Can anyone think of a movie that actually shows a kid getting killed?

Question

and not just like dieing in the hospital or something, but actually shows someone get shot or stabbed or something.

(be specific and describe it)

Answer 1

pay it forward

Answer 2

Sad that movies are made with children getting killed, but I do remember watching Nicholas Cage's movie called War Lords I think. Or something similar to that. I felt very uncomfortable after seeing a whole town get murdered because things like this really do happen. If I had known children were going to be victims in the movie, I would not have seen it.

Answer 3

There are many films:
Pan's Labyrinth~The little girl is shot when she won't hand over the baby near the end of the film.
Rebel Without a Cause~Plato (Sal Mineo) is shot by the police because the boy is holding a gun that they don't know isn't loaded.
The Bridge (1960-German)~Schoolboys assigned to guard the bridge all are killed by American troops.
Mimic~Two preteen boys are killed by Judas bugs.
Lady in White~There is a ghostly reenactment of the murder of the little girl who haunts the school's cloakroom.
Hornets' Nest~One of the younger freedom fighters is machinegunned by the leader of the group who has gotten carried away by killing enemy soldiers.
Boys of Paul Street~I think one of the boys is injured and dies.
A War of Children (TV movie)~about The Troubles in Ireland, in which at least one child is killed.
Lord of the Flies (both versions)
Gone With the Wind~Bonnie is injured onscreen when she's thrown by her pony but dies offscreen.
Pet Sematary~I don't recall if we see Gabe's death, but his father has to kill him again.
The Good Son~Macaulay Culkin's character is killed on camera when his parent releases his hand in order to save Elijah Wood. (Actually, I don't think any parent would have done that; I think it would have been the other boy who died to cover the bad boy's tracks.)
West Side Story~Riff and Nardo are killed via switchblade during the rumble, and Tony is shot by Chino.
Bully~This was is horrendous! The bully of the title is killed by others his age in a very brutal way. *shudder* I'd almost forgotten this one!
Brick~I don't remember how many of the deaths might apply, but this is film noir for teens.
Pumpkinhead~The little boy is struck by a dunebuggy then dies a bit later, setting off his father's doomed plot to gain vengeance.
Prophecy~A boy in a sleeping bag is slammed against the tree in a scene that is still shocking today.

There is a powerful movie about a boy who starred in a popular film but got mixed up with a gang and was murdered. It's almost too painful to watch! I haven't been able to find it yet.

How young are you looking for because the Fifties had a number of gang films that included the death of juveniles, usually as a warning to the audience.

Answer 4

Oh yes indeedy!

ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13!!!

The John Carpenter version, not the crap one with Ethan Hawke.

Anyways, this 9-year-old girl gets shot point blank to the chest. You see the blood (splatter pack thing) and she screams and falls down. Not too bad for quite a shocking scene, and what with child actors usually being ****. That happens about ten minutes into the film, and is kinda the reason the film happens.

Answer 5

Pet Semetary

Answer 6

The original "Assault on Precinct 13" (1975):

A little girl gets shot by a criminal hiding inside an ice cream truck
(what'd you expect from John Carpenter anyway?)

Answer 7

Yes, Pay It Forward. The little boy (Haley Osment) is killed in the end of the movie by a thuggish kid with a knife. It was pretty sad.

Answer 8

M. is about child-killings. It's a really old movie, but I think it's from the pre-Code era so it might be graphic, I'm not sure. I was just reading about it, but I left my film textbook at school so I can't look it up at the moment.

Answer 9

Alpha Dog

Answer 10

Eye for an Eye with Keifer Sutherland

Answer 11

pet semetary shows a kid get hit by a truck and he comes back to life
