(*Question*) - Can old-school SyFy/Horror actually sustain itself and remain interesting without having to resort to the use of overt "in-your-face" gore and ultra-violence? (*Answer*) - Well - When it comes to the likes of this particular alien-invasion double-bill from the early 1960s - (The answer is) - Yes. It can. (Providing, of course, that you cut these films some slack due to their age). As a direct result of good production values, a fairly plausible story-line, and a cast of competent actors - "Village of the Damned" (along with its just as eerie and effective sequel) "Children of the Damned" proved (IMO) to be superior viewing when compared to the over-the-top SyFy junk that is being mindlessly churned out for today's insatiable audiences.....
