Title: Come Out and Play<\/p>\n

Cinedigm<\/p>\n

Director: Makinov<\/p>\n

Screenwriter: Makinov from Juan Jos\u00e9 Plans\u2019s novel El juego de los ni\u00f1os<\/p>\n

Cast: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Vinessa Shaw<\/p>\n

Screened at: Review 1, NYC, 3\/5\/13<\/p>\n

Though \u201cCome Out and Play,\u201d a remake of the 1976 Spanish movie \u201cWho Can Kill a Child?\u201d(which has all of one review on rottentomatoes.com), is virtually without plot, it can be compared with three works of far more complex import. One such work is Tennessee Williams\u2019s play \u201cSuddenly Last Summer,\u201d made by Joseph L. Mankiewicz into a movie in 1960 starring Elizabeth Taylor and Katherine Hepburn, one which put gave the great playwright membership in the hearts of horror mavens. The play and movie are about a gay man who uses his sexy cousin to draw out young men in the Spanish town of Cabeza de Lobo whereupon he would proposition them, offering money, which some accepted. But the Spanish boys followed the young man, Sebastian Venable, killed him, and ate his flesh, which, when witnessed by Sebastian\u2019s cousin caused her to go insane and to become a candidate for lobotomy. Another is William Golding\u2019s novel \u201cLord of the Flies,\u201d made into a movie by Peter Brooks in 1963, about a group of boys who, absent all adults, turn savage against one another. In a more tangential way, Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s \u201cThe Birds\u201d features the title characters as a murderous lot that swarm around human beings and peck at them unmercifully.<\/p>\n

No, Makinov is no Williams or Hitchcock or Brooks: in fact he\u2019s a weird fellow who sold this, his first movie, to Cinedigm after its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival\u2019s Midnight Madness. Makinov is a Belarus-born director who keeps his anonymity by wearing a bag on his head and who proclaims as his manifesto that the world is full of pain, we\u2019re all going to die, so isn\u2019t it silly to look at Facebook and at movies about heroes who save the world? In the film\u2019s final credits, Makinov dedicates \u201cCome Out and Play\u201d to \u201cthe martyrs of Stalingrad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story, such as it is, features a young couple, Beth (Vinessa Shaw) and Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), who must have ignored U.S. State Department advisories about Mexico, to wit: \u201cCrime in Mexico continues to occur at a high rate and is frequently violent.\u201d Beth, who is seven months\u2019 pregnant, and Francis, her husband, are looking for a remote, romantic getaway, one that lands them on an island (filmed in Mexico\u2019s Holbox Island, known for birding and whale watching) but one that is anything but far from the madding crowd). They\u2019re clueless, not really knowing how to get there, though they rent a motorboat and are unfortunately not lost. They see a bunch of kids swimming and horsing around, but find that the inner parts of the land are without human population, until they come upon an old man who is pummeled to death by a band of kids\u2014murdered with knives, rocks, canes, and fists, a necklace of ears and maybe eyes presented to a giggly girl. <\/p>\n

Seeking to leave this paradise as quickly as they can, they find their exit barred by large groups of young boys and girls, who in some scenes stand completely still in a football-like formation as though they are human remakes of Hitchcock\u2019s ravenous birds. After witnessing a few more murders, Beth and Francis wonder whether they will be able to live another day, their romantic adventure complicated even more by Beth\u2019s going into labor in a shack which they used to keep the little monsters at bay.<\/p>\n

Makinov knows how to direct kids, a difficult job when dealing with experienced child actors, even more so when directing a bunch of non-professional extras rented out by their parents on Holbox Island. They know how to giggle (when stabbing and bludgeoning adults) and to look deadly serious (when threatening forms of life at least a decade older than they). One mystery is why they let a native woman alone, the only adult to escape the mayhem. Vinessa Shaw and Ebon Moss-Bacharach are solid in their roles of innocents abroad, enjoying a reasonable chemistry. Given the graphic, bloody activities to which they and we bear witness, \u201cCome Out and Play\u201d makes for a decent enough picture targeted to the appropriate horror demos.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome Out and Play\u201d is in English and in Spanish with easy to read English titles. The Spanish edition of Juan Jos\u00e9 Plans\u2019s novel El juego de los ni\u00f1os, is available at Amazon.com.<\/p>\n

Makinov\u2019s manifesto can be viewed at Youtube.com<\/a>. You may find it scarier than the movie.<\/p>\n
