haven't seen it, thanks.

anyone else who has seen any of these, feel free to corroborate :)

I should probably clarify that I'm not looking for stuff with teenagers, that would include pretty much every slasher film ever. Pre-teens and small kids only please. :)

I would guess the girl in Murder Set Pieces is around 7 or 8 and from what I can remember it was pretty graphic.

There's also a film called [spoiler]Who Can Kill A Child?[/spoiler] about a couple who get stuck on an island where children have murdered all the adults and it's either the kids who die or them etc. I haven't seen it though so I can't say if they do bite the bullet and kill the kids or what age they are.

I don't remember this one, I'll keep that in mind next time I'll be watching this.

Going all the way back to the OP, I don't believe [spoiler]Funny Games[/spoiler]has the killing onscreen, and afterwards the body is obscured. Along that logic we can include [spoiler]Hitchcock's Sabotage[/spoiler].
Also, in [spoiler]FG[/spoiler] you could count [spoiler]the weird flashback/flashforward killing of the young second sociopath, but I don't because of age.[/spoiler]

Battle Royale is painfully obvious.

If not for the on-screen and graphic part, "M" (1931) would be the most obvious example.

It's funny, though; as soon as I saw this topic, I thought of the same two films TheDenizen started his list with

[spoiler]Fight for your Life
The Untold Story[/spoiler]

The first one was complete fucking garbage, and not even worth it for the blood/violence, but the second is one of the most brutal and disturbing films I have ever seen.

Now that I think it, a partial example is

[spoiler]It (1990)[/spoiler]

Then again, maybe it's not graphic enough for TheDenizen's taste, haha.
