Presenting murderous moppets on screen is always a dicey proposition. For every The Bad Seed or The Omen, there is always The Good Son or Mikey skulking about. It’s all about the fear – making a five or ten year old believably frightening is hard to do. As audience members, we put our faith in filmmakers to produce tension, conflict, and danger in a palpable (but not necessarily plausible) way, and when it’s tested we end up wading through Children of the Corn. But when our faith is rewarded, we find ourselves in the Village of the Damned (1960), a seminal killer kid chiller.

Homeland’s penultimate episode of its third season offered a tense hour, as Saul (Mandy Patinkin) moves the Brody op forward with Carrie (Claire Danes) now assisting from Tehran.
Homeland Recap
Now that Saul knows that his wife’s lover Alan Bernard (William Abadie) was involved in some shady hacking with Lockhart (Tracy Letts), he’s determined to use him to his own advantage. Approaching Bernard in his cell, Saul tells him that he’s going to encourage the Israeli Mossad to give aid to Brody (Damien Lewis) in Iran. Bernard, without any other options, seems poised to comply.
In Iran, Brody records himself outlining his faux-partnership with Javadi, which is to be sent to Akbari. If Akbari trusts that Brody is the one who bombed Langley, the idea is that he’ll be able to get close enough to him to take him out – leading to Javadi ascending to power.
