Synopsis:
In financial trouble following the recent death of her husband, Karen Tunny (Heuring) and her two children, teenage Sarah (Taylor-Compton) and younger daughter Emma (Moretz), are forced to relocate to a remote mountain home in the woods of Addytown, Pennsylvania, which Karen has inherited from her husband's family. The Tunny's soon learn of the locals' reluctance to go anywhere near the woods after dark. Legend has it that for almost a hundred years, child zombies have been roaming the woods at night, seeking the flesh of the living. The story is believed to stem from an incident in 1913, when many child labourers were buried alive during the collapse of the nearby Carlton mine in which they were working. It is said that following the disaster, the children rose as the undead to avenge themselves against the families and descendents of those responsible for their deaths. Karen and Sarah are naturally sceptical, but when young Emma begins to insist that her latest 'imaginary' friend Mary is real, they suspect there could be a bizarre element of truth to the legend. The horrifying reality of the situation is finally revealed to Sarah when she and three of her friends are attacked in the woods and the Tunny's eventually find themselves under siege by a horde of zombie children.
