Steve B @RT36942293 Dec 19 In 2026 with the advent of AI this movie could not be more relevant. It centers around six children from all over the world who are brought together in London to be studied by scientists because they all are extremely intelligent with telekinetic powers. They develop new machines and new weapons. They cannot be controlled by the scientists, politicians, or military and will not let themselves be destroyed. Therein lies the problem. Is their existence a benefit to all humanity. Or is there existence a danger to humanity. Stay tuned...........

See more Bob W @RT00745230 11/01/2023 The thrills come more slowly than 1960's "Village of the Damned" but this "thematic sequel" from 1964 is a thought-provoking take on its predecessor. More than worth it for those who like their science horror more thinky than creepy and more disturbing than scary.

It has an entirely different story but carries on the theme and concept from the earlier works. It's been awhile since I last watched it and it's probably full of dreadful racial stereotypes, but I think it's commendable that they tried to make this one a global tale, something of a rarity in 1963. What I remember most is the children, who were a perfect blend of vulnerability and soullessness, the epitome of the "evil child" horror trope. Well worth a watch. See more dave s @RT68722908 11/01/2020 Children of the Damned is a sequel that is very loosely based on the chilling Village of the Damned. This time around, a group of six children from around the world who possess supernatural powers and limitless intelligence are holed up in an abandoned church in London. Besieged by psychologists, scientists, and the military, they manage to defend themselves with their mind control techniques, much to the dismay of the rest of the world. Other than the children and their powers, there is really no link to its predecessor. Unlike the first installment, there is little or no suspense or atmosphere and, despite being competently made, is ultimately pretty forgettable. There is a fairly obvious Cold War message buried in the story if anyone wants to exert the energy to dig it up. See more Read all reviews
