Even though Village of the Damned isn't one of Carpenter's best, it retains some of the Carpenter charm, but in the end it ends up with a distinct "made for TV" feel. It builds pretty well until the kids “grow up”, then it all gets a bit uninspired and predictable. I like it enough to recommend it to fans of Carpenter, but everyone else can safely skip it.

Surprisingly faithful to Wolf Rilla's film, John Carpenter's gaze develops some aspects related to religion, but also has some irony in the representation of this typically American village suffering from an internal invasion. And although the protagonist is Christopher Reeve, it's closer to a necessarily feminine point of view, but it doesn't have the capacity to increase the uneasiness that the 1960 film produced.

This remake of a 1960's classic is not
classic Carpenter. It's a mostly lifeless retelling with no scares mediocre acting and suprisingly few
interesting Carpenter touches.
I like the opening scene. In a localized area around the city of Midwich all of the people and animals fall unconcious. It's More
