The original is the far better film in this case.

1995 - I like both, but Carpenter’s version is more entertaining.

I like the original far better. The acting just feels better across the board, especially the memorable performance from the great George Sanders. My biggest problem with the remake, oddly enough, is I feel they didn't update things enough. There are elements that work fine for the original but don't translate to a remake taking place in California in the 90s. What the remake does add either doesn't work or isn't developed enough. The whole concept just seems to work better in the original period.

John Carpenter's version is surprisingly bad.

1995
I liked the 1960 version. It's good, atmospheric, creepy, but I'm a sucker for John Carpenter. I'd say the 1960 version is better but I like the 1995 version more just cuz.

I like the score for the Carpenter one a lot, but aside from that it's pretty forgettable. Easy win for 1960 in my book.

An unsettling movie.
The children's glowing eyes were accomplished by matting a negative image over their own pupils. It was only used for the American version. The British cut did not include that special effect. Martin Stephen's voice was double tracked to give it an alien quality. His otherworldly stillness and underplaying by the rest of the cast help create the palpable mood of dread that hangs over the film.
The 1995 movie added nothing to the original except a few graphic scenes of violence.
