The Children (2008)
Dir: Tom Shankland

A Christmas vacation turns deadly when the children begin to turn on their parents.
A creepy, well executed chiller with an interesting premise. It takes its time to set up the situation, but after the first death the movie really starts ratcheting up the tension. The acting is decent and though the explanation of what's happening is kept a mystery, the film is actually better for it.
