This seems like the one theme in entertainment that's still seen as somewhat off-limits. I know it shocks me when it happens.

It was brutal in Mimic and Sleepy Hollow. Does anyone know of any other instances?

PS. That scene with the little Mexican girl on The Shield was one of the most twisted images I've ever seen.

and

of course the hidden gem called

JUDE.

Edit: a movie with a kid dying AND Kate Winslet's tatas. Nice combo.

 

[Mike Works]

Surprised no one's mentioned Enemy at the Gates yet.

 

[Paradox]

Hmm I just watched the 1st ep from 'Dead Like Me' for the umpteenth time. And yeah, a kid dies.

 

[RiZ III]

Them - Intro was kinda brutal imo

The Japanese sci-fi flick Returner.

The villain shoots the kid on the head....(off-screen but you still can tell)
Speaking of which, anyone know if this scene was removed in the US?

The X-Files (I think)
Dawn of the Dead '04

Battle Royale?

 

[Gattsu25]

The X-Files' Peacock Bros. episode is the single greatest thing that happened to the fox channel

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Kids"

 

[hobbitx]

"Fresh", there was probably more child deaths in this then there was adult deaths.

What an average movie, though. Epitomized average.

BattleStar Galactica on SciFi Channel.

To be honest, that kid was really asking for it. You just don't act that cute in a hopeless situation and think you can get away with it.

You just DON'T.

 

[belgurdo]

Pay It Forward...pretty lame way to die too

I don't remember it, so I assume it was.

And yeah, Pay It Forward had the lamest child death ever.

 

[XS+]

Wanna know what movie sucked rocky mountain oysters? The Returner. Anyway..

American History X
City of God

 

[TAJ]

Jaws and The Toxic Avenger were the first to come to mind besides Mimic. I remember some kids getting owned in Piranha, but I don't remember if they actually got killed.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Most of the ones I've seen have just been mentioned already but...

Die Hard 2: Die Harder
21 Grams
Braveheart (I think?)

 

[Ecrofirt]

The Professional, aka Leon.

I hated the beginning. Good lord.

I can't stand when people kill kids in cold blood in a movie.

 

[TAJ]

I've heard Final Destination 2 has brutal child death, but I haven't seen it.

 

[Dead]

Final Destination has that scene where the kid is crushed by glass, yeah.

pretty cool scene too

 

[Odoul]

The 1st Final Destination was a much better movie. But the second was true masterpiece in the field of violence and gore. I saw it with my sister and she walked out. But that shit was SO over the top I don't know how anyone could confuse it for reality and be grossed out.

 

[Dead]

meh FD2 wasnt THAT gory...for a mainstream teen horror flick maybe

 

[Wario64]

Final Destination 2 was friggin hilarious

 

[Pachinko]

Oh it was messy, FD2.

The best death the the elaborate wily E coyote style setup of the smoking girl in the minivan after it crashes. I won't go further but man, I was loving it becuase of its utter ridiculousness.

Lord Of The F'N Flies


PIGGY!

Read the book first.

 

[Morbo]

From Dusk till Dawn.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Which version, the black and white, or the color?

I've seen the scene in both. I don't remember which one it was, but Piggy totally got pwned in one of them. Freakish stuff.

Yeah those Rube Goldberg deaths were cool.

So far this thread has given the end away to American History X, Pay it Forward, and (new to me) Road to Perdition.

 

[Ecrofirt]

From Dusk till Dawn.

Which part? I don't remember a kid dying?

 

[Dead]

Which part? I don't remember a kid dying?

the chinese kid, the son of harvey keitel

21 Grams

Off-camera or implied child deaths don't count.

 

[Ecrofirt]

There's a bunch of young kids in American History X. An entire high school, in fact.

 

[Ecrofirt]

the chinese kid, the son of harvey keitel

Hmm.. I wonder why I don't remember that. What part of the movie did it happen it? Was it in the bar at the end, or some place earlier?

 

[jobber]

The color version. He dies better in the movie version than the book.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Indeed.

Was the color one where the rock basically split his head open?
