Peter G @Petermovielover Jan 10 Such an original idea (taken from a novel) & a real gem that grabbed me right from the beginning. Despite the fact that the actual alien impregnating procedure is left somewhat unexplained this great little 77 minute thriller is a classic of its kind, IMO. Imagine George Sanders in a sympathetic role & he handles it very well indeed. However, he & the entire cast must bow to creepy little Martin Stephens as the ostensible leader of the alien children who threaten the sanity & future of the village after they are born & develop their unique & dangerous intellectual powers. Also catch Stephens as a memorable Miles following this in THE INNOCENTS, for me the best film adaptation from Henry James THE TIRN OF THE SCREW.

Overall a very good movie See more Isaiah Y @zayman2 Oct 24 Great plot makes this a horror classic See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 15 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e o filme tem um suspense bacaninha, e o final é bom.

See more Michael C @Michael71 06/23/2025 I was going to give "Village of the Damned" a three-star rating, but I added a half star more mainly because I was impressed by how well the cast did in their respective roles. While I did not love "Village of the Damned", I did like it. The movie has a very well written script, as stated previously, the cast is very good and I was never bored. The best performance is given by the late George Sanders. The Academy Award winning actor is terrific as Gordon Zellaby. A school professor who is both fascinated and terrified by the children born with strange and dangerous abilities. Martin Stephens does a good job as Gordon's "son" David. Seeing how Gordon teach the children and at the same time discovers a way he can ultimately defeat them is a treat as well. "Village of the damned" is a well-made and entertaining movie that is worth seeing at least once. Just remember before you see it, start thinking of a brick wall. See more Read all reviews
