The Damned (1962)
Directed by Joseph Losey
Quick Hit
The Damned either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands comfortably above water. It leaves a mark even with the rough edges.
Full Take
The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s why it lands at SOLID.
