Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Horror films are almost by definition so full of plagiarism and revamped ideas that it's always exciting to find real originality in a plot. While this is influenced by Night of the Living Dead and Lord of the Flies, its twist is inventive and, potentially, highly relevant: the children of a remote Spanish island are afflicted by a kind of supernatural plague, and slaughter the adult population. Finally, though, the film fails to take advantage of its own idea. Hints over the credits that the children of the human race may be exacting revenge for war atrocities are undercut by a gratuitous Rosemary's Baby subplot.Author: DP
