Product Description

A babysitter. A missing kid. A local legend who feasts on the eyes of children. CHILD EATER is a nightmarish roller-coaster ride of a horror movie inspired by the fantastical tone of the 1980s. When little Lucas goes missing from his bedroom in the middle of the night, his babysitter Helen ventures out into the deep, dark woods armed only with a flashlight and a fierce determination to find him.

Review

A simple night of babysitting takes a horrifying turn when Helen learns the boogeyman really is in little Lucas' closet.

CHILD EATER was recommended by Collider

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

CHILD EATER was recommended by Collider.com's Perri Nemiroff so I just picked it up from Amazon and it..is..awesome!!! This new DVD has everything you would want from a supernatural horror! I could go into spoilers but the trailer gives you all you need to know before diving deep into this instant classic. I will be rewatching this multiple times so I' so glad I added it to my library of film, and you should too if you're a horror fan!!!

I rented this. I actually sat down with my wife and made a conscious decision to acquire the rights to view this horrible film for 7 days. Within 3 minutes we knew my wife would be asleep on the couch and I would be back on my laptop because neither of us could be possibly entertained by this movie. Why don't people turn lights on. Where is the dad. Why is the father of the boy 25 and the kid is 12. How does the kid hear a bird land in a bird house through multiple interior and exterior walls and then another 75 feet away from the home. The kid literally hears a bird land in a bird house that is far away from the house while sitting in his living room. The old man that loves to eat eyeballs is like 95 years old, yet he is super humanly strong. They take special note to explain the sexual orientation of the young cop at the beginning, but it has no bearing on the story. The series of tunnels under the home would have been caught by a homeowners inspection prior to purchase.

This is not one of those bad movies that is good to watch. Its just bad, it has no redeeming qualities.

Pretty decent horror movie! I really enjoyed this one. I learned not to expect a lot these days, and this was a pleasant surprise. You're probably wondering why I only gave it 3 stars. For me that's a good score! I took away 1 star because it really didn't have anything too original. I took one star away because it didn't knock my socks off. That being said, I will still recommend it to horror movie fans for several reasons. The plot, while not what I'd call original, still held my interest throughout the movie. The special effects were above par, and the atmosphere was pretty creepy (which I love!). The acting was also a pleasant surprise. So all in all, a good, solid horror movie for true fans!

Not your typical predictable horror movie

It had good acting, the plot was good, and it was not predictable. A few jump scares but it was the tension of the movie that made it worth a watch.

Warning: SPOILERS!!! CHILD EATER (2015) is one of those DTV films with no back story, but wants you to believe that everything that is happening is real. We first see a young girl with a bloody hand and carrying a doll while walking through the woods, she walks and walks and walks until she gets to a river, where she tosses the bloody doll into the water. She continues walking, walking, walking until she gets to a park. As she is walking across the street, a female driver stops her car and runs to the little girl, who says, "He hurt me." She turns around and we can see that her right eye is missing. The camera pans down to her bloody hand and when she opens it, she is holding her eye. Twenty five years pass and we concentrate on Helen Connolly (Cait Bliss), a troubled young woman who has just broken up with her boyfriend Tom (Dave Klasko), so she asks her Sheriff father (James Wilcox) to get her jobs to keep her busy. He gets her a job as a babysitter to young Lucas Parker (Colin Critchley), a new boy in town who is sure some old man is following him. Lucas has a crush on Helen, so he is not happy when Tom pays Helen a surprise visit at his house. Helen tells Tom that she is pregnant, so the callous Tom asks her, "Is it mine? Are you gonna keep it?" Lucas disappears (Tom thinks it because he has a crush on her), but it is more serious than they both think. Lucas has been kidnapped by the monstrous Robert Bowery (Jason Martin), a local legend in this neck of the woods. It seems Bowery suffered from macular degeneration and was slowly going blind, so he kidnapped children, put masks over their heads so they were as blind as he was and then ate their eyes (!), believing that eating eyes of children would reverse his condition (Why? It is never explained). Helen's best friend, Deputy Casey (Brandon Smalls) gets a phone call at the station by a person who says her name is Ginger. She sings a nursery rhyme and then says, "He's awake now." This seems to trouble Sheriff Connolly, as this has awoken something deep inside him and he begins to worry for the safety of his daughter (Earlier in the film, a bird flies into Lucas' house and he says to Helen, "If a sparrow flies through your house, it means someone is going to die."). Helen and Tom go looking for Lucas in the woods (filmed in Catskill, NY, an old stomping ground of mine). They end up at an old deserted camp ground, which is considered "off limits" by the residents and they find evidence that someone was staying there. What do they do? Why, they split up, just like in hundreds of other horror films! Tom steps on a bear trap and screams bloody murder. Helen arrives just in time to see Bowery rip out Tom's eyes with his monstrous hands (a decent effect). Helen runs away and ends up in a deserted farm house, full of missing person posters and newspaper stories about missing children taped to the walls. Ginger (Melinda Chilton) then appears and Helen passes out. When she wakes up, she is tied to a tree and we learn that Ginger is the young girl we saw holding her own eye in the beginning of the film. She is holding a shotgun on Helen and tells her, "Call for him. This ends tonight!" We then see Lucas waking up, finding himself with a mask over his head in a house full of dead bodies. Helen then breaks free and knocks out Ginger. She calls the police and then accidentally (?) stabs herself with a knife and passes out, She wakes up in a hospital room, brought there by her father, who wants to know what happened. A nurse comes in and tells Helen that she and her baby are going to be okay. It seems that Bowery is on the loose once again, but how can that be since he has been long dead? If you are looking for answers, you won't find them in this trifle of a film, which is heavy on gory eye removal (even Helen gets one of her orbs removed), but light on explanations. This (Kickstarter-funded) film, based on a 2012 short of the same name, makes very little sense and seems way too long for its short 82-minute running time. Icelandic director/screenwriter Erlingur Ottar Thoroddsen doesn't bother to explain why Bowery returns or if it is even Bowery at all. He just appears and doesn't look human at all, with a large mouth full of sharp teeth and sharp talons for hands. Of course, bullets can't stop him, which makes me wonder how he was caught 25 years earlier. Like most modern-day DTV horror films, Helen's best friend Casey is gay and he ends up saving her life when Bowery rips out one of her eyes and he shoots him in the head (What?), leading to Helen grabbing a gun and shooting every bullet into his head, too (Double What???), as we watch Bowery's body transform into a pile of goo that is absorbed into the ground. It also ends like most modern-day DTV horror flicks, as we watch a pregnant Helen walking down a dark hospital corridor, when Bowery appears behind her, saying, "They're best when they're fresh!" setting up the film for an unwanted sequel. Stay tuned after the end credits for a worthless stinger. Nothing about this film stands out, not even the creepy Catskill location shoot, of which I am very familiar. Available free streaming on Amazon Prime. Why bother?

