The village of Midwich, England is terrorized by a group of youngsters born under mysterious circumstances and possessing the power to read minds and control the minds of others.
A distinguished sci-fi/horror classic based on a novel by John Wyndham, the film features one of George Sanders' top performances and a wonderfully unsettling tone, combining the well-cast children with glowing eye effects and eerie music to convey their danger. The screenplay is also first-rate, fascinating us with the children while fostering our imagination with what it leaves unsaid. Also well-photographed and edited, it's a still potent chiller.
