It's too draining and uneventful. This could have been really good movie if the script was developed more. The location and characters are fine.

Like getting mugged at the circus, it starts off as harrowing but after 10 minutes, it turns into another dog & pony show. The first 10 minutes of Who Can Kill A Child? is newsreel footage of ears and famine in various fighters l countries (Vietnam, Auschwitz, Nigeria, Korea, Pakistan...) and while an American announcer recounts the history and the screen displays figures of the number of people who died and how many of them were children, we're treated to gruesome, authentic news footage of corpses and dead & dying children. After 10 grisly minutes of this, the real film -- a Spanish giallo film about wild kids killing every adult on a remote island -- begins and we can relax again.

Not surprisingly, as its graphic violence is perpetrated by (and eventually directed against) children, Who Can Kill a Child? was very controversial at the time of its release and even banned in several countries. While undeniably chilling, however, the film’s violence is neither gratuitous nor exploitative. It is in the service of a deeply serious meditation on the failure of the old in their moral responsibility to the young—a failure made clear by the movie’s prolog, which catalogues twentieth-century atrocities (the Holocaust and the Vietnam War among them) that, although engineered by adults, had a devastating impact on children. The film implies that the massacre of the old at the hands of the young should be viewed as an act not of senseless murder but of self-preservation.

Mr. Serrador establishes once again with this film, that he's perhaps one of the most excellent horror directors out there and that it is a real shame that he didn't advocate his entire career to horror films only. While I'm grateful for all the episodes of "Historias para no dormir" that he directe More
