Village of the Damned (1995)

The movie is pretty well pasted with a clever script and some creepy scenes. We also get some good acting from the adult actors and one of the child actors (David), but when we consider the other children, they seem to be creepier when they’re 3-years old. When the movie brings you to the part where they’re somewhere around 8 or 9 years old, the movie starts to loose the creepy elements. Basically because the children’s acting starts to loose its balance as they tend to act mature. I think those children are creepier when they’re unable to speak than they are when they try to talk in the manner of adults (eg. the scene where they all lined up infront of the campus, they were muted and still, and that had a creepy effect along with the score!!!). But besides that, the movie does have powerful special effects and some really neat scenes. The movie did a great job on the visuals and the scores!
