Review of Village of the Damned (1995) by Allan C — 16 Oct 2013

This movie is not bad. It's just frustratingly dull. The town of Midwich experiences a mass fainting spell, and when they wake up their women have been seeded with white haired, emotionless, telekinetic assholes.

Christopher Reeve is the small town doctor burdened with a child he does not hate nearly enough. Kirstie Alley is the tight lipped government drone who spouts monosyllabic exposition. Mark Hamill is the bible thumper gone rifleman nutjob at the very notion of alien life.

Maybe if just one of these actors expressed just an ounce of disturbance at the cataclysm destroying their town then we as an audience could muster up the energy to give a damn. Sadly, it's a snooze.
