This film is a remake of the classic 1960 science-fiction thriller,
Village of the Damned, which was based on the novel
The Midwich Cuckoos by
John Wyndham. Veteran horror director
John Carpenter is at the helm this time, with
Christopher Reeve replacing
George Sanders in the starring role. Aliens put the entire village of Midwich to sleep for 24 hours and impregnate many women. Reeve plays Alan Chaffee, the town doctor, whose wife Barbara (
Karen Kahn) is one of the women carrying an alien baby. Visiting scientist Dr. Susan Verner (
Kristie Alley) is monitoring the situation for the government. She supervises a mass birthing in a barn. The children turn out to be white-haired, glassy-eyed, and telepathic. Their plan is to use their supernatural powers to kill the villagers and help the aliens take over, and only Chaffee and Verner can stop them.
