Night of the Demons 1988

I recently watched Village of the Damned again. The John Carpenter version, I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the original version that came out in the 1960's (this one was made in the 1990's).
I actually liked it. It was about a bunch of women in a small town who mysteriously give birth to these evil white-haired children after a blackout knocks everybody in the town unconscious. The children are highly intelligent, very cold and unemotional, and possess the ability to read people's minds. But their most terrifying power is the ability to make people commit grizzly suicide (usually they only do this when somebody threatens them) by controlling their minds with these glowing eyeballs. And of course the government gets involved and wants to study the children but things don't go too well for many of the townspeople and eventually they have to find a way to stop the children. Anyways what I liked most about this movie (besides the concept of evil children murdering people like in Children of the Corn) was the fact that we never found out exactly what the children were. Were they aliens? A government experiment? Or maybe some sort of evolution of the human race? My favorite line in the movie that I think summed them up perfectly was when Mara told her father "You must be aware, in some basic sense, of exactly who... WHAT we are". |

I just watched Leprechaun 2 on Hulu. I feel like the opening credits scene was genius, with the Leprechaun reading over his magic scroll showing the girl he wanted to make his bride and her line of descendants up until the most recent one being the leading female character of the movie. I loved how each sketch of the women showed them wearing various clothing that would have fit into Ireland's many time periods from the Medieval ages to the Renaissance to the Victorian era and then her great grandmother sailing for America with her grandmother dressed like a flapper and her mother dressed like a 1950's housewife. I thought it was awesomesauce. ::cool::
