappearing into the woods overnight.
The film stars Alisha Wainwright (Raising Dion) and Zach Gilford (Midnight Mass) as Margaret and Ben, Amanda Crew (Final Destination 3) and Carlos Santos (Gentefied) as Ellie and Thomas, plus Briella Guiza (Ambulance) and David Mattle (Life & Beth) as the two kids.
Blumhouse Television’s Jason Blum, Chris McCumber, and Jeremy Gold executive produced alongside Josh Reinhold.
Other films that have been released through the Blumhouse / Epix (MGM+) deal are The Deep House, A House on the Bayou, American Refugee, Torn Hearts, Unhuman, and The Visitor.
Are you looking forward to There’s Something Wrong with the Children? Let us know by leaving a comment below. I watched all of the Into the Dark movies that Blumhouse made for Hulu and all of the Welcome to the Blumhouse movies they made for Amazon, so I might as well keep the streak going and watch all of their Epix / MGM+ movies.
