Devil Times Five (DVD)

Julie, her boyfriend Rick and a number of other guests have assembled at the chalet of her wealthy father, nestled deep in the snowy surroundings of Lake Arrowhead. Their laid-back boozing and petty arguments are upended by the unexpected arrival of a group of five mysterious children who claim to have become stranded after their bus broke down. Taking pity on the youngsters, the group offers to let them stay at the house until help arrives. Unbeknownst to the adults, these tots are in fact on the run from an asylum, and they waste no time in getting down to manipulating and then viciously killing their unsuspecting hosts.

A classic of drive-in horror, notorious not only for its savage violence and mean-spirited sense of humor, but as one of the greatest killer-kids films ever produced, director Sean MacGregor’s DEVIL TIMES FIVE (aka THE HORRIBLE HOUSE ON THE HILL and PEOPLETOYS) was a producing project of attorney-to-the-stars Jordan M. Wank and features an early performance from future teen idol Leif Garrett (The Outsiders) along with character actor Sorrell Booke (TV’s The Dukes of Hazzard).
