I HATE CHUUU

While Eden Lake was certainly an effective film, I take exception that people include it on a list of "evil kids" movies. For me, a kid stops being a kid the second they have the slightest chance of kicking my ass in a fight. The "kids" in Eden Lake looked high school age, and I wouldn't want to mess with a couple of them.

Anyway...

The Bad Seed (1956)
The Children (2008)
Home Movie (2008/II)
¿Quién puede matar a un niño?
Village of the Damned (1960)
The "It's a Good Life" episode of The Twilight Zone (series or movie. both great)
The Omen (1976)
The Innocents (1961)
Orphan (2009)
Noroi

And while The Exorcist is my favorite horror film, the only one I have rated 10/10, I don't consider it an "evil kid" film.

I would add Mean Creek to the list

Hmm. Haven't seen it but it looks interesting, thanks!

And I need to add The Bad Seed, which I reacquainted myself with last month, and it is amazing.

Add Case 39 and The Devil's Child to the list pretty good for evil kid movies.

It's not a classic horror film exactly but the best by far -- especially as it meditates on REAL historical events -- is the German film The White Ribbon. Sorry but it makes films like this one look like stupid screenwriting games played by screenwriters in their 20s. The White Ribbon asks real-world philosophosical questions (and the kids do some very nasty things) about how a particular generation can turn out a certain way.
