SYNOPSIS: A string of serial killings among the children of Mexico City is sending shivers through the community.  Reminiscent of Man of Fire - told from the children's perspective -  a child is in the greatest danger while returning home from school.  In one public school a young boy befriends a classmate who holds the key to solving the murders.  A critically acclaimed suspense thriller from one of Mexico's most talked about directors.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  Lalo (Francisco Rey) is a friendly boy who doesn't let an urban legend about Miguel, the loner, freak him out.  Miguel (Rogelio Castillo) lost his parents last summer, and Lalo's brother was killed very recently.  Lalo thinks the two have a lot in common so he approaches the strange boy at school one day to be friends.  The friendship blossoms quickly, until Miguel shares his secret. 

An eerie and graphic film from the director who brought you Sin Destino (Leopoldo Laborde).  We don't offer very many horror films here (and this is DEFINITELY a horror film) because not many directors make violently graphic films where children are the main actors.  Juego de niños is a suspenseful, but sometimes predictable flick with a gritty undertone common with many Laborde films.  A little creepy at times you can compare this to The Good Son vs The Boy Who Cried Bitch.  If you aren't a fan of blood and gore, steer clear.  If you enjoy the weird, spooky and chilling, but a little unpleasant to watch sometimes, then this is for you (and we won't hold it against you)!
