crownofsprats First, let's give a slow golf clap for the quality of sound design - some fine atmospheric synthwork by the auteur here. Totally wasted on this garbage barge, of course...in fact, it would have been way cooler if it was created just to be blasted forth from a lone speaker on some Staten Island garbage barge (as part of an avant-garde art installation with live webcam of seagulls and other birds interacting with the sonic space imposed on them by the incomprehensible forces of modernity and chaos, or something). Let's just say for the sake of argument that the little exposition provided as to how the kids turned evil is enough to let you fill in your own blanks. Psionic demon rays? Outbreak of a sentient fungus? The island was secretly a pedo resort and all the adults had it coming? (Honestly, this last one would explain why the dude spent the first ten minutes of the film trying REALLY HARD to take his very pregnant wife to this stupid place, which is apparently only accessibly by taking a local's fishboat out to a tiny dot in the sea, and giving the weird fisherman a "deposit" of two grand to borrow it.) Whatever, let's just get to the killer kids. Because heck, let's admit that the real reason we're all here not for the island scenery but to watch these tourist goobers duke it out with a bunch of murderous rug- brats, all armed to the (milk) teeth with a variety of household and garden implements. Maybe the evil kids have glowing eyes or weird discolored teeth. Hopefully they talk in unison. If the leads are likable enough, there's supposed to be some character hardening before they embrace their transgressively violent and absurd destiny and start dishing out some permanent detention. If they're unlikable people, then they spend an hour or so blundering around from one bad decision to the next before being murdered in some grisly and creative fashion, and then the adorable kids do adorable kid things with their entrails, eyeballs, severed limbs, etc. But this is where the film really earns its two-star rating. Even though the leads were completely unlikable (both as characters and as actors) and contributed their share to ruining this film, the blame falls squarely on Makinov for turning an otherwise totally workable formula into a plodding and aimless waste of time. Any suspense built by the soundtrack (and the half-decent camera-work) is quickly deflated. The two leads stumble around the island for over an hour without a single good, funny, or otherwise noteworthy line of dialogue between them. The wife's pregnancy is as arbitrary as their decision to go to this stupid island, and their whole dynamic had a weird sexist overtone to it. The kids fared only a little better - but at least they got to wallow around in some gore and act mildly cryptic, even though none of it means a thing and serves no purpose. Perhaps Makinov has some weird "preteen girls playing with gore" fetish, and that was the sole point of making this film..."pedo island" indeed.Even the title is ultimately meaningless. Certainly none of the kids ever chant it (in unison!) as they advance towards the frightened couple, clad in weird outfits, torches in pudgy little hands. That's what I would have liked to see in a film of this subgenre with that title. And they do none of that! So really, Makinov, what's the point even?Get a better writer, Makinov. Like, someone other than Makinov, you knowkinov?

Aristides-2 I knew I was in deep, deep trouble when the director's surname-only name was emblazoned in huge lettering in the credits; he dared go where the great director's of cinema history never went. As many of you know horror films are a beginning step for many a wanna-be filmmaker. Usually lower budget and of course given the whorish ego's of some of these people, a lowering of movie-making standards takes place by making their products more violent and gross than last year's group. So what finally does Mackintosh present for the audience? An unoriginal, highly derivative re-branding of elements that go back decades. Overwrought music that 'tells' you when to be frightened, two main characters that repeatedly follow the script but do not follow the script of what two frightened people would do in real life. Example: A killer kid has the wife and husband in view behind the grate, pointing a cocked pistol at them. But bloodthirsty as these children are supposed to be he never pulls the trigger and is shot to death for his imbecilic hesitation. And does the couple rush forward and pick up another weapon? No they don't. Another example has the husband leaving his 7 month pregnant wife alone in the courtyard, where the walls could be easily scaled and goes for a second, unnecessary tour of the hotel, the whole purpose being to set up his running back to her when she screams. Finally, though there are numerous other examples of bad writing, I would ask the folks who liked this movie, which of the giggling, cannibalistic kid-murderers kept the generator running for this good sized town?

bowmanblue 'Come Out to Play' is about a nice young couple who take a romantic holiday to an island. On docking their boat, they find only children, but think nothing of it and proceed into town. However, although all shops are open, not one has an employee working. But they think nothing of it and start helping themselves to food from a café. They go for a walk round the town, but can't find anyone. But they think nothing of it and go to their hotel. However, upon arriving at their hotel, they don't find anyone there. But they think nothing of it and just carry on.This must have something to do with Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' theory as these people are clearly too dumb to deserve to live.Obviously, things finally start to go wrong at just over half way through the film when they finally realise that something is amiss. Then horrific stuff starts to happen, but, by this time, do we really care enough for these people? If you think you might, then give it a go. I, on the other hand, really couldn't see how they wouldn't have twigged sooner that this was not a place to take your holiday.

Foxhell Last night I saw and it was totally unexpectedly great presentation of Horror "Genre". Simple yet great, Acting was superb, From the start until the end you don't wanna skip any single second. There wasn't many characters in this movie as you saw mention above, but those who aren't mention were great as well and they are lots of them. I know my Review don't say much,it isn't deep enough about the movie but what can I say, I like to review as short as simple as I can, but worth reading and easily understandable. As a Horror movies fan I definitely recommend this movie to all Horror fan. Quite honestly I don't wanna see another sequel of this movie because most of the good horror movies sequel are disaster "Example" Silent Hill Part 1 was Great but Part 2 was disaster another movie Resident Evil Part 1 was Great and all other Parts were disaster, Sure they made good fortune but as a Horror fan they were all ridicules. I guess you all got my point. 7.5 I rate this movie.
