A novel entry in the teensploitation genre then dominated by Gidget and Beach Party movies, Village is so dumb it hurts, but therein lies the charm... the film seems like a last gasp of old-school innocence. Go to Full Review

I'm certainly not going to try to claim that Gordon's 1965 film is any good, but it's such a mash-up of genres.. that you'd have to be a real grouch to not find some fun in it. Go to Full Review

07/10/2020 The MST 3K version is absolutely hilarious. To think this movie was actually made at the the same time that 2001 a space Odyssey was made is incredible. It simply goes to show that the 1960s is one of the worst eras in film history. See more dave p 07/21/2019 Flashback kind of movie with many child actors of the day. Fun to watch but not too seriously! See more 01/12/2019 Super cheesy, stupid lines, simple plot. Was fun watching it with Svengoolie narrating. See more 01/12/2019 Astoundingly bad! Far too much Go-Go dancing, random singing, and that's on top poor plot and mediocre acting. See more 05/30/2016 A goofy science fiction flick that has some dry acting despite the appearances of Ron Howard and Beau Bridges. The corny effects, the 60s rock, the surfer sensibilities, and the giant delinquent themes is a simple escape. A fun movie not to be taken seriously. See more 04/02/2016 Boring, horrifically paced, but may be good for a few laughs See more Read all reviews
