Trivia:
Several sequences are homages to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963), for example, the image of all the children in the island's village square ready to attack Tom and Evelyn, and the final escape from the island. moreQuotes:
Evelyn: [to Tom] There is something wrong on this island and you're trying to keep it from me. If there is something wrong, then whatever it is, I think we should leave. moreFAQ

Effective, well played horror that somehow became elusive to fans over the years. The story concerns an expecting couple voyaging to a small island who find the adult population has dropped considerably. The children of the island have gone berserk and killed them off...the couple must escape the island and defend themselves against an army of evil brats...this becomes difficult, because...."who can kill a child"? Well directed, and the location filming has a strangely colorless, parched look that adds greatly to the atmosphere(and recalls somewhat the famous flashback scene at the end of "Suddenly Last Summer"). Strongly recommended. 7.5/10
