Beware! Children at Play

Enfants and originally styled as Beware: Children at Play) is a 1989 American independent slasher film directed by Mik Cribben and distributed by Troma Entertainment.

Ten years later, parents John and Julia along with their daughter Kara drive to visit their friends, the Carr family made up of Sheriff Ross, Cleo and their daughter Mary-Rose, in New Jersey and along the way are warned by bible salesman Franklin Ludwig about a series of disappearances in the area; when the DeWolfe family drives away, Ludwig is bisected by an unknown person with a scythe.

Julia theorizes that the words she heard the kids chanting are linked to Beowulf and discovers that ten years ago, a professor with the surname Randall went camping with his son Glenn before disappearing.

Julia finds several children in Kara's room and is killed by them; Cleo attempts to fight them off but is knocked out by Glenn (now known as Grendel).

The film is one of Troma's most controversial titles due to its gruesome finale, a sequence in which the townspeople brutally murder each of the cannibalistic children using firearms, pitchforks, and other assorted weapons.
