Who Can Kill a Child?

QUIÉN PUEDE MATAR A UN NIÑO? (WHO CAN KILL A CHILD) is a masterpiece of horror cinema. Made in 1976, this violent, gruesome little film is a first-rate shocker. A young tourist couple arrives on a Spanish island only to discover they are the only adults left alive, while the whole island seems to be ruled by its children. But the children here are cute little sadistic killers... who will put Leatherface and Jason Voorhees to shame! This is an amazing film where everything is right! The screenplay is top-notch. The cast is amazing and the children... oh, the children are delightful! Pure evil! This film has been unavailable for years and it's great to see it on DVD after so much time... restored and uncut! Director Narciso Ibáñez Serrador gives us a masterful storytelling full of great shocks and horror moments. This is truly a film that deserves to be put on the same league as Halloween, The Exorcist and The Omen. ...And, as usual, an amazing ending! A true gem to be dis... Read more

Holy!! A heavy dose of childhood trauma gets served up--this time the adults are on the receiving end! WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? is a splendidly creepy flick that only the 70's could deliver. It's quite a bizarre premise, plus it poses an extremely tough moral dilemma that has no easy answers. Tom & Evelyn take a vacation to a small island off the coast of Spain. They quickly notice their isolated little getaway spot is totally devoid of adults. Just a bunch of kids running around, acting pretty strange. Their deepest fears are about to be realized. These children are playing some deadly games. They eventually witness some adults get tied up and tortured, just for their amusement. Broootal! The most disturbing thing about this situation is the innocent appearance of these boys and girls. They have such clean little smiling faces--just completely adorable. Until you get to know them. This movie starts off a little slow, but once it gets going--look out! It's guara... Read more

"Who Can Kill A child?" is a disturbing, shocking film from Narcisco Ibanez Serrador, the Spanish director who bought us "The House That Screamed." It is by far the best entry in the killer kiddie horror sub-genre of the seventies, much better than the tasteless "Devil Times Five" or Stephen King's ludicrous, anti-Christian "Children of the Corn," which proceeded it by nearly eight years. The plot of "Who Can Kill A child?" is this: The children of a remote Spanish island have packed together like wild dogs and slaughtered all but a few adults. A vacationing British couple arrive on the island discover mutilated bodies of adults. They also witness children savagely committing acts of murder against their parents The Brits must escape before they are also butchered. The acting is superb, the atmosphere is tense, and the island is sunny and gorgeous. It is quite shocking to see cute Mediterranean children, with pixie faces, laugh and run as they "play" their cruel "ga... Read more

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! This movie is GREAT! I saw this with having the most fu#$@d up day at work and if this was not a massage for me I don't know what is? This has great directing music,cinamatography,acting and very cute,CREEPY kids. I love the isolation in this film and the directing of how the kids will swarm a entrance or doorway. This movie has shocks and a good story,though in truth could have done without the whole mind power thing...Why not just have the kids be evil for the fun of it? Still that does not diminish this from being a great film. The ending was a strong two thumbs up by the way! If your saying to yourself this review is not very helpful. YOUR RIGHT! Buuuuuuuuut check out M. and D.Wilson's they cover it all to a BLADE and a AXE! For you parents out there...If your child wants to have a friend spend the night or borrow the car????? LET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, this one completely caught me off gaurd. This is a movie more people should know about, but do to it's heavily censored release it has not been availible for many years in it's full uncut form. Now thank's to Dark Sky film's we have a beautiful print of a beatiful movie. Opening with about ten minutes of documentary footage of numerous war's throughout history and horrific images of mass graves. It show's images of human suffering and list's the numbers of the death-count of children involved. Right off the bat it left me with an uneasy feeling throughout the whole movie because of that opening. Most of the movie focuses on two main character's that come to a small island off the coast of Spain to get away for a while only to find out that the children are the only one's left on the island. It focuses on these two main characters throughout the movie and uses character development most of the time to really start to feel for these character's. The acting performances are gr... Read more
