60 of 203 · most liked firstVillage of the Damned (1960) is the classic British horror movie. The film is intelligent, doesn't talk down to the audience and handles the subject matter realistically. Some women in a tiny village give birth to strange children with supernatural power and extraordinary intelligence.

Renamed The Village of the Damned, the '60 version is the most praised. The novel deals more with human morality while the film focuses on fear of outsiders. 🧒🧠🤯 #filmsky #booksky
