The adults suck in this film
No one really connects with the kid except for the cop with the dying wife, and he only used the kid to electrify her coma. Why bother having like 5 of them?
I mean, not that it has anything to do with Victor Salva writing and directing the movie, but they're unsympathetic.
No, sir, kids can't make their own decisions to have sex with adults, even if they look 30.
