Peep the trailer for Antonio Chavarrias’ Spanish chiller Childish Games

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Back in October, we gave y’all a heads up regarding Filmax’s new movie CHILDISH GAMES. You know, Antonio Chavarrias’ film about a gaggle of creepy kids. Yup yup, that one.

Well folks, an English subbed trailer for the film we have for you below. After taking a look, I’m inclined to say the film has shades of DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK and THE CHILDREN. Hopefully the flick has more in common with the latter, know what I’m saying!

With Juan Diego Botto, Barbara Lennie (below), Nora Navas, Agata Roca, Magica Perez and Marc Rodriguez all appearing:

Daniel receives an unexpected, and unwanted, visit from a friend who he hasn’t seen since his childhood. His friend is obsessed with his daughter and insists that Daniel has to meet her. Daniel does his best to get rid of him and tries to forget the incident. That same night his friend commits suicide.

Laura, Daniel’s wife, suggests they go to his friend’s funeral. There they meet his daughter, a little girl, barely seven years old, who since the death of her father has been taken into foster care. Laura convinces all parties that the best thing is for the little girl to go and stay with them.

But the little girl’s presence in the house starts to have an adverse effect on the couple when fears and memories which Daniel thought he had long since buried start to come creeping back inside his head. The same obsessions and fears that took the life of his friend start to take control of Daniel. A growing sense of isolation engulfs Daniel in the house, which until the arrival of the little girl, he had thought belonged to him.

CHILDISH GAMES hits Spain March 9th. Stay tuned for a U.S. release date.
