Noel L Oct 30 I got a bit of a Children of the Corn vibe with a twist of another film that I can't put my finger on. 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 Lau S Jul 29 I love this horror movie! Damn great! See more Michael C @Michael71 Jun 23 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 Paul C Apr 27 I first watched this film - about identical alien children born to women in an English village - when I was around ten years old, and it had little effect on me. On repeat reviewing, I found it incredibly unnerving; the staring eyes of the children, the creepy setting in black and white.............There are no jump-scares, just the uneasy feeling that enters your head and stays there; so much so that I would be reluctant to watch it again now. Unusually for a literary adaptation (it it based on Wyndham's 'The Midwich Cuckoos'), it's far more effective than the book, which lacks tension, and has little build-up towards the end. The atmosphere of the film, made all the more scary for its setting in sleepy rural England, builds to a chilling and very effective climax. See more Read all reviews
