Who Can Kill a Child?

Who Can Kill a Child?
(1976) [Full Movie]
Director: Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (IMDB)

I hate children. I would go as far as to say I never want them. I used to think that was a pretty shitty stance to have, but after watching Who Can Kill a Child, my opinion has been reinforced.

Who Can Kill a Child takes place in Spain. These two English tourists head to a small Island for vacation. This island doesn't get much in the way of visitors and when the couple arrive it seems deserted, with the exception of children. Turns out the kids are all possessed and out for blood. They killed all the adults on the island and the newcomers are next in line.

I have mixed feeling about this movie. I wanted to love it when I first heard about it, but it fell flat in a lot of places. First off, the intro is the worst, totally depressing and repetitious. It basically shows stock footage of dead or dying children with statistics of body counts from different wars, spliced with audio of a child singing this creepy ass tune. After about a minute in I was ready to fast forward through it. Plus it adds nothing to the movie, I understood what the film maker was trying to say with it, but it was just really awkward and weird. When the actual movie starts, as a whole, it was pretty cool. It's loaded with lots of cool vintage 70's vibes and the scenes when the kids all gang up together were really successful. It did lack a lot on believability, you absolutely must suspend disbelief, especially when it comes to some of the decisions the couple makes. They are idiots. I would say if you're into horror, give it a run, it was pretty fun.
