Totally ghastly and hideous. Unknowing kids lured with candy reminds me of  Hansel and Gretel when they were lured by the witch. This  takes on a similar route and children's souls  become the meals.  But I would have to give credit to the writer for such a repugnant yet  outworldly idea.  Beyond the film's  horrific scenes lies the message that children, in all their innocence and vulnerability can become victims of negative forces that will take advantage of their trust.
