Top badass moment? Communists are bad. Rabbits are bad. If only the rest of life was that simple, although I’m now having a recurring nightmare about a totally evil red bunny that takes over the world and rules with an iron, eh, paw. Some surprisingly nuanced characters, a huge rabbit (do they really grown that big) and a bunch of quasi-feral kids in a quarry, go about their day-to-day business in the sunshine. 1 decapitation (a drawing of a dog in a children’s book), no cats or chainsaws.

Not a horror story. The stifling atmosphere of a 1950s suburb is well evoked.

Hard to pull through, and almost not worth it. But if you have a thing for perverse childhood movies, put it somewhere far on your watchlist.

Very affectionate film about coming of age/loss of innocence that relates it to the xenophobia of clueless adults and the array of unexpected repercussions of their behaviour, which at one point culminates in the greatest kids fight scene ever put in a film. It's a drama film about children, but there's plenty of genuinely terrifying horror elements that push this film into psychotic territory -- not to everyone's pleasure, but I dug the anarchy.

predictably, moronically marketed as a full-blown horror, but in reality KES, SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE and PAN'S LABYRINTH are more appropriate reference points, and it's as well-observed and acted as the former without being so steeped in dreary realism. diminishes a little when the politics is foregrounded and everything begins to feel overly symbolic, but it's compelling enough moment-by-moment to overcome that, primarily due to an all-timer child performance from rebecca smart.

What a weird film. I'm not quite sure what it was. It probably worked as a stand-alone childrens' drama, but came with added supernatural and political stuff that kept changing the tone and feel of the piece. It helped that it was largely seen from the point of view of "Celia", so we got a feel for the world of this imaginative little girl, but there was a lot going on here. Worth a look.

Estreava há 35 anos no Festival de Berlin. Provavelmente esse seria o exato filme que eu faria se quisesse me vingar dos parentes fascistas. Rá! Mas falando sério, essa é uma pequena obra-prima do horror coming of age, ver o conservadorismo sob o ponto de vista da criança que sofrem com ele, plus o fato da cadela do fascismo estar sempre no cio e dando suas crias na pele de crianças influenciadas por pais conservadores. Plus: Sempre ótimo ver criança anarquista contra o governo e a polícia.
