A fun weekend trip goes horribly wrong in There’s Something Wrong With the Children’s trailer. Be warned: the film’s title beautifully hits its nail on its head. 

While walking around the woods for some relaxing, off-the-grid vacation time, Margaret (Alisha Wainwright), Ben (Zach Gilford), and their longtime friends Ellie (Amanda Crew) and Thomas (Carlos Santos), come across a mysterious pit nestled deep within the forest. Not long after the discovery, their kids start behaving strangely. 

While the creepiest rendition of “Ring Around the Rosie” plays in the background, the kids (played by Briella Guiza and David Mattle) terrorize their parents and their friends, one twisted playground game at a time. 

There’s Something Wrong With the Children releases on digital and On Demand on Jan. 17, 2023. A MGM+ release follows March 17, 2023.
