Movie Reviews of Village of the Damned
Movie Review: Good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
For some reason this movie seems to always get bad reviews from critics and viewers. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think that people expect something different from John Carpenter and this wasn't it. They compare it to his other movies rather than looking at it on it's own.
I think that the movie was great, very well done in the way that it was shot and the way that the actors portrayed each character. It's interesting to see the different twist that John Carpenter put on the original novel by John Wyndam, "The Midwich Cuckoos." The tone of the movie is very eerie, with everything shot in a sort of gray, monotone atmosphere. The leader of the children is absolutely chilling and gives a great performance. I think that she really makes the movie with how she speaks and acts throughout the film. People just aren't used to seeing some seven year old look as if she could snap you in half with a blink of an eye.. literally.
The visual affects are awesome. Who doesn't like to see crazy glowing eyes? It's just cool looking. I highly recommend this movie to anyone not looking to rip it apart just because it's not 'gory' or 'violent' enough for them.
Movie Review: This movie ROCKS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say, that this has to be the best (scary) movie in my book. I remember seeing a commercial on TV that they were going to air it. And I was just terrified of glowing eyes, and because of that, I just had to watch it!! I went about 2 or 3 or maybe even 4 years without seeing it again. I didnt even know the title! But one day in the video rental place, I saw that cover, and I saw those 3 children, and knew that was it!!! So I got it, and loved it just as much as before! Now I wouldent get the video of it, get the DVD!!! Because the video is missing 50% of the picture!!! I got so used to the VHS, that when I got the DVD, everything was 10 times better, because I was seeing things that I never saw before! Widescreen is the way to go! Buy or rent this movie today! Dont listen to the people who dis the movie, see for yourself! You wont regret it!Movie Review: I only have eyes for you dear
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie, which holds it own, is a remake of the 1960 film classic, which in turn was based on the book "The Midwich Cuckoos".
The small town of Midwich one-day falls inexplicably asleep. Many accidents occur due to the sudden narcolepsy, which is exaggerated in John carpenter style. The result is that several of the village females including a virgin are in a motherly way. They all have their bouncing white hair babies the same day and as with the cuckoo eggs, they are too in love to notice the little quirks about having to control or punish everyone. Compound this by other villages that fall to the same fate and you have an epidemic that threatens to wipe out the human race.
What action can be taken?
Is it too late?
If he/she were your child, what would you do?
Movie Review: Village of the Damned is one of my 5 favorite scary movies
Summary: 5 Stars
Village of the Damned is one my favorite movies. It might be because the scary pale kids scare the sh** out of me, or maybe it's becasue it keeps you scared of little pale twins everywhere. But I love this movie! Plus, it is filmed partially in my house, which is cool. Great movie, I give it two thumbs way up! That, Scream, Scream 2, Scream 3, and The Others are my five favorite scary movies, even though Freddy Crougor is great too!
So you should deffinatly see this fright bite, it makes you scared of pale kids everywhere.
Movie Review: A very underrated remake of a classic story
Summary: 5 Stars
JC's VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED is a perfect example of what a remake shold be like.
I have seen the original and I do enjoy it, I still find myself liking this version more though.
The children in the version just seem down right sinister and pure evil.
Another great asset to this film is the cast (EX:Christopher Reeve).
If your in the mood for a John Carpenter style remake, this one is for you!
