For a Harry Novak picture and despite some bad acting in spots (namely the girl Rosalie and the old woman), this film possesses an eerie atmosphere that rarely manifests except in certain horror films. The music is preety chilling in parts as well. The part with the jack o lantern is actually moderately clever and should rank alongside the best scare scenes of the more well known horror heavyweights. A real low budget powerhouse.
PLEASE HELP im looking for a movie that is similar of this nature mixed with rosemarys baby theme going on its about a orphaned baby girl who slowly starts killing the familys kids that took her in starting when she is new born baby killing the familys baby and working her way up i was not able to finish this movie and was wondering if anyone knew what i was talking about or what movie it may be it was made in the early 70s maybe late 70s if that helps anyone out
@MrCooshcoosh sorry idk but it sounds good i will keep a look out for the film and tell you if i find it :) do you have aneything els to go on about the film like the girls name in the film ?
Those who like The Child may also like other killer children movies of the 1970's like The Omen, The Exorcist, The Other, The Brood, The Children, Cathy's Curse, Devil Times Five, Island of the Damned, Unman, and others.

LOL !! ... Vitaman30 Is Right All The Way !!....This Movie should Be called : The Teenager Instead...She looks 2 Old....But The Movie Was Not Bad....Only The Title
they're gonna come and hurt you both! hurt you BAD! my parents never liked it when i said that to them when i was younger. i don't think they got the reference
OMG..Thanks for posting this trailer. This movie is so ironic because obviously this movie had potential but only $1.50 budget. LOL! The voice over is to die for - he made you want to go to these movies when you were a child but too young to see them, and finally when you grow up and see it, it's not as spectacular as he made it sound. The winner is the VO guy with these cheap 70's horror films.
The little girl who plays Rosalee is annoying and a very bad actress. The film looks OK, I just wished they used a better actress to play the little girl.
I agree, I would not mind seeing this film remade with an actual child playing the child. I guess they could not find a better actress to play the part so they had to settle for a bad actress. No wonder I never heard of her or seen her in other films she was that bad at playing the child. Have a nice day GoblinXXX
yeah, if Hollywood is going to do remakes, I wish they WOULD do stuff like this that had potential but failed, rather than remake things like THE HAUNTING and DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL that were perfect as they were.
Yeah, but Hollywood is good at making good movies over again, with out looking at older movies with bad acting I hope they do, but I hope they don't make it pg-13.(But I do like the Rosalee in The Company of Wolves better than this one.) They should choose a child who looks angelic maybe they should use a fresh face. If some one does decided to redo it, I hope it's John Carpenter or maybe somebody along those lines, should remake this movie let see if they do....I'll be waiting....

Well, not just every horror movie can turn out to be genuinely scary and the Child proves it once again, its still hilarious as hell as tho. Thanks for posting this up ;)
I think the cheesey titles and trailers add to the old horror movies I love 70s horror. The crap horrors nowadays like saw are just plan awful. 70s horrors are the best like DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS and BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE also THE NIGHT EVELYN ROSE FROM THE GRAVE
I actually like this movie a lot. It's terrible in a way, but very creepy too. For a grade-z drive in movie it's got some stuff in it that works. The actors are all pretty bad, but the child is the worst. If she was even the tiniest bit scary, it might have been more fondly remembered. The trailer doesn't really let on that it's a zombie movie--Rosalie uses telekinesis to resurrect zombies from the local cemetery to do her bidding.
I bought this DVD and this trailer not only got me into it, but it's also the only DVD bonus feature related to the film. It says "2 Hours of Features" on it, but not at all related to this film unfortunately.
I'll admit Rosalie's acting is not the best, but I still find it weird that she never acted before and after this again. Well, hope she enjoyed it when she did, wherever she is now 30 years later.
