Recent horror hits The First Omen and Immaculate are the latest in a long line of "evil child" movies. These films play on pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood, delving into the dark side of family life and mining this material for scares. It's a subgenre that goes way back to classics like The Innocents, Rosemary's Baby, and The Exorcist.
Anthony appears as a different character in each segment, delivering terrific and believable performances as a person broken by loss and loneliness. Unfortunately, Heron is not great in his admittedly challenging role. However, the movie compensates with a compelling story that escalates to truly grim places; Alma is tormented and tricked in the vilest of ways. Though rough around the edges, Trilogy of Terror II is a surprising amount of fun and a great slice of '90s horror nostalgia.
Eden Lake was part of a wave of British movies in the late 2000s that dealt with issues of crime and social decay in that country, especially the supposed menace of young hoodlums, or "hoodies." It's arguably the best example of this subgenre, putting a fresh spin on tropes from films like Deliverance, Last House on the Left, and Lord of the Flies.
The Brood R Drama Horror Release Date May 26, 1979 Cast Oliver Reed , Samantha Eggar , Art Hindle , Susan Hogan Runtime 92 Watch on Criterion The story closely mirrors many horrors that followed and took inspiration from it, Eden Lake chief among them. But Who Can Kill A Child? has a rough-and-ready meanness that its imitators lack. It's gritty and artful, immersive despite its meager budget and utterly unafraid. Story-wise, the movie feels almost like a zombie story but with kids instead of walking corpses and frequently arresting visuals.
Today, The Innocents is regarded as a classic of psychological horror. Fans praise the screenplay's depth and subtle storytelling. Martin Scorsese counts himself among them, once naming The Innocents as one of the scariest horrors ever made. Guillermo Del Toro has also cited it as a favorite, acknowledging its influence on Crimson Peak. " camera style on The Innocents contains some of my favorite shots of all time," he has said.
