"A completely unheralded classic of bleak 1970s horror cinema." - Jeremiah Kipp

Intersting if lawed. It's a disturbing euro horror film that borrows from village of the damned, night of the living dead, and was a precursor to Children of the corn. It has some moments, but it has aged and is not the schocker it once was anymore. Still worth a look, it's a handosme, intriguing little film that is worth the time.

Annoyingly dumb

Spanish remake of Hitchcock's "The Birds".

It's a slow movie, but when it tackles the question in its title, the film gets intense. The ending was excellent

It's kinda slow moving in the first half, but once the pace picks up, it gets really creepy and there's a handful of scenes of genuine horror. The tension mounts forever as the couple try to escape without hurting any of the kids, but once the floodgates open...hoo boy. Kids get killed. It's awesome. A couple of more Night of the Living Dead-style siege scenes would've made this an absolute classic.

One of the most disturbing films ever made - and it accomplishes this with a minimum of graphic carnage. Beautifully paced and directed, with good performances and a memorably sunbaked landscape.

Watched this on recommendation from Eli Roth and it was actually pretty good. The score was brilliant and aside from some weak writing choices it was thoroughly entertaining all the way through.

To badass moment? Tom didn’t make for a very good hero; realistic, but not very Hollywood-like. To give him his due, he does do his best under quite trying circumstances; driving fast(ish), planning an escape, searching for survivors, protecting his wife, running around a lot, using a gun, fighting bad guys. Trying to be a hero (when clearly you’re not and wearing flared trousers too) is badass. 0 cats and 0 decapitations, (although you do get the feeling there was an off-screen of the latter).

Creepy and disturbing.

So basically Children of the Corn simplified and dissolved the intensity of this movie, somehow became more renown, and ended up actively burying a far greater picture in obscurity. This film is candid, utterly terrifying and completely brilliant. And best of all, unlike Children of the Corn, there's none of the weird don't-worship-false-prophets-traditional-Christian-finger-wagging-didactism to sully the ending. Who Can Kill a Child is a must-see.

Starts of somewhat slow (probably could've cut a few scenes), but the entire second half is tense, exploding in an intense Dawn of the Dead-esque ending.

A killer-kids movie that's far more boring that it should be. A few scenes are played up for maximum impact, but they are few and far between. Decent cinematography is ultimately unable to help this one rise above mediocrity.
