Tiff’s Midnight Madness program turned 25 this year, and for two and half decades, the hardworking programers have gathered some of the strangest, most terrifying, wild, intriguing and downright entertaining films from around the world. From dark comedies to Japanese gore-fests and indie horror gems, the Midnight Madness program hasn’t lost its edge as one the leading showcases of genre cinema. In its 25-year history, Midnight Madness has introduced adventurous late-night moviegoers to such cult faves as Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused and Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. But what separates Midnight Madness from, say, Montreal’s three and half week long genre festival Fantasia, is that Tiff selects only ten films to make the cut. In other words, these programmers don’t mess around. Last week I decided that I would post reviews of my personal favourite films that screened in past years. And just like the Tiff programmers,...

Come Out and Play
Written by Makinov
Directed by Makinov
Mexico, 2012
The remake debate rages on in the world of film to this very day. Although at this point it’s not much of a debate, the majority of film lovers have had enough of remakes. While that is a respectable position, it’s not an argument that holds up to any intense scrutiny. The landscape of film has always been built upon unoriginal projects. Whether it’s a remake, an adaptation, a sequel, or a prequel has no actual bearing on the quality of the film. What matters is what the people behind the film put into its production. Come Out and Play is a remake, as well as an adaptation of a novel,¿Quién puede matar a un niño?. Such practicalities aside, what matters most is whether the movie’s any good. Specifically: does Come Out and Play...

New Indie of the Month There are any number of reasons for horror buffs to check out Come Out and Play (Flatiron Film Company). For one thing, it’s a remake of the creepy Spanish cult flick Who Can Kill a Child, a pre–Children of the Corn B movie about tourists on an island inhabited entirely by homicidal kids. What also makes Come Out and Play so compelling is its mysterious provenance; it’s directed by someone who goes by the name Makinov, and this filmmaker wears a mask not just in personal appearances and interviews but even on the set as well. Whatever Makinov is doing, it’s working; this movie was produced by Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna’s production company, and the cast’s adults include Vinessa Shaw (Eyes Wide Shut), Ebon...

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.

Mononymous writer-director Makinov’s 2012 thriller “Come Out and Play” only works if you could never in your wildest dreams consider killing a kid if your life was in serious danger. Call me cold and callous, but I’d chuck a child into the nearest river if the nasty little brat was attempting to murder me. Although I’m sure the act would likely cause serious emotional damage, but when it comes to survival, even a five-year-old boy isn’t above getting crushed when push comes to shove. If you found any part of this opening passage to be offensive, then chances are “Come Out and Play” is going to give you nightmares for decades. Makinov’s movie is a retelling of director Narciso Ibanez Serrador’s 1976 shocker “Who Can Kill a Child?” Unfortunately, the filmmaker doesn’t do anything remarkably different with the material. It’s just the same old thing with brand new faces.

The Belarusian director of Come Out and Play (2012) - released on DVD on 6 May - is something of an eccentric figure.

To celebrate the DVD release of the eccentric Makinov's Come Out and Play, we have Three copies of the film to offer out to our horror-loving readers, courtesy of Metrodome Distribution.

I'm So Excited (15)
(Pedro Almodóvar, 2012, Spa) Javier Cámara, Raúl Arévalo, Carlos Areces. 90 mins
Almodóvar responds to his country's economic woes with camp hysteria and Carry On humour. In many ways this airborne disaster farce – anarchic, absurdist, garishly stylish and gleefully debauched – is a return to the Spanish auteur's subversive roots. But there's a serious subtext to the silliness, and the metaphors are brought back down to earth for a satisfying landing.
The Eye Of The Storm (15)
(Fred Schepisi, 2011, Aus) Charlotte Rampling, Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis. 119 mins
The imminent death of Rampling's matriarch throws an aristocratic family's dysfunction into relief in this Aussie drama, whose overstuffed story is redeemed by three watchable leads.

