Makinov, P la y is a remake of the 1976 Spanish Who Can Kill a Child? My review of that is re curious. Take a look at the n ew trailer for the 201 3 remake below: My review of that is here if you' thriller is a remake of the 1976 Spanish

If you have not seen the 1976 film, the story follows a young couple who v acation on a remote island, only to discov er it has been overrun b y homicidal children. I love the original film, and it has some of the most genuinely disturbing moments I have ev er seen - the best of which are almost ruined by this trailer.





Come Out and Play joins the long list of unnecessary horror remakes , but who knows, it cou ld be decent. I was hoping it would be a relatively loose remake , especially with that title, but this trailer shows me it is practically a scene-for-scene remake. And to be honest, I am leery of any director with one name. Still, despite looking way too m uch like the original (and thu s negating its purpose for exist ence), P lay at least looks beau tiful, and as always, I will keep an open mind until I see it for myse lf. What say you? Is this something you will check o ut?
