When they arrive, they find their destination almost entirely deserted, with the exception of a number of children, all of whom are acting strangely.

Directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (El televisor, The House That Screamed), the legendary master of horror dubbed the ‘Spanish Hitchcock’, Who Can Kill A Child? is his undisputed masterpiece, an extreme and unbearably tense work that remains deeply shocking in its disregard for societal taboos. With a cult reputation that has continued to grow among genre aficionados since its release in 1976, Who Can Kill A Child? is now considered not just as a landmark work of Euro-horror, but as one of the greatest horror films ever made (Slant Magazine).
