This week, join us as we discuss the 1977 low-budget oddity - the Child. This flick plays like an amateur cross between Night of the Living Dead, the Omen and that Twilight Zone episode about the family terrorized by its evil kid. Effective in spots (and decidedly not in others), this film even includes proto-Evil Dead techniques in its extra-foggy dreamscape. On this episode: stage-acting for the camera, disorienting camera work, unseen forest creatures, disappearing dogs, poisoned boy scouts, unnecessarily long chase scenes, childhood hit lists, zombie friends, a useless heroine and - of course - one evil child.
