From the master of suspense John Carpenter (The Thing, Halloween), and based on John Wyndham's best-selling sci-fi classic, ""The Midwich Cuckoos"", this slick horror thriller stars Christopher Reeve (Superman), Kirstie Alley (Cheers) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars). After an unseen alien force invades a quiet coastal town, ten women mysteriously find themselves pregnant. Local physician Dr. Alan Chaffee (Reeves) and government scientist Dr. Susan Verner (Alley) join forces when the women simultaneously give birth... and the reign of terror begins. All born with platinum-white hair, fierce intellect and steely, cobalt eyes, the emotionless offspring display eerie psychic abilities and remarkable powers which they use with deadly consequences, unleashing a storm of terror in the once peaceful hamlet. Now only two people can stop the children in the village of the damned.