The Impossible
Making a film of any real-life disaster is a thankless task filled with pitfalls. Indeed, the title here could just as easily apply to the actual task of production. The decision to tell this story from the point of view of a holidaying western family trying to survive the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami drew criticism that it ignored the thousands of local lives that were destroyed. But their story is as valid as anyone's; this isn't, as was suggested many times, mere "grief tourism". Besides, without the star power of Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor it's unlikely it would have been made at all, certainly not with a budget that allows such terrifying spectacle – the tsunami itself, and the devastation it wreaks – in the form of some incredibly realistic effects work.

What with the recent Evil Dead and Maniac adaptations, it seems that horror remakes are all the range at present, and now the conspicuously named Makinov has offered his own take on the 1976 Spanish feature Who Can Kill a Child? Though the filmmakers very own mysterious presence is even more chilling than the film that he has created – as he directs from behind a mask, with his identity unwaveringly sealed.
We delve into the lives of a happily married couple, Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and his pregnant wife Beth (Vinessa Shaw), who when on holiday together in Mexico, decide to venture out to a beautiful, remote island for a few days, hoping to catch up with some alone time before the birth of their first child. However upon their arrival, they are greeted to almost too much intimacy, as there seems to be very few people in the area, with only...

★★☆☆☆ The Belarus-born director of new horror Come Out and Play (2012) is something of an eccentric figure. After a near-death experience whilst shooting a documentary on Huichol shamanism in Mexico, he forged himself a new identity; Makinov (no first name required). He now only appears clad in a red hood, meaning that both the public and his collaborators are left none the wiser about the man behind the mask. With reinvention and mystery vital parts of his new persona, it's fitting that both elements play a crucial role in his directorial debut, a remake of Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's cult classic Who Can Kill a Child? (1976).
Whilst on holiday in Mexico ahead of the birth of their first child, Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) convinces his wife, Beth (Vinessa Shaw), to take a boat-trip out to a beautiful tropical island. Despite not having enough fuel to get them back to the mainland, they...

Based on the book El juego de los niños, which spawned the 1976 killer-kid flick Who Can Kill a Child?, (of which this is essentially a direct remake) Come Out and Play is another exercise in the futility of horror remakes – this time from a director who hides his identity behind a red hood “…in an effort to enforce his personal vision of a cinema that detaches itself from the ego-driven model of the director” (at least according to the notes that accompanied the screening of the film at Tiff.

It seems like only last year that the original V/H/S marauded its way into cinemas — maybe because it was. But the busy beavers behind that found footage horror anthology have already readied a sequel, the Sundance-screened V/H/S/2.
This time around, the roster of directing talent boasts Edúardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale of Blair Witch Project fame, Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre) and Gareth Huw Evans (The Raid), Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun), and Simon Barrett and Adam Wingard, who really have been busy beavers, given their excellent home invasion horror-comedy You’re Next debuts August 23.

I recently saw a screening of the excellent home invasion horror-comedy You’re Next and, for reasons which will become abundantly clear when the film hits cinemas on August 23, have had the Dwight Twilley Band’s why-was-this-never-a-hit? soft-rock classic “Looking For the Magic” on repeat in my head ever since. The movie’s first trailer features no Twilley — making highly ironic use of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” instead — and gives little indication as to the darkly hilarious nature of director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett’s film. But the clip does accurately tease the large amount of nerve-rending...

There's something about children that makes their addition to horror films so creepy. Perhaps it's got to do with the inherent innocence that each child has, having not yet been corrupted or jaded by life's callousness and disappointments. They have nothing but happiness, hope and wonder ahead of them. Or at least they should. But what if they didn't? What if some children, under that guise of innocence and purity, harbored a cold-blooded and murderous apathy?
There are a handful of great horror films in what I call the "Creepy Kid" subgenre: The Shining (remember the twins?), The Exorcist, The Bad Seed, The Omen, The Ring and a 1976 Spanish film called Who Can Kill A Child?

