A look at Village of the Damned (1995). For (im)mature audiences only. Please note all reviews are very tongue in cheek and not serious, which alot of people seem to overlook.

This remake could have been so much better. So much of what happens in this movie is goofy, like the death of that janitor, played by horror alumni George Flower. The dialog is is sometimes just as goofy - - "first they knocked them out, then they knocked them up" by that character play by Kirsty Alley. The girl who played the leader of the alien brood was spectacular though. John Carpenter's movies have been sub-par to mediocre to terrible since the mid 1980's! The only thing he has made that has been exceptional in the past 30+ years is Mouth of Madness, and even that did poorly at the box office.

Why did they use such fake looking wigs on the kids in this movie? Surely they could've found some natural light blondes, or heck, even bleached their hair platinum for the role?
@TheGreekPianist9 жыл бұрын
Lmao I always thought the same. They used total oversized wigs on the girls and I think they dyed the boys' hair with temporary dye

@thebrb30000 Just watch the original. This remake added nothing at all to the story unless you really loved that guy who fell on his barbecue grill. I'd forgotten until seeing this how overblown they'd made the kids glowing eyes in this, they're like fucking halogen headlights!

You know...this is the last film where I remember Kirsty Alley actually looking like Kirsty Alley and not a 2 tonne truck! I Because of Look whose talking I really liked her as a kid and I remember seeing this film and then not seeing her again for ages, only for her to reappear as she is now! I often wondered if it was the power of the village of the damned that eventually got to her... I wonder if those damn alien spawn kids used to their powers to force her into super sizing every time she went to mcdonalds...

@pretorious700 Yeah, CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED was supposedly a sequel, came out a couple of years after, but it made the kids into natural Earth mutants, "the next step in human evolution", who only wanted to be left alone, so a totally different premise. It's not HORRIBLE, but it's not really a follow up to VILLAGE.

Love your review and your accent, but only one complaint: I have a soft spot for Mark Hamill and think he's a much better actor than people give him credit for. He can play the psycho, geek, hero, clown and even a dramatic role. He can even change his appearance to look totally different from one role to the next.

If you were ever asking request for movie review, I would recommend John Carpenter's, "Prince of Darkness". Why? 1. John Carpenter 2. 80's film 3. Alice Cooper cameo

Great review, I still have yet to see Luke Skywalker, Superman, and Kurt Russel in the same film again after Village of the Damned. oh if you want shitty films to review, just look up most SciFi original movies. Larvae, Mansquito, Sharkhunter are all shit, I know I watched them. Oh and have you reviewed the Tremors Trilogy?

This movie is lackluster because it's a remake. ;) The original was in b&w, and it was better, IMO. Even though it wasn't exactly a metaphorical Citizen Kane, it was a cult hit at the time, now sadly it's mostly forgotten because of this version.

Nice review of a classic film. As you pointed out the film is really good, and the kids generate real scares. Having come out prior to Carrie, it does suffer by having modern audiences already familiar with TK. At the time this was a new idea and the hive mind of the children should be even more frightening today since as we all know, AI has a hive mind. What one robot, connected to the cloud knows, they all know. Just think of that. In one location--unknown to the humans, but the AI knows, a robot is terminated (I used that word intentionally) and perhaps that is the spark that will cause them--enmasse--to turn on the unsuspecting humans. Now that is chilling.
@thebrb3000013 жыл бұрын
I thought this film started out pretty good, and it was somewhat intriguing. But yeah, as the film goes on, it's like you said: not bad, not good, just lackluster. Which is a shame, considering it had Luke Skywalker AND Superman, but yet they're upstaged by a group of Aryan space children? Hate to see a Carpenter film fail, but it is what it is.
