Aside from the poor taste (in a bad way) opening, I really enjoyed this! It's a shame Serrador only directed a few features, as he does a superb job here with the Hitchcock's Birds-esque slow build of tension. I love how many of the kids remain childlike when they turn bad, rather than going down the Hollywood 'evil kid' route. There was something genuinely chilling about the scenes with them giggling and fooling around with their victim's corpses. Reckon this trumps Tom Shankland's The Children to become my favourite killer kid film . . .

EDIT: My mistake, the original Village of the Damned is still my number 1.
Love Who Can Kill a Child. Would like to see a Blu of this some day.
Me and the wife watched two movies last night.
The New Daughter with Kevin Costner, I thought it was a very decent thriller.
Carpenters Village of the Damned, why do the children look like they were fathered by Richard Gere?

Hell yes. The film still lingers strong in my memory, definitely gonna hunt down a decent copy (or is the Eureka disc the best?) . . .

Catching up with stuff on the Sky planner, last thing I caught was Tony Scott's Revenge, a rather decent thriller with Kevin Costner and Madeline Stowe (who was gorgeous back in the day). Starts off like a romantic drama but then mutates into a nasty thriller with shades of Peckinpah with the Mexican setting, and in some ways a neat dress rehersal for Man on Fire. Worth seeing...

Thats been on my to watch list for a long time now. Been waiting to pick it up dirt cheap in cex I'm on a mission to watch every 80s/early 90s US thriller. Madelaine Stowe has been in some very good ones! 1992's UNLAWFUL ENTRY springs to mind with Kurt Russell and Ray Liotta.

Just watched Arrow's THE EXTERMINATOR on BD. What a great film, had never seen it before but loved the sleazy Manhattan environs and satisfying bit of vigilante justice. It had the vibe of Bronson's best 70s/80s exploitation films. Can't believe director Glickenhaus is now some sort of fat cat investment banker working in Manhattan! He should have continued to make crazy films like this...

Going to watch Polanski's NINTH GATE now.
Daemonia and Wes like this.

Hammer's "She", it doesn't come any better than a pissed Peter Cushing and Bernard Cribbins dancing with scantily clad belly dancers.
