Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

dhainline1 "Who Can Kill a Child?" is a mid 1970s classic about a young British couple Tom (Lewis Fiander) and Evelyn (the late Prunella Ransome) who are on vacation. Evelyn is pregnant with their 3rd child and the couple want a vacation before the birth. Tom and Evelyn have a young son and daughter named Richard and Rosie already. Spain seems like an ideal place for them, but then again, other people have gotten the same memo and the island Tom and Evie are vacationing on is lousy with people. Tom and Evie want to get away from the noise and happy chaos of so many people. He suggests they take a boat to Almanzora, an island he went to 12 years ago. The day Tom and Evie take the boat to Almanzora is simply beautiful! When they arrive on the island, they see the white buildings and young boys playing in the water. One boy is a solemn, dark-haired kid with a fishing pole, a basket, and a less-than friendly-attitude towards Tom and Evie. Things become more and more unusual on Almanzora. All the inhabitants seem to be children ages 12 and under. The thing that clinches how strange the island is when Tom and Evie see a young girl not yet in her teens steal a cane from an old man and beat him to death with it! Both of them are shocked by what this young girl has done and she seems to think beating an old man to death is some sort of game. Tom sees the village children use the old man as a piñata later on. The reveal comes about when Tom and Evie realize all the adults have been eliminated from the equation by the children. A father of one of the murderous children says the murders happened the night before. He is soon killed when his daughter leads him to his death. The dark-haired boy and a blond boy are the leaders of the murderous children. All it takes is for them to stare at good children in a sort of hypnosis to get the good children on their side. It's too late to save Evie's unborn baby from this weird kind of hypnosis. A young girl touches Evie's pregnant stomach and the baby kills Evie. Tom can't take it anymore. He shots the children down and the ones who remain chase him to the shore. Tom is going to leave the island when the remaining children attack. A police boat comes by and the cops think Tom is killing innocent children. The chief shots Tom dead and the children show the cops where the villagers are hiding. This is a ruse of course. The boys rob the police boat of ammo and guns and shoot the cops dead."Who Can Kill a Child" is a really good, creepy movie about children who can't take the horrible things adults do anymore (ie., wars, famines, etc). The kids hypnotize each other and this makes all of them do away with their elders. The setting is not a haunted house and the sun is up during most of the movie. The children are all creepy and most of them have benevolent smiles that hide malice. One really can't blame the children for attacking the adults. The beginning of the movie shows wars, famines, and children being eliminated in concentration camps. I can't help but think Stephen King must have seen this movie late at night and was influenced to write "Children of the Corn" because his story follows the concept of this movie. I recommend "Who Can Kill a Child" because it is chilling, creepy, and no one would think a beautiful island would be the home of a horror movie!

trashgang I looked out to catch the full uncut version, 117 minutes but what the hell. There isn't that much happening in this overrated flick. Being made in 1976 I can understand that back then it will have shocked viewers but for today's standard it is a bit low on suspense and even slow to watch.You could easily see that it was a low budget. There aren't any effects used. When someone is killed by the youth you only see blood running from their faces but what annoyed me was the fact that you could see the death people easily breath, and the director made even a close-up of that old man supposed to be death. If it would be a classic then this should happen at all. On part of the children going for a kill it supposed to be shocking. But they were only standing their with a grim on their face. Another flick from the same year, John Carpenter's Assault On Precinct 13 was more shocking and still it is for some not done where a ice-cream man shoots a child in the head on-camera.What is really shocking in this feature is the use of news footage in the opening credits. It took 8 minutes before they were over, but what you see isn't for the squeamish, from corpses in Auschwitz over Vietnam footage were they used napalm (with the naked burned girl...) over to Biafra footage. The acting was rather okay and that saved this overrated flick a bit. Lewis Fiander (Tom) and Prunella Ransome (Evelyn) went further in the British scene. Prunella died in 2002 at the age of 59. If you liked Children Of The Corn (1984) then you will like this one, it also has a small supernatural part where the freaky kids are possession the pregnant Evelyn's child (Rosemary's Baby (1968)).It is finally available on DVD after being for almost 30 an obscure flick.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 0/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

Cristiano-A An out of date movie. A kind of mix between The Birds, The Village of the Damned and Verano Azul. However, a pleasant discovery. The director, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, created a famous TV show (1,2,3) that appeared on television all along Europe. Becoming the children in our society an increasingly scarce good and becoming the same children more selfish each succeeding generation, we can expect that this cycle will tend to escalate in the future something we may also call the generational conflict, but that will have nothing in common with the conflicts that we had known in the past, because the dispute is no longer about values, as happened in May 68, but will be about the well-being of each of the generations estranged.

muckrules Now this film is twisted. Two young tourists who are madly inlove and expecting a child go to a island to relax only to find that the town is adult free and over run by savage kids. Children who have murdered everyone of their elders and have overthrown athority. Leaving these tourists to fend for their forsaken lives.... The cinematography in this disturbing movie is amazing. Apearently this film is a favourite of Eli Roth's. This film is a great companion peace to The Children Of The Corn (2009). I found this film to be quite interesting and it does bring up a good question if you had to defend yourself in a life or death situation could you kill a child?
