The Child (1977)
5/10
Zombies getting scared by car honking. Abstruse n obscure indeed.
28 July 2019
First saw this in the 80s. Revisited it recently. The isolated house atop a hill surrounded by woods n a misty cemetery is the only good stuff about this lazy film.

It has irritating music throughout. Lingering scene of a curtain n then suddenly an old lady screams as if somebody grabbed her n the next scene she is seen dialing a phone. It has one of the most lousy dream sequence. Ther r two offscreen eye-gouging scenes n two offscreen scenes of faces getting ripped off. Zombies turn up only in the end with lousy make-up who doesn't require beheadings but only loud honking to ward them off. Wait, were they really zombies? In the end credits they r referred as creatures. While a guy fights off the creatures with hammer, axe, gun, kicks, wall nail, wooden planks, metal tin, etc., a gal (with her hair kept open the entire film) keeps on screaming irritatingly. Another annoying aspect is the sudden change of daylight n nite time.
