Spanish genre movies from the late 60' and 70's have a very good track record. (cannibal man, bell from hell, The blind dead movies) This however is the best of the lot. The plot involves a british couple on holiday in spain who decide to visit a remote island for some peace and quiet, only to find the local kids have begun killing all the adults, faced with life threatening danger from the kids the couple have to ask themselves 'who can kill a child'. Interestingly this predates stephen kings children of the corn by 10 years and I wonder if king had ever caught this film.
There are many reasons to reccomend this film. It is uncut in the west for the first time, the picture quality is great, as is the sound. The film itself is very well made and very disturbing, it has a great soundtrack and excellent performances all round!

This is one of those `lost classics' and has been resurrected and put back put on DVD by a number of distributors. It was also called `The Island of the Damned' and that is actually quite good as it is a sort of `Lord of the Flies' meets `The Village of the Damned', but without quite the same punch as either of those, but is still good in its own right.

The film opens with a montage of some of the then current world crisis, like the war in Thailand and the crisis in Biafra - the one thing that the news stories have in common is that it is always the children who suffer. The story then goes that an English couple are on their last holiday before their new baby is born and have decided to spend it on a quiet island four hours sail from the mainland. Fed up of the hustle and bustle of the tourist filled beaches and rousing fiestas and that whole tourist thing. So Tom (Lewis Fiander) and Evelyn (Prunella Ransome) hire a boat and set sail. On arrival they are met by some children, but the ninios are far from welcoming.

After a while they find that everyone has gone away, Tom believes it must be for a festival and so thinks nothing of it, then at the pension where they intend to stay, the phone rings. It is from a German girl begging for help and she sounds desperate- mwaahhh! Yep and then it kicks off.

This really is a great little horror film, but not horror in the slash and scream vein, it is a psychological horror that uses everyday scenarios and turns them round from being a game to being murder. Some of the kids do look genuinely scary and the main characters do a reasonable job of their roles. There has been some criticism of the way Evelyn is presented, but bear in mind this was 1976 and sexism was still pretty rampant, so it is probably quite common for the time.

Bit of a hidden gem this - directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, the 1976 Spanish movie tells the story of a holidaying British couple who uncover a nightmarish situation on a remote island, and are forced to reassess their core values and beliefs in the face of what they are witnessing.

Opening with a grim black and white pathe news style montage of various wars and their effects on children, the film then switches to a packed Mediterranean beach at the height of summer, and immediately throws a curveball with the vision of a mutilated female corpse floating into shore. This horror is replaced by our first view of the young couple; happy and relaxed as they begin their final vacation before their new baby is born, the pair has no idea of the terror and violence that awaits them...

Although this is rated 18, it pales into significance with today's horror movies, and the levels of gore are actually pretty restrained. The way in which it achieves its effects however, is far more subtle, and Serrador's creation of a sense of creeping dread is perfectly executed; more than compensating for the dated acting styles (the wife is particularly one-dimensional and hugely reliant on her husband from start to finish) and basic cinematography. Australian actor Lewis Fiander is excellent as the tormented husband, forced to accept a reality he simply cannot comprehend, and the demonic children make for a highly effective and disturbing ensemble.

I screened this film at my University's Cult Film Society and it received a great, yet split reaction from the audience.

The film does question you on a number of levels, and also is one of the only films that truly emphasises the classical meaning of horror, that of loss. In this case a loss of innocence and self control.

The film is definitely worth buying if you're interested in exploring the question of the title, essentially it asks the viewer: could YOU kill a child if the situation depended on it? In our case many decided that they would kill the children in order to save themselves and their family.

We watched the Spanish language version with the English subs because the film was initially released in Spain and we wanted to experience it in its original form. However the two leading characters' lines were recorded in English and then dubbed into Spanish, therefore the majority of the film was originally filmed in English. I recommend watching both the Spanish and English dubs (both included on the disc) in order to get a more rounded feel for the movie, as at some times the English subtitles made the film seem more like a novel and as a result the completely English audience may not have felt the same emotion for the characters as they would have had an English audio track been playing. Also the subtitles change a tad too quickly before you can read them all on some occasions.

A number of reviews have criticised the slow pace of the film. This film pre-dates the fast-paced norms that Western audiences got used to during the slasher boom of the 1980s.
