Peopletoys (1974)
5/10
These Seem Like Such Nice Kids
23 May 2011
Peopletoys finds a bunch of kids who escape from a van transporting them to the kiddie funny farm trekking through the winter snow until they reach a resort that was one time a mental asylum. This seems like a perfect opportunity for these apparently normal kids to start their careers as serial killers.

Among the kids here are Dawn Lyn late of My Three Sons and her brother future teen bubble gum idol Leif Garrett. When you look as androgynous as Garrett it's kind of hard to believe you've got a sociopathic turn of mind. Nevertheless it happens and such folks as Sorrell Booke, Henry Beckmann, Taylor Lacher etc., all fall victim to some fiendishly clever methods of murder.

Peopletoys is your average horror flick with the engendered paranoia brought on by the fact that these angelic looking urchins could not be future Ted Bundys in the making. Those who like these type of films might find this one interesting.
