Village of the Damned is some solid stuff. It’s of its time in a way that makes it feel like a long Twilight Zone episode. I’m a fan. This isn’t to say it’s aged poorly. The story is paced at a quick clip that modern audiences will respond to, but this is also a detriment. There’s a lot of dialogue summarizing characterization of the children that isn’t actually shown, often cutting out areas for tension to build. The glowing eyes are still effective, though underused I’d say.
