After spending most of the day working around the house decorating for the holidays, I decided to kick back and check out a movie I hadn’t watched in quite a while. That movie is the 1995 John Carpenter remake of Village of the Damned.
Plot: A small town's women give birth to unfriendly alien children posing as humans.
I remember watching this one when it first came out and I was rather disappointed. Now, decades later, I still don’t think that it is great, but it was better than I remembered. This was a fun B-Movie type viewing experience that had an interesting premise, a couple creepy scenes and a solid cast. Honestly, it was a nostalgic trip just watching it.
Yes, it is uneven, some of it extremely cheesy and it makes little to no sense, but it is fun. In the end, this is one of Carpenter’s weakest entries and a movie that sits in a niche and should be viewed with that in mind.
