Intelligent low-key sci-fi thriller about a small English village where all the women become mysteriously pregnant and give birth to strange emotionless children with telepathic abilities. Brilliant script adapted from John Wyndham's novel The Midwich Cuckoos. Taut, suspenseful direction from Wolf Rilla. Superb performances, particularly from the legendary George Sanders and child actor Martin Stephens as the leader of the creepy kids. It's such an effective, eerie film; a true classic. They sadly don't make them like this anymore, as you can see by the inferior 90's remake. I recommend this to anyone with a brain.
