The Mysterious Makinov Continues His ‘Come Out and Play’ Manifesto
Now available on VOD is Cinedigm Entertainment Group is the mysterious Makinov’s Come Out and Play, a remake of Narciso Ibáñez Serrador’s 1976 Spanish horror Who Can Kill a Child?.
A bit of viral fun began the other day as the masked Makinov has released the first of many video Manifestos. We’ve landed an exclusive second clip where Makinov talks about the film being “released” and what that really means.
In the film, featuring hordes of killer children, “Beth and Francis vacation before the birth of their child. Francis insists on venturing to a more serene island, Beth hesitantly agrees. They set out to a beautiful island, but soon discover it’s mysteriously abandoned, and the only people on the island are children. Beth and Francis are left to uncover the mystery of the disappearances, and a day in paradise quickly turns into a struggle for survival.”
We caught the flick at last September Toronto International Film Festival, and I liked it.

Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
