Young Glenn and his father have gone into the woods for a fun-filled camping adventure. But when dad steps into a bear trap, the pair find themselves stranded miles from civilization, with limited supplies and nothing to eat. After his dad dies, Glenn, as a matter of survival, is forced to consume his flesh. Years later, children from a nearby town begin to disappear into the woods, never to be seen again, while adults are murdered in the most savage of fashions. Could not-so-young-anymore Glenn have something to do with all the mayhem?
Shamelessly trashy and a whole lot of fun, prolific cinematographer Mik Cribben’s (The Defiance of Good) sole directorial effort, BEWARE: CHILDREN AT PLAY, is a no holds barred assault on good taste, with a plethora of ultra gory and creative deaths and one of the most ridiculous endings in the history of horror cinema. Another victim of decades of poor quality VHS copies, Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to offer the world Blu-ray debut of BEWARE: CHILDREN AT PLAY, newly restored from its 35mm original camera negative.

"The premise is completely wild, and the film has that unmistakable low-budget ’80s horror charm. This edition is a nice upgrade, especially with the special features, including interviews that add some interesting background on the making of the film. A fun release for fans of obscure horror."
"A classic vhs rental. . . and thebyellow warning sign became a symbol of horror film rentals. Excellent no budget video nasty from a better time. Another beautiful VS presentation."
"A completely unhinged little piece of trash. The acting is rough and the plot is ridiculous, but that ending is so insane it almost makes the whole thing worthwhile."
"This is one of those horror movies that it's legend surpasses it's viewership. I've been trying to watch or to buy this film for a while and thank god Vinegar Syndrome delivered. This movie was nuts. I know they show a lot of fake harm happening to kids but it looks like such fun. I know that if I was asked if I wanted to be shot in a movie when I was a kid I would have lept at the oppertunity and had a blast."
"Need I say more with Troma. I’ve made this mistake with other Troma releases that VS has put out and that’s buying them. Besides the toxic avenger series, I can’t stand most of their other movies. As with other Troma movies you do get gore so if you are a gore hound I might recommend this. Troma is the definition of a cult studio and I just can’t get on board. Make mine full moon any day. At least the pre 2000’s stuff. All in all an F- ."
"A highly politically incorrect movie. You'll either love it or hate it. I fall somewhere in between. It's superbly packaged."
"Watched this on the Troma Streaming service and loved this absolutely batshit insane movie about cannibal kids killing adults. Def worth watching. The packaging is solid, and the Slipcover is amazing quality and the artwork is gorgeous. Absolutely in love with VS's packaging!"
"This was a fun little low-budget horror flick. Always fun when there's murderous children at play."
"Over the top is the first thing I'm going to say about Beware! Watch this one carefully, but if you like crazy and heavy flicks like I do, you'll have a great time!!!"
"Seeing that ending in hi def is the best reason to get this movie."
