John Carpenter's Village of the Damned is an English language 1995science fiction–horror film directed by John Carpenter. It is marketed with the tagline "Beware the children."A remake of the 1960 film of the same name, both based on the novel The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham. This version is a heavily Americanised version, while the book and original film were both set in Great Britain. It stars Christopher Reeve (in what would be his last leading role in a feature film before the horse riding accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of his life), Kirstie Alley and Mark Hamill. This movie stood out from the original due to its incorporation of graphic violence, with depictions of such things as a man falling asleep on a barbecue grill and a woman (the government doctor and analyst Susan Verner, played by Kirstie Alley) cutting herself with a scalpel while under the children's psychic control.
