In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Who Can Kill a Child? (1976)
A Spanish horror directed by Narciso Ibanez Serrador.
A husband and wife go to Spain on a vacation. After they visit a busy city on the mainland, they go to a small island where there are no adults.
Think Children of the Corn. Only Spanish. I know I rated that film pink and spouted nonsense because nobody reads my effin' blog, but maybe someday someone will read it. The production value of this film was very low and the video was pretty grainy. This is to be expected from '70s films. I think it may have been more shocking when it was made. To my 2010s eyes, it seemed kind of bland. The ironic ending was the only part that prompted me to think. I'm rating this o.k.
