Great point! I'd not thought of it like that but you're dead on. I saw it when it came out so would've been about 13 and
absolutely identified with the kids, and remember being pretty scared by the whole thing. Watching it again, now, I suppose my empathy
did switch from the kids to the two adults but overall the film seemed far less effective from and adult point of view.
