village of the damned (1960)


"People, especially children, aren't measured by their IQ. What's important about them is whether they're good or
bad, and these children are bad."
The inhabitants of a small English village suddenly fall unconcious for a few hours. Then wake, apparently none the worse for their experience. But then all the women fall pregnant and unnaturally quickly give birth to blond-haired children. The children as well as looking alike, all seem to share a telekinetic link. Moreover they rapidly start to develop anti-social tendencies and frighten the authorities. What are they to do with children that seem to be able to read people's thoughts and can make them do their will?
A fine thriller starring George Sanders and Barbara Shelley, that builds tension slowly and inexerably.
