Low Budget 70s Horror Flick

I love these old low Budget Horror movies, they can be great, they can be awful but they are never dull. The Child, also know as Hide And Go Kill is the kind of movie that came and went. It was the kind of movie that was usually shown at small theatres, drive Ins and late night TV. I think it got a second life when it came out on video and later DVD,

The movie itself isn't great, the acting is off and you can tell that the actors voices were dubbed in post production, but it does set up the story well and it uses weird sounding music and sounds that gives it a real sense of eerieness,

There are some very tense and frightening scenes especially in the earlier parts of the movie. The rather surreal look does help build a sense of unease and tension.

It's easy to see that this was done on a limited budget, but the look of the zombies are pretty effective.

While the acting is at times, not great, it does have its moments.

If you like 70s horror movies, this might be one for you.
