Excellent horror film - Perhaps one of the genre's finest ever entries.

Very economical and unnerving film this. The opening 20 minutes are subtly effective in establishing a chilly atmosphere in a relatively undistinguished, once sleepy little uneventful town. It holds up very well, and the B&W cinematography is as effective as ever here. Sanders makes for a stoic protagonist too.

Yes, this is one of my favorite horror/sci-fi films ever made. For those who think black and white films are boring, this is proof that they're wrong. It's an excellent film and one that I never seem to tire of watching.

Village is a timeless horror classic. Thoughtful and creepy.