In the new horror movie Come Out and Play a holidaying couple, played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Lola Versus) and Vinessa Shaw (2006’s The Hills Have Eyes), visit an island off the coast of Mexico where they discover the local children have murdered the adults. But the most bizarre aspect of the film, which began its platform release on March 22 and is currently available on VOD, is the identity of its director, who goes by the mono-moniker of “Makinov” and refuses to reveal his face or real name.
Come out and Play debuted last September at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.

2012, Mexico
Narciso Ibañez Serrador’s 1976 cult classic Who Can Kill a Child?, a film adapted from Juan Jose Plans’s novel, is arguably one of the best Spanish horror films ever made. Due to haphazard distribution and saddled with a number of other titles (including Island of the Damned and Death is Child’s Play), Serrador’s film barely surfaced. Despite the limited exposure, the film acquired a devoted following. Horror aficionados passed around bootleg VHS copies and occasionally the film would appear on late night television until it would receive an uncut release on DVD in 2007.
Come Out and Play is the English-language remake of that film, helmed by Makinov, the elusive director who refuses to disclose his true identity. He began his career as a focus puller in Russia, and later traveled to Mexico to direct documentary films on Huichol shamanism.

Title: Come Out and Play Director: Makinov Starring: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Vinessa Shaw, Daniel Giménez Cacho There’s a unique, chilly vibe that hangs over “Come Out and Play,” an unnerving, humid slice of elemental horror that definitely has nothing to do with the old song of the same name by the Offspring. Summoning up disparate recollections of George Romero, “Children of the Corn” and even, fleetingly, Michelangelo Antonioni’s “The Passenger,” this artful genre entry works the mind like a punching bag before finally playing a hand that, narratively, isn’t as much of a winner. The odd story behind this film (dedicated to the martyrs of Stalingrad!) and its singularly named anonymous director, [ Read More ]

With a healthy list of credits spanning studio fare (“Mona Lisa Smile,” “Stealth”), television (“Damages,” HBO’s “John Adams”) and the independent arena (“Breaking Upwards,” “Higher Ground,” “Lola Versus”), Ebon Moss-Bachrach is a quintessential talented character actor — able to swing effortlessly and, more importantly, believably from genre to genre. In the unusual new horror film “Come Out and Play,” alongside Vinessa Shaw, he plays one half of a happy couple who go to Mexico for a romantic getaway, and end up stranded on an island full of murderous children. It’s based on Juan José Plan’s 1976 Spanish film “El Juego De Niños,” but the parallel story of the movie’s production may be just [ Read More ]

Makinov’s Come Out and Play is a remake of Who Can Kill a Child? Aka Island of the Damned. Knowing this is imperative before you begin watching it as you might feel that the story conveyed in Come Out and Play may otherwise convey a novel concept. The name has been changed to protect the innocent and maybe detach itself firmly from the shocking original film that has become somewhat of a cult classic child horror film over the years. As with any remake the question arises, “does this add anything to the concept that was not in the original film?” This translates loosely into, “why the Hell did they make a remake of a classic, cult film or not?” I want to tell you that you have a reason to prefer Come Out and Play over its predecessor, but I don’t think that’s in the cards today.

Who in the hell is Makinov? The single-named director, who has appeared online in masked garb speaking power to his vague filmmaking manifesto, has placed his name all over “Come Out And Play,” an overly respectful remake of the infamous '70s cult chiller “Who Can Kill A Child?” The film opens with a smash cut not unlike a Michael Mann film, before eventually ignoring all credits and spotlighting the film’s title across the screen in huge font: “Makinov’s Come Out And Play.” When the film closes on a would-be shocker ending, the screen-filling credit is an offhanded “Made By” and then, in bulleted lettering, “M-a-k-i-n-o-v.” All this swagger despite the film being a carbon copy of a horror movie from almost forty years old ago. The original “Who Can Kill A Child?” is a down and dirty chiller where a vacationing couple happen upon an island they discover to be largely abandoned.

Actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach has been doing his thing around Hollywood, showing up in a pretty decent array of material, but no previous work our heroic actor has ever done could prepare him for a leading role in Makinov’s Come Out And Play. Playing the lead character Francis, Ebon has to face off against an island full of murderous children, all the while protecting his pregnant wife played by Vinessa Shaw. Talk about the vacation from hell.
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Ebon and talk shop with the actor, because you can never pass up an interview with an actor on such an absurd movie. Join our conversation as Ebon and I talk about what sets Makinov’s remake aside from the original Who Could Kill A Child?, the physical and emotional demands of such a taxing role, and just how Ebon was able to deal...

If you are yet to encounter the mysterious Makinov, please allow us to introduce you. The masked man has just put another to-camera diatribe online, expressing his distaste at the idea that his film, Come Out And Play, might find itself playing amongst the multiplex fodder of the capitalist pigdogs.Who is Makinov? That's the question providing a modest bump to the publicity of his small movie. According to his own legend, he started out as a focus-puller in Russia before moving onto directing documentaries. Then a near-death experience / possible bad peyote trip shifted his own focus to horror, because cinema should teach us about pain, and we need to abandon our mobile phones and realise that we're just made of blood. Or something.Anyway, the film he's made, as we said, is Come Out And Play, a remake of Narciso Ibanez Serrador's 1976 Spanish shocker Who Can Kill A Child?...

Come Out and Play was directed by the mysterious masked director Makinov, and is based on the 1976 Spanish horror film, El Juego De Niños. The movie is now available on VOD and digital services, and I was given the opportunity to submit a handful of questions to Makinov for a Q&A feature.
Thank you for taking the time to talk with Daily Dead. You’ve said in the past that cinema should teach us about pain. Why did you feel that updating El Juego De Niños was the project you should move forward with as your first film and lesson on pain?
Makinov: Real change is painful and this film is about it. A revolution is happening unexpected. Children are taking over violently, youth being preserved by a sort of abortion of adulthood. What happens in the film is the seed of utopia, Beth and Francis the sacrificial lambs,...

Give any 13-year-old a FlipCam, a quart of fake blood, and two wide-eyed tourists traversing Mexico, and he could probably make a better movie than the south-of-the-border horror remake Come Out and Play. This killer-tots endeavor is crass, sloppy, and chock-full of fatigued horror tropes. From the standpoint of any layperson who has ever seen a film, Come Out and Play is just insulting.
The director, Makinov, who in real life apparently walks around with a red bag over his head, sets the film during carnival season, when dopey Francis and wet-napkin Beth are vacationing.
Francis speaks Spanish with perfect fluency; however, despite this, he has no knowledge of Spanish customs and is blissfully ignorant of that fact that carnival is a loud occasion. So in search of tranquility, he rents a boat and sets sail without a tour guide to a tiny island where he and his wife can siesta.

Child characters in horror movies are always a mixed bag, but more times than not they’re safe. I can only think of a handful of horror movies brave enough to brutalize innocent children stuck in the latest monster attack, and just as scarce are the films which promote children as the evil forces behind the horror. Typically children can go hide in a closet or be rescued by more adept adult characters. Then Narciso Ibáñez Serrador came along and proposed the morally repulsive question Who Can Kill A Child?, asking audiences exactly that, and some thirty years later director Makinov is once again tormenting straight-laced audiences with his 2013 remake Come Out And Play.
But while Serrador paved the way for directors like Makinov to expand upon his original playtime mentality, Makinov made the sad mistake of disappointing original fans with nothing but a shot for shot remake of the 1972 madness.

*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...

Remaking a classic horror movie, even when it's little-known among the general populace, is always a dicey proposition, simply because people who love the original really, really love the original, and woe betide the filmmaker who doesn't make good choices in a new version. Directed by the single-named Makinov ,Come Out and Play is based on Who Can Kill a Child? (1976); as in the original, a married couple (Vinessa Shaw and Ebon Moss-Bachrach) arrive at a lovely vacation spot, hoping to enjoy a peaceful respite before the lady gives birth, only to discover that their imagined paradise is filled with murderous children. When it debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall, our own Kurt Halfyard was not impressed: When you remake these...

