ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

qmtv OK, so production value is super low. The best actor was the main female lead. All others were super poor. What saves this movie is the initial idea, an evil or twisted child with some kind of power to bring forth the dead to kill people. After the initial idea, someone had to hire a writer. That's where it starts to fail. Our female lead was from that are and is returning, but there is no other connection to her to the rest of the story. They should have expanded on her and made some connection to the evil girl, maybe make her the child sister or the real psycho killer, something! The father of the child is also an evil bastard, but the son is normal. We have no background on these characters, what are they doing there? Where do they work? Something! The child, we need some more info, what about school? When we first meet the old lady, her dog attacks the female lead, and a girl pulls the dog back, then both disappear. What the hell was that? Was that the evil girl? There was a Halloween party, but we don't see any other people. OK? Best part was when the little girl, got the axe on the head. There's also a scene when her brother was busting the head of a zombie for 40 times, then he gets pulled in and gets his face ripped off. I also like the fact that the female lead started screaming nonstop, after the car crash and seeing the zombies, till the end of the movie. Very cool.So, we have low production. Story, acting, cinematography, editing, music/sound, lighting, sets, dialogue, dubbing, etc. What saves it is the initial idea. But that is not expanded. You the viewer must fill in the holes. If you don't have the imagination, then this movie will be a 1 star. If you have an incredible imagination, 10 stars. I have a decent imagination, but still I cannot give more than 4 stars.I would rather see movies like this then the crap that Hollywood is pushing in our face, like Star Wars 7, Force Awakens, a truly garbage movie for people who love sugar and plastic surgery. And, I would prefer this movie to any garbage by Dario Argento, especially, the super pile of crap garbage "Suspiria", or his Plumage or Flies movies. Argento sucks.I'd also like to mention that this movie is definitely more entertaining than Dawn of the Dead. I like most viewers have seen that movie many times. In my recent viewing I noticed how bad it was. Go watch it, the story sucks, the acting is horrible, and the zombie makeup is just plain trash.At least with the Child we have something. Imagine if they had the budget for the Force Awakens for the Child. But then again, they could also turn it into another candy mess. I initially gave this 4 stars for the production value, but after reading most of the reviews, I will give this one more viewing and have updated the rating to 5.Update: OK, I just re-watched this again last night. I will raise the rating to 6. Worth checking out. However, beware, you must overlook the dubbing, and the music/sound effects sometimes works, sometimes not. The cinematography and the idea of this film saves it from utter garbage. This movie should be re-edited and cut sections of lingering boredom. Also, there should be a re-dubbing. The musical ideas that work can be kept, some other ideas should be trashed. Taking the cinematography with new editing and audio tracks can easily turn this into a 7 maybe 8 stars. There are some great moments here. Check it out.

eggartrealty I haven't seen a movie where the acting is bad as the job done in "The Child." This is truly an amateur production.Overpoweringly bad music, scratchy sound, and horrible lighting. This feels like a college production movie. Any horror fan could guess what's about to happen and even what the characters are about to say.It's unfortunate that the movie is really that bad - I was hoping it would at least be cheesy in a good way but with the script and these actors there's just no way for this one to be enjoyable.Here's hoping people don't waste their time on this one. It's available for free on youtube - thankfully, I didn't have to even waste a netflix choice on it.

lovecraft231 Rosilan (Rosalie Cole) is a girl with some problems-like her psychic abilities that allow her to talk to her dead mother, levitate objects, and raise the dead.From producer Harry ("Axe","Rituals", "Hitch-Hike To Hell" and plenty of soft core flicks) Novak comes "The Child", an uneven but still watchable take on the Zombie movie. The movie itself takes a while to get going, and like many movies of this type, the acting is terrible (especially Rosalie Cole, whose character is too much of a brat to be interesting or threatening), and the electronic score by Rob Wallace is grating.Still, when the final 20 minutes kick in, the movie kicks up. There's some nice moments, and the zombies themselves, while not Romero or Fulci levels, are still pretty creepy. The make up effects are also pretty good, especially considering the movie's budget."The Child" is an alright Bad Seed movie, only with the supernatural and the living dead instead of a killer kid. Don't go into it expecting much, and you might sort of enjoy it. It would make a nice double bill movie with "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things", I'll tell you that.

HumanoidOfFlesh Alicianne is hired to look after creepy 11-year-old Rosalie in her family's remote and gloomy house.It soon becomes clear that Rosalie has psychic powers and can make things move just by thinking about it-and she can also use those same powers to raise the dead,reanimating corpses in a nearby cemetery to take revenge after her mentally ill mother dies...A spooky and atmospheric opening scene gives way to a sluggish and wholly predictable zombie movie that has little new to add to an already over-crowded sub-genre.Technically,it's a mess and the acting is as dire as you'd expect,yet it does occasionally manage to display flashes of that creepiness that informed the opening scene."The Child" was released by exploitation king Harry Novak("Axe"),so fans of low-budget 70's horror should be pleased.This film has its share of flaws,but give it a chance.7 out of 10.
