Who Can Kill A Child? (Serrador, 1976): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 8.40pm


This 35mm presentation, part of the Cult strand at BFI Southbank, is also being screened on November 28th. Full details here.

BFI Southbank introduction:
The second (and regrettably final) film from Narciso Ibáñez Serrador sees a pair of English tourists arrive on a seemingly idyllic Spanish island, only to find it overrun by homicidal children. Despite the attention-grabbing title, Serrador prioritises slow-burn atmosphere over easy scares, infusing his sun-drenched tale of killer kiddies with an inescapable sense of melancholy and dark foreboding.

Here (and above) is the trailer.

    Yesterday's screening wasn't 35mm. No advance notice or explanation offered. Refund obtained!

    That's a shame. It was definitely advertised as 35mm in the BFI Southbank brouchure.
