Children being killed....

[miss jesus]

The remake of [spoiler]The Blob[/spoiler] gets a lot of credit for having a kid get killed. That was probably Frank Darabont.

Been a while since I've seen it, but I seem to remember that one of the horrifying dream sequences in [spoiler]An American Werewolf in London has Nazi monsters gunning down a whole family.[/spoiler]

You might also want to check out [spoiler]The Changeling (1980)[/spoiler], which has kid murder in it.

There's also [spoiler]Robocop II[/spoiler].

[spoiler]Antichrist.[/spoiler]

[TheDenizen]

[spoiler]The Untold Story[/spoiler] is one of the most brutal and disturbing films I have ever seen.

yup. When [spoiler]Anthony Wong gouges out that kids throat with a broken bottle and then butchers like 3 or 4 small children with a huge cleaver, my jaw was on the floor.[/spoiler]

Two absolute classics spring to mind
[spoiler]Once Upon a Time in the West[/spoiler]

*smacks forehead* can't believe I didn't think of this one.

Thanks to everyone else for your contributions as well!

Ugh. I feel like an idiot for not thinking of that one, especially considering I watched a little over a month ago, and consider it one of the 20-25 greatest films I have ever seen.

Oh, and [spoiler]Let the Right One In[/spoiler].

Most jaw-dropping sequence in the whole movie.

oh man, another one I can't believe I didn't remember.

Do zombie children count? If so, I'm sure there's countless occurrences of children getting killed in zombie movies.

The original [spoiler]Dawn of the Dead[/spoiler] comes to mind. [spoiler]The scene towards the beginning where the black dude shoots the two little zombie kids.[/spoiler]

[TheDenizen]

yeah, absolutely. if [spoiler]Flesh Eater[/spoiler] counts, then so should [spoiler]DOTD.[/spoiler] Thanks!

Why the hell do you love seeing children getting killed, especially graphically? Being a father, I know it'll break my heart, so I can't think of any other reason than you being a psychopath. Also dismayed to see all the "recommendations".

WTF? Only I feel this way???!!

I'm not a father, and I don't like children. I especially hate overly cutesy kids they put in movies, and enjoy being shocked and seeing taboos broken. It's not like I want to see kids die for real. I have seen a real person die in front of me (not a kid) and it was horrible.

If that makes me a psychopath, so be it, but it would seem there are plenty of psychos posting on this board if that's the case.



EDIT: also, given that we've both rated close to 2000 films and have only 266 in common, I think it's fair to say we have pretty wildly divergent tastes.

EDIT 2: I just noticed this week's blog is a discussion about this thread! Very cool.

same here, reason why I love [spoiler]Once Upon a Time in the West[/spoiler] but hate it when it feels gratuitous

case in point: [spoiler]Hostel II: pointless/out of place scene as Sasha blows a kids brains off just to display his badassery, wtf[/spoiler]
