Listen Later

VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED (1960), directed by Wolf Rilla, is a chilling sci-fi horror film set in a small English village where all the women mysteriously fall unconscious and later give birth to strange, highly intelligent children. As the children grow, it becomes clear they possess telepathic powers and an eerie lack of emotion. The village must confront the growing threat these alien-like children pose to humanity.
