I think that they should start making horror movies when ONLY kids die, because nothingh pisses me off more than terrible kid actors.

I noticed that long ago, and so I was thinking of having a little kid die a gory death in my movie since you don't see it much....dont know for sure yet though...I know alot of little boys around here are into horror movies(because they complimented my Leatherface & Michael Myers costumes) and I'm sure I could get one to agree to get all bloody for a movie scene.

If you're going to put kids in a horror movie, don't make them smarter or less vulnerable than adults or teens. Don't take your audience for morons. Kids dying in horror movies is a good thing in my book.

I definitely won't...I'm sort of basing this movie on real events...not entirely of course because it's a horror movie. But I'm taking a few things from real life and putting them in the story and basing some characters on people I've known...and most people I've known haven't been the smartest.

Personally I would like to see MORE of that. I mean, why do the kids always live (not always, but you know what I mean.) Its always the adults or teens. Its a horror movie, and I'm sure a evil psychopathic insane killer isn't going to be nice enough as to spare a child. Or some freak, sudden occurrence where someone comes in at the exact right time to save the child. What are the chances? Honestly.

well, lets see if i can explain this properly.

the people who make films - for the most part - are adults.
adults dont enjoy seeing children die onscreen.

this might be a difficult concept to grasp for some of you at this time.

after 20 more years of reading newspapers and watching the news where this kind of shit happens for real, you may begin to understand why it doesnt seem necessary to put it in films.

I know there are a number of people out there who feel nothing is sacred, nothing is taboo.
I hope for future society's sake this changes eventually.

A couple of weeks ago I saw the Ring Two. While I didn't care much for the movie, the young boy in the film, did have a sinister look most of the film, (very pale, dark circles under the eyes, that sort of stuff). I think this type of character is very effective for the creep factor. The young boy in Pet Semetary is really creepy when he comes back too. If the demise is implied, not graphic/gorey then I think it can be effective.

Adults die violent deaths too, you know. My point is, if you're going to put kids in horror movies and make them unvulnerable, then you are an idiot.

would you say that all those directors who have worked on rape movies enjoy seeing rape scenes?

who said invulnerable ?
sure they die .. i believe the thread said 'dying violent deaths'
implying 'why arent kids seen graphically killed onscreen' ?

i gave you the same answer you'd get from people in the industry.
very few people want to film that. And very few people want to see it..

the ones that do should seek help.
