Product Description

Who can contemplate the unimaginable?
Who can face the unthinkable?
WHO CAN KILL A CHILD?

On a vacation away from their family, Tom (Lewis Fiander, of DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE) and his pregnant wife Evelyn (FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD’s Prunella Ransome) sail to an island off the coast of Spain that seems deserted… until its children emerge from the shadows with the blood of their parents on their hands… and hatred in their hearts for every adult.

Unflinchingly horrific and unapologetically downbeat, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador’s WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? was heavily censored for its American release in 1976 as ISLAND OF THE DAMNED. Dark Sky Films is proud to present the complete film, uncut and uncensored, for its long overdue American DVD debut.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's About Time...., May 7, 2007
By Walter Sobchak (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
...that this movie gets the DVD release that it deserves.

If you haven't seen this, it is a true "horror" movie in the vein of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

And by that I mean that it is utterly horrifying: the kind of movie you think about 10 years later and it still leaves you unsettled. The kind of movie that you're not eating popcorn while watching it because your hands are in fists throughout most of it - and you wouldn't want to be eating while watching it anyway.

By "horror," I don't mean a slasher film where you get cutsie characters, comic relief, and gratutitous nudity.

I'm not going to reveal anything about the plot because that will only detract from its impact. (Not knowing anything about this film and seeing "the scene" is perhaps the single scariest movie experience I've ever had).

Don't take my word for it though.

Why do you think it's taken over 20 years to get this movie released uncut in America - and the film itself is virtually unheard of by Americans?

You've been warned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the squeamish, June 8, 2007
By D. Jean (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of the best horror films you'll ever see in your entire lifetime. This is the complete version. A brilliant and inventive film. It's possible that Stephen King was inspired by this gem to write children of the corn. Who can kill a child? is an astonishing film, and the last reel will give you a deep trauma that will haunt you for years. 1 billion thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars %$#^@&*! Brutality is elementary...., February 13, 2009
By C. Christopher Blackshere "Mackshere" (stalking you from the shadows) - See all my reviews
Holy!! A heavy dose of childhood trauma gets served up--this time the adults are on the receiving end!

WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? is a splendidly creepy flick that only the 70's could deliver. It's quite a bizarre premise, plus it poses an extremely tough moral dilemma that has no easy answers.

Tom & Evelyn take a vacation to a small island off the coast of Spain. They quickly notice their isolated little getaway spot is totally devoid of adults. Just a bunch of kids running around, acting pretty strange.

Their deepest fears are about to be realized. These children are playing some deadly games. They eventually witness some adults get tied up and tortured, just for their amusement. Broootal!

The most disturbing thing about this situation is the innocent appearance of these boys and girls. They have such clean little smiling faces--just completely adorable. Until you get to know them.

This movie starts off a little slow, but once it gets going--look out! It's guaranteed to make you uncomfortable. Some unsettling murders that will really get under your skin. Bloody stuff!
The couple are placed in such a tough predicament--kill these poor little children, or be killed. What do you do?!?

A must-see horror heavyweight from the 70's. It reminded me of the original Wicker Man, and it's almost as good!