This film has high production value and a good accompanying score

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

All the actors do what they need to do without overdoing it. This film has high production value and a good accompanying score, which is usually where these smaller budget horror movies lack, not here! The tones were almost perfect in my opinion and it didn't try to be something it wasn't. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. It's not a blow-your-socks-off horror movie, but I hope there are sequels. If not, it's still a really good time, never gets boring and is a solid stand-alone horror film for anyone who enjoys the genre.

Very good acting and a good script. Could see a sequel with more depth too the story. Other wise, this is very enjoyable.

Poorly explained, lazily written attempt at an old school horror flick

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm not going to spend too much time going into detail about this walking travesty but it's a prime example of lazy writing. This is why these straight to DVD films are straight to DVD. The plot relies on you the viewer to fill in the blank rather than even a semblance of an explanation for the events happening and you giving your own interpretation. All the attention is focused on the gore with minimal attention being given to the story. Hell, some characters even outright disappear during the climax of the movie with NO explanation by it's end.

Final Girl.

Very creepy and a great old school horror.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I actually loved this one. A very creepy atmosphere carried this one through and helped along by good performances it keeps ones attention. The baby sitter Hellen is a very sympathetic character and I really felt for her at times, her feeling of duty to her young charge puts her in some very horrible situations and I was rooting for her throughout. The actual “Child Eater “is a very creepy character and I must admit that he made my skin crawl. The way he comes creeping out of the darkness had me dreading his appearance. It’s very well produced and never looks cheap. The slasher elements worked for me and it never felt silly or contrived. The atmosphere is indeed very bleak and in the neglected summer camp one got an overall feeling of dread. A great effort and a kind of return to the genuine horror movies of the past. I loved it and will be watching again.

Guter Horror, aber dieses Ende...

Reviewed in Germany on September 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Guter Horror mit einem – wieder einmal – Ende, das dem Zuschauer den ganzen Spaß binnen einer Sekunde verderben kann.

Von den Darstellern kennt man niemanden, ist aber auch nicht wichtig. Hauptdarstellerin Cate Bliss hat aber einen Preis für ihre Rolle bekommen (Best Actress: Fantastically Horrifying Cinema Festivalie). Synchro ist nicht gut und oft zu leise.

Ganz gut sind die Splattereffekte (auch dafür gab es eine Auszeichnung beim Fright Nights Festival) und der Film war zum Teil auch recht spannend. Die Atmosphäre hat mir gut gefallen, zum Teil recht gruselig.

Insgesamt gab es 5 Filmpreise auf verschiedenen Festivals. Wenn der Film zur Auswahl stand, hat er auch immer gewonnen.

Warum dann nur 3 Sterne?
Weil das Ende überflüssig und dämlich war und mir den ganzen Spaß der vorherigen 82 Minuten genommen hat.
