If it was in french, does that mean there is another version, completely different than this one, in english? Or was this film originally in french then given english dubbing?

The original language is English, as in this video. The French DVD was dubbed into French, but I put the English audio from an old VHS release onto the video from the French DVD, which had superior picture quality (not that you'd know it from YouTube). There aren't any alternate versions.

@err2005 Hey I know this message is 3 years old but have you see Who can kill a child yet? I own it. It's a reasonably creepy movie. If you like this and COTC I recommend watching it.

@primarci That's not a subliminal message, the car is overheating. Plus, it's not that brief and they show it more than once (you are meant to see it). Subliminal messages happen so quickly that the human brain doesn't consciously see them- which is how they work. Consciously the person doesn't know why they start to feel differently.

@rodrigoraulsuarez They left the end open ended- the crows are following them and there is that "corn" knife stuck in the front of the car and it's overheating and probably going to stall. When I was watching the end I got the impression that they both were doomed and the crows were flying after them as foreshadowing, but we are left to imagine their "sacrifice" which is actually creepier.

I like this better (the acting, the grainy image quality, the way the kids don't look Amish but sort of a weird pagan sect)- I think this is a lot creepier than the 1984 movie and about 100 times scarier than the laughable 2009 remake. (No offense to anyone who liked that, the acting in the 2009 version made me laugh). Thanks so much for posting this paintnothing!

I like the music here.

@jmh88923 Thank you, I have the book somewhere!

@rodrigoraulsuarez in the story both Vicki and Burt die. Vicki is crucified and Burt is killed by the Demon that lives in the corn field.

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

I think in the original the woman dies.

Great ending! I don´t remember the original in the short tale but this one is very good, at least to me.

except for the ending
