A peculiar event happens in the town of Midwich. All of its residents suddenly fell unconscious. Shortly thereafter they regained consciousness and about a dozen of the women were found to be pregnant. The result of those pregnancies were platinum blond kids with strange behavior and super intelligence but they seem to have more than just that.
I actually love the plot. It is very intriguing. The only thing I found distasteful were the dispassionate Brits that seemed to be in a perpetual state of debate. Here it is, strange occurrences are happening throughout Midwich, the children clearly seem to be the cause, and a bunch of middle age men sit around debating the matter as though they're arguing over what fine restaurant they should dine at. I expected far more concern, worry, fear, anything. Or are we to believe that they were so intelligent and refined that they evolved past any emotional connection to their hometown and its inhabitants? It's a fascinating concept for a movie and fine execution for the most part-- just give me some characters that are human.
