    I like the remake version and I like David in the Remake and glad he was saved by his human mom and him being heroic proves that not all of his kind are evil.

    There's an upcoming British TV series based on The Midwich Cuckoos this 2022. You should make another comparison video in the future with the rest of Village of the Damned films this 2022.

      Watched the new TV series. It was good but not as good as the 1995 movie. Also in the new series the children’s eyes don’t glow when they overpower someone.

      Hardly anything made today is good, it's usually just to destroy previous films that had all or majority white casts. This new one is probably the same. Just another vessel for "the message"

    It's always bothered me that in the 1995 version, the number 7 on the clock looks like an up-side-down number 2. It's odd as all the rest of the numbers aren't quite that stylised. At 5:01.

    It's interesting to see some of the scene flipped horizontally in 1995 version. I always wonder there are cinema convention for this. Is that depend on the era where moves produced? Or just a preference of the director?

    Mis respetos para Jhon Carpenter y Cristoper Revees, pero la version de 1960 con Georges Sanders es mucho màs escalofriante (tal vez como dicen es en Blanco y negro) pero artísticamente es mucho mejor, así como el final de la historia, la de 1995 acaba diferente un final "abierto" para quienes no la han visto es recomendable.

    I only watched the original for the first time the other week, and one thing I noticed was in in the newer version alot of the male roles were replaced by female ones, even the leader of the kids which would of made more sense to keep that one male atleast. This is always the case, women have dominated the media for decades now, and they always push them into traditionally male roles and alot of the time it's over compensation and ruins the film/programme. And at the same time the female characters will moan about being oppressed by men. It's cringey.
