Peopletoys (also known as Devil Times Five and The Horrible House on the Hill, as well as Tantrums in the United Kingdom) is a 1974 American horror film directed by Sean MacGregor and an uncredited David Sheldon. The movie stars Sorrell Booke, Gene Evans, Shelley Morrison, and Leif Garrett, along with Leif's real-life sister Dawn Lyn and their real-life mother Carolyn Stellar. The film follows a group of sociopathic, homicidal children who survive a car accident in the mountains; the murderous fivesome seek refuge in a rural chalet inhabited by several vacationing adults.

Plot

Five children escape the wreckage of a van in a snowy canyon; the van, whose driver has been killed in the crash, was en route to a local mental institution for criminally insane youngsters. The juvenile survivors, while shaken up, are not badly injured, and seek shelter at the secluded mountaintop winter home of a rich businessman (Evans) and his two colleagues (Booke and Morrison). The adults take in the quintet of twisted youths, oblivious to the kids' dark secret, until an electrical blackout renders the telephones inoperable. An insidious game of cat and mouse ensues, with bizarre mishaps claiming the lives of one grownup after another. More and more adults meet with shocking and gruesome deaths. A handful of survivors finally suspect their prepubescent houseguests of being demented and violent murderers, but the latter prove too resourceful and cunning for their hosts. After finishing off their last target, they prop up the victims in eerily lifelike positions around the chalet. Afterward, the youngsters gather what they need and move on while Brother, Come and Dance With Me plays in the background.

Rather than "The End", the movie concludes with "The Beginning".
