A surprisingly good remake. - Village of the Damned review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
27/06/2010

This is a surprisingly good remake of the British 60's thriller of the same name. John Carpenter ups the horror element of the film to good effect and for a 15 year old film the special effects and overall picture quality hold up very well. Even as a regular DVD upscaled to 1080p, the picture quality was clear and crisp. If you're a fan of horror thrillers then this is well worth a rental.

Some nasty moments but generally entertaining - Village of the Damned review by CD

Spoiler Alert
29/03/2023

I enjoyed this film for its 1990s backdrop (with almost no technology in view), a chain smoking MD, and glimpse into small town America of the time. As a sci fi horror film it is a bit silly, not so much for the underlying plot but for the silver hair and behaviour of the children which varies from the mundane to the scary. The actors are sound even though many characters are hardly developed in the film at all, and the pace of the film is good. Overall quite entertaining and worth a watch.
