Who Can Kill a Child? (1976) Prepped for Blu-ray
Boutique label Mondo Macabro announced that their long anticipated Blu-ray release of Narciso Ibáñez Serrador’s cult, horror thriller Who Can Kill a Child? (¿Quién puede matar a un niño?, 1976) will be available for pre-order next month in a special red case limited edition with reversible artwork, reproduction lobby cards, and a booklet. This well-loved Spanish horror tells the tale of a couple of English tourists who travel to an island where all the children have gone cuckoo-bananas and are murdering the adults.
If you are interested in the limited edition, keep an eye out on the Mondo Macabro Facebook page or their Big Cartel store for the pre-order to go live, as their red case editions tend to sell out pretty fast. Of course, if you miss out on the limited edition release, a standard release will follow a few months later (albeit minus the booklet, reversible artwork, and reproduction lobby cards). Here is the pre-announcement announcement regarding the release:
At long last – what you’ve all been waiting for! WHO CAN KILL A CHILD is coming to Blu-ray soon! The pre-order will arrive sometime next month (keep checking back, we’ll have a firm date on that soon), but in the meantime here are the two covers for the limited edition plus all the specs for the disc and the packaging!
Limited to this red case edition will be a reversible cover with both images unique to this version, a booklet featuring a brand new essay by horror film expert Lee Gambin, and a series of postcards reproducing the US lobby cards!
The region-free disc itself will feature:
- Brand new 4K restoration from the original negative
- Two different English language tracks – the Spanish export version and the US ‘ISLAND OF THE DAMNED’ dub – as well as the Spanish language track with optional English subtitles
- Two options for the opening credits; the longer ‘mondo’-style opening of the Spanish/export version and the shorter US ‘ISLAND OF THE DAMNED’ opening
- Brand new audio commentary by Kat Ellinger and Samm Deighan of the Daughters of Darkness podcast
- Brand new interview with horror historian and critic Kim Newman
- Archival Spanish TV documentary on the film
