These Killer Kids are Crazy

The Daisy Chain was shot in the County Mayo of Ireland and the film involves a seemingly demonic possessed girl, who delights in torturing her new adoptive parents. When are little kids ever scary i.e. Orphan? This time the killer kids get an Irish twist, but the early trailer shows some pacing issues that have been described by a review at Bloody-Disgusting as involving a: "slow start, the film moves on to a slow mid-section and sort-of culminates in a slow finale" (Bloody). The film sounds like it would be best viewed on a lazy Sunday morning, with a full dose of patience in stock. Check out the synopsis, movie trailer and other details below (available April 13).

The synopsis for The Daisy Chain courtesy of Quiet Earth:

"Martha, an emotionally fragile mother, who moves to a remote Irish village with her husband Tomas following the tragic death of their baby daughter. Whilst there, the couple decide to take in a disturbed and orphaned autistic girl called Daisy. Uncommunicative and greatly scarred by the violent death of her parents, Daisy gradually warms to her new surroundings. But, as a series of strange occurrences begin to be linked to the little girl, Martha and Tomas begin to hear rumors from the locals that Daisy might be something far more malevolent than she seems (Quiet)."
