There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023)



Released January 17th in the US.
Filming location(s) unknown.
The story:  Married couple Margaret and Ben have gone along with friends married couple Ellie and Thomas, and their children Lucy and Spencer to a couple secluded cottages in the woods.
On a hiking trip, they come across an ancient ruin of some sort and decide to explore it.
Inside they find many dead animals but not much else.
That is until Lucy and Spencer come across a very deep hole in the ground that they cannot take their eyes off.
When the adults finally get the children away from the hole, they go back to their camp and things resume as usual.
After longtime gal pals Margaret and Ellie get to talking, Margaret suggests that the kids stay the night with her and Ben, so Ellie and Thomas can have some alone time.
Ellie takes up the offer.
The next morning while cooking breakfast, Ellie and Ben find that the kids are not in their cottage.
In a panic, Ben starts looking for them. 
Knowing their fascination with the ruins and wanting to go back, Ben checks there.
He finds them but sees them plummet into the hole, leaving behind their lifeless bodies at the bottom.
Unable to grasp what he just witnessed, Ben makes it back to camp only to find the kids are there.
This is really confusing.
But what's even more confusing, is now the kids are playing some really scary mind games with Ben.
Things get creepier and creepier by the minute.
When Ben finally tries telling the others about what he saw and what he believes is going on, no one wants to believe him.
But things get bad for everyone, really quick.
