Fairly good horror movie

Les Révoltés de l'an 2000 (¿Quién puede matar a un niño?), 1976, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (Who can kill the child?) A couple of British tourists came to a peaceful Spanish island, a strange island The atmosphere of silence quickly became crisis-ridden. They gradually realized that behind the innocent and brilliant smiles of all the children on the island, the mass murder of adults... It was a very good horror film. Before the arrival of the last high-density bloody footage, it succeeded in laying out a progressive atmosphere of horror. In the beginning, in order to prevent the pregnant wife from being frightened, the protagonist could not bear to tell the latter all the truths he saw, which further deepened the emotion of "who believes that the child will do this kind of thing". The whole plot reminds people of Hitchcock's The Birds: the original cute birds suddenly attacked humans wildly, the residents were unbelievable at first, until there were bloody close-ups of the dead, and the whole family held fast in the house...Of course, The Birds ended with a family Successfully drove away, and the fetus in the female protagonist’s belly "mutated" in the film, killing the protagonist. The protagonist was shot to death by an unknown maritime patrol officer passing by while fighting a group of children... Several historical scenes such as concentration camps and the Vietnam War show the tragedy of children in these wars and famines. The whole film seems to depict children's overall revenge against this adult world. At the end, a group of children took off the coast guard’s patrol boat, jokingly and preparing to board the mainland to continue their "play"... I feel that with the current popular routines, it is possible to shoot many sequels to this film, and talk about how this group of children succeeded. How to land in a small town on the shore to gain a foothold, then how to encircle the city in the countryside, how to capture Spain, how to cross the Atlantic Ocean, such as Hollywood... The pure bloodiness of this movie can't be compared with the current torture porn, but watching a group of children is naive With an innocent face, laughing and hanging up an old man's body and stabbing it with a knife, it was another kind of terror. The film was shot in 75 years. The year Franco died, the regime it established was in a state of dying. It can be regarded as an apocalyptic work...
