That was an excellent one.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Easily John Carpenter's weakest film, and arguably his only truly weak film. He can't seem to decide what tone to strike, blending, for instance, moments of intentional camp (as when villagers literally march down the streets with torches and pitchforks like a 1930s Universal horror film), bland moments of social or ideological commentary (as when the women are given the option to have abortions), a long and violent gun-oriented action sequence which would seem more at home in a gangster movie. Additionally, the makeup used with the kids is ridiculous, and substantially detracts from any creepiness they might exude. Furthermore, the editing is unimaginative and the score probably Carpenter's least interesting of all. As much as I hate to say it, being a true Carpenter fan, this movie is not on par with his other work, nor even in comparison to other low-budget horror films of the euro. I honestly can't think of a single redeeming quality that makes it worth recommending except to Carpenter completists.

Don't get me wrong, the original is a great classic and noting can really top that. However the Carpenter remake does take interesting steps that even the writer of the book. For example the stillborn. While much like the first movie, it's no surprise that there have been other Damned kids, whom have been swiftly eliminated. Neither side anticipated the complications that are seen in everyday child-birthing. Not only that but it's handled pretty realistically on all sides. With the mother, she wanted to have the kid in spite of the implications of the conception and the consequences the other parents faced and her denial of that pushed her over the edge. With David whom the child was to be his partner, he is the only one of the Damned that learned about pain and loss and is able to empathize with Reeve's character, who also suffered loss. This in turn caused him to at least try to reach out to the kids in hopes they could feel the same way David feels, which would give both humanity and the Damned a chance to live in peace. I can't help but praise Carpenter for trying to find a grey area, in his remake of a black and white classic.

Not a bad remake of the 1960 classic film. Carpenter did add some violence to this remake... 1995 people are wanting more on-screen, more blood, guts and violence in their films - so Carpenter gave them some but it's not overly violent or bloody. I don't think this film is violent or bloody enough to satisfy most teens of the 1990s.The story is a pretty good alien story to begin with and I think the cast and crew did a good job on this remake. No, it is not the original but it's still a pretty good sci-fi horror movie to kick back and enjoy.As far as the children, I think both the 1960 and 1995 films are very creepy kids! I would be very nervous with them around - and the longer I was with them, the more I learned about them the more frightened I would become - if this was real! lol.7/10

OK, I saw this in theater when it was release in 1995. I recently saw it again in its original format. I can't see where the rating R is at in this movie. There is hardly any bad language. There is barely any blood. There is a little action. There is nothing to claim it to be rated R. I can name another movie done the same "Dead Silence". I can the ones making the ratings making stupid mistakes, but that stupid is really stupid.Almost about as dumb as having rated PG-13 horror movies, and saying they are horror. I can sit through every single PG-13 wanna be called horror movies, and pretty much fall asleep through them. That is how sad those Directors are. They want to go towards wider range of people. When then call them thrillers, because that is really what they are. Thrillers are for chillers, and horror is for gore. I am sick of good Ole horror movies that have the gore to go with the horror are getting terrible ratings while the lame PG-13 chillers are getting better ratings.I will say it until I die, that those PG-13 so called horror that are really chiller thrillers should never be called horror. Just the claim is dumber than snot. As for the gore, it isn't real blood or guts. Its all fake. So if you can't handle it something is wrong with that person, not the movie. There needs to be more Directors that can make horror a horror movie that is the right rating for the movie, and not the boring wanna be crap.