Modern horror movies have made a ton of money working off the assumption that little kids are creepy. What would happen, then, if an entire town’s worth of the little shits suddenly became murderous and started attacking respectable, fully-grown folk in their own homes? This is the question that Come Out and Play, the new horror film from the mysterious and masked director known only as Makinov, asks and explores. The basic story here is that a young married couple played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Vinessa Shaw travel by boat to a beautiful and secluded island, only to find that something has gone terribly wrong with the small town on said island once they get there. The streets are deserted, other than a creepy little kid or two peeking around a corner every once in a while, and no one seems to be in charge of anything. Answers finally come when they see a pack of...

Come Out and Play, the remake of controversial 1976 Spanish horror film Who Can Kill a Child? (aka El Juego De Niños), raised some goosebumps on the festival circuit, and it's now on track for an official theatrical release. Directed by the Belarus-born filmmaker who goes by the single name “Makinov,” the film revolves around an expecting couple (Vinessa Shaw & Ebon Moss-Bachrach) whose idyllic vacation becomes a battleground when they find themselves trapped in an isolated Mexican village whose adult residents have apparently been slaughtered by their own children... and they soon find out that they're next on the kill list.
Come Out and Play is slated for theatrical release on March 22nd. In the meantime, if you want to learn more about this bizarre guy Makinov, the director (who disguises his identity behind creepy red hood) describes his creative M.O. in this video manifesto:...

Come Out and Play, a film produced by Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna’s company Canana, is an intriguing little chiller, coming out in March through Cinedigm, that I’m looking forward to checking out. The trailer reveals the movie’s promising narrative hook — the children on a remote island are killing all who cross their path — but what really grabbed my attention was the manifesto recorded by Come Out and Play‘s director, the single-monikered Makinov. My favorite line is, “I believe in the mystery of the spirit. That’s why I want to scream at the stupid person that keeps checking photos …...

Makinov is mysterious. He is angry, red-hooded and would like cinema to reflect the pain he feels in his Dark Forest. Suspect, then, that he should release upon the world a boring, suspense-free and stunningly unprovocative beat-for-beat remake of Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's killer kid classic Who Can Kill A Child? I took particular issue with the film out of last fall's Fantastic Fest, finding it almost offensively uninteresting, with his video blog/manifesto/Blackberry-crushing tirade just icing on the cake.
Regardless of Makinov and his goofy persona, Come Out And Play, about a couple's vacation on a Mexican island overrun with bloodthirsty children is on its way. The film is out March 22, 2013. You can see an early trailer below, and read Fango's review here.

Before seeing Come Out and Play, the remake of Who Can Kill a Child?, at Fantastic Fest last fall, an audience was treated to a video introduction from the director, known only as "Makinov." Apparently, this dude directs while wearing a hood.
That introduction - known as "Makinov Manifesto" - hit the web and you can watch it inside.
See! The destruction of a Blackberry! Watch! As Makinov details his disgust of "seeing stupid, modern life." Laugh! At the silliness of it all. You would think after watching this that Come Out and Play would be a dangerous lil' film...but it's not.
The redo is opening March 22nd. Look for it on VOD tomorrow (February 12th).

It’s no big secret I love horror films, but 2012 hasn’t been a great year. In my top ten, three films carry over from 2011, two won’t be released until 2013, two are animated and another isn’t much of a horror film. With that said, 2012 gave us Berberian Sound Studio and Cabin In The Woods, and for that, I am forever grateful. Here is a list of the 21 horror films from 2012 I liked best.

#1: Berberian Sound Studio

UK, 2012
Berberian Sound Studio reminds us of the power of sound over the visual image, and can surely join the ranks of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation and Brian DePalma’s Blow Out as an absorbing appreciation of sound design. But both thematically and visually, Berberian is more of a descendant of the school of David Lynch and Roman Polanski. As things get increasingly,...
