Fiends! The kind folks at Cinedigm’s Flatiron Film Company have provided Destroy the Brain three copies of the new film Come Out and Play to giveaway to our loyal readers!

Based on Juan José Plans’ novel, “El Juego De Los Ninos,” Come Out And Play is Makinov’s directorial debut. The elusive director, who wears a mask on set and refuses to reveal his first and last name, forged a new identity after surviving a near death experience. To this day, Makinov’s true identity remains a mystery.

In his first bone-chilling feature film, Beth (Vinessa Shaw, 3:10 To Yuma) and Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Damages), a happy young couple expecting a child, have traveled to Mexico for a romantic getaway. Francis insists on venturing by boat to a more serene locale; Beth hesitantly agrees. As they dock on a sun-kissed beach where children are playing and giggling, everything seems perfect at first.

Title: Come Out and Play Cinedigm Director: Makinov Screenwriter: Makinov from Juan José Plans’s novel El juego de los niños Cast: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Vinessa Shaw Screened at: Review 1, NYC, 3/5/13 Opens: March 22, 2013 Though “Come Out and Play,” a remake of the 1976 Spanish movie “Who Can Kill a Child?”(which has all of one review on rottentomatoes.com), is virtually without plot, it can be compared with three works of far more complex import. One such work is Tennessee Williams’s play “Suddenly Last Summer,” made by Joseph L. Mankiewicz into a movie in 1960 starring Elizabeth Taylor and Katherine Hepburn, one which put gave the great playwright membership in [ Read More ]

*there are some spoilers below. Director: Makinov. Writers: Makinov and Juan José Plans. Cast: Daniel Giménez Cacho, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Vinessa Shaw. Come Out and Play is a recent entry in the killer kid horror category. And, the film's background is just as interesting as the film itself. Come Out and Play was developed by first time director Makinov, who only appears in public with a red, hood-like mask. Makinov used this mask throughout the film's shooting schedule. And, the film's directing techniques are almost as creative as the director himself. Shot with a diverse shooting style, Come Out and Play is a curious film that is entertaining throughout. Makinov is truly a unique filmmaker. This director has created a manifesto, in which he explains his view of life and critiques the lifestyle choices of others. Apparently, Makinov does not like modernism and he has Ludite leanings. Also, this filmmaker...

There have been a host of killer children films to come out over the years. There are classics like The Omen (1976). And, Tom Shankland's The Children (2008) was decent. However, little tykes rarely seem threatening to this film fan. A horde of killer children will be released in Makinov's debut film Come Out and Play. This film is a remake of an earlier film titled Who Can Kill a Child? (1976). Based on he novel El Juego de los Niños, Come Out and Play envisions a group of murderous children waiting for adult victims on an isolated island. Let the chuckles or screams begin with the first trailer for Come Out and Play, hosted below. Release Date: 2013. Director: Makinov. Writers: Makinov and Juan José Plans. Cast: Daniel Giménez Cacho and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Vinessa Shaw. The first trailer for Come Out and Play is here: Source: Come Out and Play...

What's new is always old, and in this recurring column, I'll be taking a look at the classic genre movies that have influenced today's new releases. In honor of Lynne Ramsay's creepy-kid drama We Need to Talk About Kevin, this week it's Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's cult classic Who Can Kill a Child?

Violence is a dangerous inheritance in Who Can Kill a Child?, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's haunting 1976 horror story about childhood malice and adults' compromised response to it. Based on Juan José Plans' novel, and spiritually emulated a year later by Stephen King's Children of the Corn, Serrador's film opens with a grim newsreel-montage credit sequence of atrocities from WWII, the India-Pakistan and Nigerian civil wars, and Korea and Vietnam, with a narrator and onscreen text taking great pains to lay out the hundreds of thousands of kid casualties in each conflict. That...

Sometimes it is just a better idea to stay on the mainland. If you're new to a certain area, don't go gallivanting off with your spouse to some mysterious island or cornfield where adults are strangely absent. It never bodes well.

Bloody Disgusting is reporting that David Alcalde, director of the short "Happy Birthday to You", will be at the helm of the remake of Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's disturbing Who Can Kill a Child? (review). This info also appears on IMDB with Alcalde getting screenplay credit with David Muñoz. The title, which could change, is listed as In the Playground. It isn't really as snappy, eh?

The original film was based off a novel by Juan José Plans, but it changed around a few things and omitted the cause of the children's madness all together. Does this mean Mr. Alcalde and crew may try to make a more faithful adaptation?...
