Goblins

They want the children! Someone is taking children from their homes on Roanoke Island and gruesomely slaughtering their families. After a small, hideous-looking creature is discovered at one of the murder scenes, Chief of Police Marcus Hale realizes whatever is responsible for the killings isn't even human. Hale suspects a bizarre link to the past, to the end of the 16th Century, when the island's first settlers disappeared, leaving only the word Croatoan carved into a tree. But something far more sinister than he ever imagined is at work. And if it isn't stopped soon, the entire island's population will perish. Just like it did so many centuries ago.
