A strong and subtle horror film from England.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
The atmosphere and pace are superbly handled, and the performances of the sinister, inhumanly intelligent 'children' never falter.
David Pirie, Time Out
Fresh
Village is one of the neatest little horror pictures produced since Peter Lorre went straight.
