Every now and then comes a horror film where you can not predict what will happen. There is Something Wrong with The Children is a film that sets offs with two couples (one with kids and one without) that are having a lovely weekend together -- as we get to know the couples, we begin to see issues that happen when you are in long-term relationships. However, overall they are getting through it. So as we weed through some awkward moments, for the most part, things seem fine. However, one exploration trip around the property affects the children in a way that changes the entire tone of the film. We spoke with Carlos Santos (Thomas), who is married to Ellie (Amanda Crew), and Alisha Wainwright (Margaret), who is married to Ben (Zach Gilford). Carlos said he had so much fun on set playing in the blood, bonding with his cast mates, and having one of the most significant moments in the film (that will have you yell out loud). Meanwhile, Alisha said it's a lot emotional and that her character is really trying to ensure the weekend goes well for everyone but when the horror begins, she said certain things helped her tap into high levels of emotions. Alisha also added she too felt the same thing Carlos felt on set -- connection. She said the reason she thinks the chemistry comes off so well is because there was such a sense of friendship with everyone involved in the film. She goes on to discuss what it was like when things shifted and how she handled working with the younger actors.
