Village of the Damned

This was a pretty faithful adaptation of John Wyndham's classic "The Midwich Cuckoos." He also did "The Day of the Triffids", which is one of my favorite end of the world books ever. John Carpenter does a very good job with the story, but it's a very cerebral story, some of which is hard to put on screen. I though Mr Reeves was quite convincing too, and I haven't always been a big fan of him. Well worth a watch.

A great movie. John Carpenter is one of the Best directors on the planet. The actors and producer were wonderful too! John is a Great Talent! So is Producer Sandy King. Best people I have met also!

I remember seeing this movie when i was a kid i love it and i was scared of kids that had blonde white hair lol i havent seen it in a while but i still like it

i love the original, so i though to myself... was that Carpenter version all that bad? oh my God why did i waste the money on this piece of wretch. How did they convince Reeve to take part in this? i guess he put trust in Carpenter's record. It's awful beyond words, and you know it's going to be terrible when John Carpenter's name runs by in the film score credits as the movie begins, he plays guitar and it sounds like he's practicing his first chord progressions as the soundtrack. Pathetic ego gone out of control..."why i'll just do the music m'self darn tootin" There is no character development, no pacing, horrible editing, the same flaccid cinematography he always employs in all his films only this time there's no special effects guy like in THE THING to save his production. The children aren't scary in any way, the town looks like it's filmed on a back lot of some old studio. The entire film is so boring and anticlimactic you hardly notice it. Just buy the original, it's much better in every way.

This movie seriously rocks. Too disturbing. Very well-made and acted. Even Kirstie Alley was OK.

This is one of the greatest horror classics you will ever see in your entire f**kin life!!!!!

Yes! I love this movie
