The story itself could be so good, but the characters are bland and uninteresting. I simply don't care if they live or die since they are neither lovable nor hateable...

Great titles, and ok reproduction of this story. The threat however was never really demonstrated for me to think of the kids as well that evil in this world where we generate our own to a higher degree.

[SkyShowtime] Although it takes the title of the book as vindication of its origin, it's the adaptation that distances the most from the original story, constructing unnecessary subplots. This new generation is less scary and more easily manipulated, even empathizing with other characters. But what the series does not achieve is to offer a contemporary point of view of the social conflicts posed by the films.

Some tantalizing threads in the show every now and then. I like the ice cream metaphor. Curious to see if the show takes any liberties with the ending and how it all turns out

I was looking forward to this, another 'reboot' if you will, of what we all know 'The Village of the Damned' previously. This time, they've given it the same title as the actual John Wyndham book it's all based on (with some significant differences, both to the book, and previous movie adaptations o More
