Save the Children

Children represent unlimited potential and the future of our society. In almost all cultures, it is a primary function of adults to protect and defend the younger and weaker members so that potential can someday be realized. In horror, children create even greater tension when in peril due to this ingrained protective nature. This week, Jerry and Matt look at two very diverse films that put children at extreme risk with the abstract Skinamarink and the excellent The Black Phone, both from 2022.
