"Cub" Trailer Signals the Return of the Spooky Child

Horror movies have loved using children as a source of creepiness for ages, from Damien in The Omen (1976) to the cat boy with a mouth full of darkness inThe Grudge. In fact, the rash American remakes of Japanese and Korean horror films of the mid-aughts seemed to play this trope out. In their relative absence in the recent past, some may have wondered what the next incarnation of the horrifying child might be. Well, the trailer for the Belgian film Cub is here to present the thesis that Flemish-singing Belgian boys are far worse than mute and pale cat-boys.

Aside from the creepy campfire song that continues throughout the trailer, we get lots of glimpses at things going bump (and stab) in the night. Those who are sensitive to horror movies that involve children may want to steer clear of this one.
