Decent Remake

although as so many modern films redoing the 50's it loses the starkness that made the original scary. Most of the 50's films realized their weak point was special effect... Full Review

A lazy effort for director Carpenter.

Village of the Damned is cheesy but fun to watch
by Greg Linsun (movies profile) (Jan 27, 2009)
Village of the Damned is the definition of a John Carpenter movie with the exception of Halloween: cheesy, goofy and yet fun to watch. After a bizarre blackout in a slee... Full Review

Great Atmosphere and Tone!!
by Mitchell (movies profile) (Oct 24, 2008)
A strict B movie sci-fi horror from legendary horror director John Carpenter. Honestly this film is not worthy of John's skill as a director and that fact shows in th... Full Review

Remakes are never better...
by Erik (movies profile) (Nov 5, 2007)
except of course with John Carpenter in the director's chair. This could be said of Carpenter's 1987 remake of the "The Thing" (origianally "the Thing From another World... Full Review

This is a remake??
by Michelle (movies profile) (Jun 22, 2007)
A town is taken over by a bunch of blonde alien kids who all look and act the same. I think the book (if there is one) would be a lot better than the movie; you can only... Full Review

Not as good as the original.
by Yahoo! Movies User (movies profile) (Jan 2, 2006)

A real let down
by Bobby (movies profile) (Aug 4, 2004)
I loved the 1960 version of the film. I got a little let down by this one. I was not into this one at all. I hated the fact that they really butchered the story. I ju... Full Review
