This gets a lot less interesting once the bad seeds sprout and the focus shifts to their goofy white hair and glowing eyes and their decidedly campy shenanigans like making mom stick her hands in boiling water. But the first 40 minutes or so are an eerie, occasionally even…
matt lynchJul 5, 2023After watching both the original and Carpenter's remake, I can say that the story is strong and compelling enough to entertain in either rendition, and that it is still one of the most interesting evil kids movies. At first sight, John Carpenter may seem like the finest…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineDec 10, 2013Why are John Carpenter's women's pictures so undervalued? Village of the Damned and Ghosts of Mars are almost always written off as lesser works in the director's oeuvre and yet I find myself endlessly fascinated by the stories they tell. Maybe even more importantly Ghosts…

kill em with fire
David Simson god this is PRINCE OF DARKNESS level for the first 1/2 hour right up to when reeve quotes charles fort to kristie alley but tells her not to read him (???) then it goes to bad kid actor hell til the unintentionally funny cop-shoot-cop finale. looks great tho, score kinda…
pd187Apr 9, 2021What "unknown life form"?! Making people want to kill themselves, saying creepy things and having batshit demands is exactly what human kids do. Honestly, if it wasn't for their glowing eyes I wouldn't even notice anything was out of the ordinary.

How have I never seen this movie? So sinister and wacky. The Californian setting was so picturesque. I was also living for Kirstie Alley’s in charge character as an epidemiologist. It’s dated but in that classic John Carpenter way.
KyloJan 31, 2021Village of the Damned feels like a 2000's M. Night Shyamalan film in some ways. It's like an amalgamation between Signs and The Happening. They are two films I really like (for very different reasons) and so I enjoyed Carpenter's take on Village of the Damned quite a…
Sam ThompsonAug 3, 2026Meu tio tinha vários dvds de filmes de terror que todo mundo fazia uma roda e ia assistir tarde da noite, ninguém sentia nada, mas eu pequenina, faltava morrer de tanto ter pesadelo com essas crianças. De qualquer forma, eu amo muito esse filme, e nem é por ele ser bom,…

- Arsal is "meh" onVillage of the Damned
What stands out is the unsettling calm of the children. Their blank stares, synchronized behavior & emotional detachment create an effective slow-burn unease. It’s like the Omen but if there was more than one kid. 😬
Big E lovedVillage of the DamnedPut this on just for a little spooky something on in the background, but ended up having a really fun time. Christopher Reeve really stood out in this one, and carried his role well. Recommend for a sci-fi thrill.
Samuele Angelillo likedVillage of the DamnedCarino, l' ho trovato un po' monotono forse ma lo riguarderei volentieri, vorrei però fare il paragone una volta visto l' originale

Metacritic
Village Of The Damned is probably the worst movie John Carpenter ever directed: hokey, miscast, devoid of tension and atmosphere.
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
The A.V. Club
Pointless re-make. One of (the once great) Carpenter's worst.
Ian Nathan
Empire
Mr. Carpenter gives this formerly black and white story a handsome color retelling and a lot of new punch. And he avidly exploits the fears that are at its heart. Now add a new one. With its baleful little villains, Village of the Damned is even creepier to watch as a parent than it was to see as a child.
