Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
HumanoidOfFlesh I saw this low-budget regional horror flick for the first time in September 2010.The plot of "The Wednesday Children" centers around eleven year old blonde boy Scott Miller(Tom Kelly).The boy feels alienated and unloved because his parents are uncaring.His father is more interested in his job and his collection of plane models;his hysterical mother enjoys her wig too much.It's up to eccentric Mister Fenton(Al Miskell)to save Scott and the group of local children from their self-absorbed parents.The film was shot in Wadsworth,Ohio and directed by Robert D.West,who was local Wadsworth preacher.It plays like Christian version of "Children of the Corn",so it obviously lacks nudity,gore and profanity.Still it's a charming and very pleasant horror drama.6 disappearing parents out of 10.
