The EVIL KIDS THREAD
 

The Omen and the Damned films were class,as is Who Can Kill A Child?
The Other 1972 was another chilling portrayl.

Remember Bloody Kids? Absolutely brilliant. :nod:

I thought Bloody Birthday was quite good, although the kid with the glassess is a little **** face!

John Carpenter's Village of the Damned remake is a load of crap!

Anyone remember Mark Lester in Night Hair Child? :shocked:

I've always been intrigued by Mikey and never managed to see it. Did the BBFC ever pass it?

I still remember the press screening being cancelled at the last minute...

No the BBFC banned Mikey in 1996 and it hasn't been re-submitted since. Needless to say it wouldn't be banned today. I would like to see it as well.

Who Can Kill a Child? is easily my favourite and highly recommended for those who haven't seen it. :nod:

I'm not sure if it falls into this bracket, but Orphan was a pleasant surprise!

I'm also a big fan of The Good Son.

I saw the time code of Mikey & you're not missing much.The ban was absolutely ridiculous.I like THE BAD SEED (Warner)though the censors enforced a happy ending after the moppets electrocution where she's spanked after a curtain call !.Love The Omen (A firm favourite) with its creepy performance from the young Harvey Stephens & The Village Of The Damned too.You could also add Pet Sematary though I'm not a fan of the film.

One freaky film that would definitely still have BBFC problems today.

I've never seen it but long wanted to. I remember reading about it a year or so ago and thinking that I would probably never get to see it released in the UK!

It sounds utterly tripped out. I'd love to track it down. Does anyone know what state the DVD released as "What The Peeper Saw" is in? Is it complete? Is it of OK quality? Should I just shut up and buy it? :lol:

It's a bootleg,but it's as good as we're likely to get for the moment.I keep meaning to buy it but there's always something else appears I want more.Some many discs,never enough dough !.

Anyone seen the Master of Horror episode: The Fair Haired Child? Not the best MOH episode but pretty good nonetheless.

It was originally cut for cinema, then cut even more heavily for the cinema re-release.

Might be wrong but can't see this film ever being picked up for DVD here.

The Children is my favourite on the list.

Me neither. It just wouldn't be worth it. Some former PCA problem films are now uncut but this definitely wouldn't be one of them. Ditto for Private Lessons.

I'm pretty sure I saw it on telly years ago, it was more than likely cut though.I still remember the freakiness of this film to this day!

Even the US & Korean (The version I have) dvds of PL are pixellated due to some frontal nudity from Kristel in one scene,though they are otherwise uncut.

I have the US DVD too, plus the old (heavily cut) Braveworld video for comparison. I haven't seen the current Cinema Club version though apparently it's been re-edited in a similar way.

Finished watching Julie Darling.A right little nasty bitch,this.
Sybil Danning,as usual doesn't skimp when it comes to baring her assets,and the climax is rather nasty and downbeat.
A thoroughly recommended little slice of exploitation.
One which deserves a decent DVD going over.

I've not yet seen Don't Deliver Me From Evil...do they count as "kids"?

I watched a great evil kid flick the other night, it was called Joshua and stars Sam Rockwell and the lass from Orphan and The Departed; it's recommended for fans of evil kiddies!

Yeah, certainly. Which makes it all the more disturbing when they are trying to 'make it' with almost every guy in the film... :shocked:

I tried to watch Night Hair Child yesterday (but fell asleep on the couch before the end...d'oh!).

What a bloody weird film that is!!! I was so tired I wasn't sure if I was dreaming bits of it!

I wanted to punch Mark Lester in the face even more than I did in Oliver!...quite an achievement!

Just...strange! Going to watch it again later. See if I can work out what was going on in the heads of the people behind it! :lol:

Why is Andrea Bianchi credited as the director on The Continent?

Anyone seen any good nasty brat films lately?

I thought that Wake Wood could easily fit into this sub-genre of horror. :nod:

"The Pit" is well worth a look with it's killer kiddie feeding people to little monsters who live in a hole in the ground in the local woods. Also "The Children", not the recent one but the American one from either the late 70s or early 80s where killer kiddie zombies can only be killed by having their hands cut off!!!

I've still got that Troma DVD!

Yeah,bit of nasty 'un that eh?

As could LET ME IN.:nod:

I LOVE killer kid movies ha ha
Children was ok I thought. I own the blu paid about £8 for it for some strange reason!
Wake wood is awesome though.

Eden Lake and Them are not supernatural kids but still kids ha ha

Yeah,and evil little shits.

Especially in Eden Lake.....if one movie wanted me to turn into Paul Kersey or John Eastland,then it was this......:chainsaw:

The weird mutant kids in The Brood still freak the hell outta me! :fear:

Brood was awesome! :nod:

Yeah another nasty kids classic!

Those midgets in the kitchen scene was superb!

Have to agree, The Brood is fantastic! That, along with Village of the Damned are my two favourite creep kid movies.

Psycho Kids!
 

Hi everyone!

Kids can be a nightmare at times - there's no denying that - and cinema has long played with this idea of evil, psychotic kids. Normally in horror films such as The Omen and The Exorcist, it can often work really well.

There's a new film coming out soon on DVD/Blu-ray called The Aggression Scale which is meant to be a gruesome version of Home Alone. It's about a couple of kids who don't play nicely when a group of thugs attempt to kill them. It also stars Ray Wise from Mad Men and Reaper as well as Derek Mears! The film really takes the psycho kids theme to the extremes - I highly recommend checking this one out!

Sam's blog on the subject - The Aggression Scale: PSYCHO KIDS!

So what are some other Psycho kid films? Which are the best? The worst? :)

The Children Of Ravensback, The Children Of The Corn, Bloody Birthday and The Brood. Little horrors the lot of 'em!:mmph:

Great titles there SD! Totally forgot about Bloody Birthday though - that's a great little slasher film. Birthday cake anyone? ;)
