Village of the Damned (1995)
Stars...Christopher Reeve, Kirstie Alley, Linda Kozlowski
Director...John Carpenter
Format...HDTV
Rating...* * * 1/2
This time around director John Carpenter takes on a remake of the classic 1960's British horror Village of the Damned. A peaceful coastal town is having a fund drive for their school. During the festivities an invisible force causes to everyone in town to lose consciousness. During the blackout all the women of the town became pregnant and nine months later the true terro begins when all the children begin to develop exponentially and form a group that may destroy the world.
Not quite as creepy as the original but compelling nonetheless. Village of the Damned still manages to create a sort of red menace feeling to it like the 1960 version. The cast is a good one with many familiar faces like Chris Reeve (his last film before his tragic horse riding accident) and the lovely Meredith Salenger. Not a classic Carpenter production but still very enjoyable.v
