One of the great taboos, I love seeing the little cherubs get sliced or blown away on-screen - quite simply because it's a hot potato of a thing to depict.

From the ketchup-strewn daftness of Beware! Children at Play to the startlingly nasty carnage of The Untold Story, films with infant deaths always grab the attention, and even moreso if these scenes are graphic and protracted.

One might take the moral stance and object to such scenarios having the audacity to grace the screen on grounds of taste, but anybody with half a brain is aware that a drama is a drama and if the difference between exploitative storytelling and leering stimulation is not clear then best avoid anything with kids in it just to be safe.

Killing children is bad... well so is killing adults - but if we are to enjoy horror movies without needing our little set of dos & donts by our armchairs then you really have to take the rough with the smooth.

I just picked up Beware! Children at Play the other day...coincidence?

more more more!!!
splatter pow zip woooo!!!! yeah!

umm... so fulci shouuld have had more kids die.
i liked in the real dawn of the dead, the little kid zombies... that was great. although in the fake dawn of the dead, i was pre-rehab and i was yelling "baby zombie!!" as soon as i saw the pregnant waiting to die girl. needless to say i never got to see after the part where i got thrown out of the theatre and thats okay, because that movie sucked.

i want to get a job as a movie huy, so people can come in my office and be like "oh so i want to remake day of the dead, but i'm going to make it suck and the zombies will run!" and i'll be all like, "stand up boy." and wind up and kick them so hard in the nuts that they will never think of remaking a classic zombie flick and make zombies run. and while they are lying there crying like a little bitch, i will explain the ethnobiology of zombies and why they can't run. ...so when do i start?? i mean to get paid, i already do that to people who think zombies can run.
