The best movie you'll never want to watch again. It still haunts me.
Ah yeah, that "The bad guy can't get away with it" clause. I remember that, lol
You mean Return of the Sith
The first one I really remember was AVP. Not sure why that's one that stuck with me.
I liked it, yeah.
The kids getting shot is from Postal and the Steven Seagal shots are from Kill Switch I think
The Bad Seed (1956)
Basically a whole movie of a little girl killing a child for his shoes and attempting to cover up the murder
This scene really disturbed me tooI was recently watching a movie at the theatre and this kid got abducted and tied down. Ok, the camera will cut away and we'll hear his screams, I thought. Nope. They went to town on this little boy who was anywhere between 10-12 years old.Dude was getting stabbed, and screaming his bloodied lil face off. I was so shocked and kinda disgusted? Like, I wasn't disgusted because someone was dying, but rather because I'm not used to seeing a kid die like that in a movie. When did this start happening?
My bad. I forgot I could spoiler the movie title. It wasDoctor Sleep
I like how it's just random-ass lightning too.And then she dies because the Hays Code said evil must always be punished.
The kid being shot and killed in robocop 2 caused a mild panic
huh, I think I remember it because it happens in the first ten minutes.
I mean, it's rare but it's been happening for a while now. Even in some anime too.
That's the first one that came to mind for me
"How much for a kid on a bicycle?"A kid's head exploding as he gets backed over by a car was the main selling point of The Toxic Avenger.
Halloween 2018 showsMichael beginning to strangle a child before cutting away. He also approaches a crying baby in a crib later in the movie, but doesn't harm them.
Think it was both.
It is. Its why I laugh when people mention how amazing The Last of Us was for getting you to care about whatchamacallit. Harming kids is the cheesiest shortcut to emotional resonance in existence. It's one step above killing the girlfriend to motivate the hero.From reading this thread, my impression is that most on-screen child deaths are done to shock the viewer. Though this is not always the case, in the vast majority of cases the child/baby character is disposable.
I'm guessing Mimic too. The It movies have mad violence against children as well.
