October Horror Movie Challenge - Come Out And Play (2012)

Synopsis: Two american tourists go on a vacation to a remote Mexican island. Soon they begin to suspect something sinister and as they find many children and no adults.

The Good: This movie is really creepy. The empty street shots are quite ominous. The score is fantastic as well.

The Bad: This is a messed up flick. There is horrific violence being done by and to children. While it's not extremely gory, it's still disturbing to watch.  Also, it's never explained what caused the children to turn or why they are able to affect others. Going to be honest, that kind of bugged me.

Final Thoughts: This is a Mexican remake of a 1976 Spanish horror film Who Can Kill A Child. I've been wanting to watch that film for ages, but haven't been able to get a hold of a copy.

In Your Game: This is a variation of the stats I did for Children of the Corn.

Hijos De Los Condenados
Armor Class: 12              Attack Damage: By Weapon
Hit Dice: 1/2                     Special: Who Can Kill A Child?
Move:12                           Bonus: +1 to Hit
Attack: 1 per round          HDE:   1

These possessed children can turn others into murderous children simply by touching them. These even works if they touch the stomach of a pregnant woman, though the transferal process takes 3 rounds. Any non-Chaotic adult attempting to attack one of the Hijos De Los Condenados has a 50% chance of being unable to do so that round. Parents are unable to harm their own children and are at disadvantage on on deception checks against them.
