clever!!!!!!!!!!!! thx!



[selfidentity1]

I thought all british children were like that... only slightly uglier!

[rojblake82]

I personally found Children of the Damned much more scary than this film in many ways, I say do not ever remake Children of the Damned it would be crap like the remake of this film .

[rojblake82]

I much rather preferred the second film to this Children of the Damned, it was for me more eerie and also more menacing in every way. Children of the Damned was for me billions of times better than this particular film I must say.

[GoblinXXX]

@rojblake82 Apples and oranges. This is horror, pure and simple: The children are alien invaders, who barely LOOK human. CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED is about (apparently) natural mutations, some "next step in human evolution" or some such, who are the sympathetic protagonists.

[rojblake82]

@GoblinXXX In view of your reply, I wonder if like me you are in agreement never to remake, Children of the Damned it was bad enough the remake of Village of the Damned and an absolute disaster. I cannot honestly see a remake of Children of the Damned, been any better than the ghastly remake of Village of the Damned which is bloody awful and a waste of time and money all round

[GoblinXXX]

@rojblake82 Absolutely. A remake of CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED would be pointless, and I felt the same way regarding the VILLAGE remake, which threw in an American spy and a guy who'd died on his grill-- Not exactly worth a whole new movie. Now, if they wanted to do a CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED as a SEQUEL to VILLAGE, in which you had a new "invasion" or grown up alien children that were a threat, I could see it-- in other words, a new story based around the situation in the first movie.

[honeegrrl]

@GoblinXXX A remake was already done for Village of the Damned, it came out in 1995 I believe. It stared Kirsty Alley and the late Christopher Reeve.

[66bluedonkeys]

I have visited the Village of the Damned & it is called 'budleigh salterton'.... O.o

Great film... 5★'s

[enjoyable4annoying]

classic movie

but seems they have the microphone near to the ground. I can hear EVERY step they make on the gravel and road a bit too clearly. LOL

[chocolatcats]

always loved this silly film always will.........better have a looook

[voltanaligern666]

verry good movie. better then the remake from 1995

[drawingmagic69]

when i was 5 years old i had blonde hair and my mum said i reminded he of those kids

[alexalex3131]

A good and solid film regardless of genre. Nice to see George Sanders as a good guy !

[GOINGINSAINSBURYS]

GREAT MOVIE; AWFUL REMAKE BY JOHN CARPENTER!

[eXPerienceyeah]

George Sanders and Barbara Shelley. He was born in 1906. She was born in 1933. In 1960 he was 54. In 1960 she was 27. What a lucky old dirty bastard :/ It is a pretty unrealistic pairing, what attractive 27 year old would be with a 54 year old guy? I have heard of age gaps but come on. She is 27 and he is 27 years older than she is.

[NP1D305]

I've always loved this film & haven't seen it for years. Thanks so much for uploading it!

[MickeyLove01]

Good idea to disguise the font, MGM being nearly bankrupt will be trawling the internet for unoffical viewing of their library.

[flanneryged]

Thanks for uploading this it's utterly brilliant,far better than the more recent version.

[MuzzleBlast357]

Hey, congrats for showing a film clip that's not all scrunched up and distorted. Can't wait to see the sequel, Village of the Darned.

Nice looking gal on the phone. She should have been the star.

[rojblake82]

@MuzzleBlast357 The sequel is Children of the Damned it came out three years after this film, and it starred Ian Hendry and Alan Badel it was better than this film in billions of ways.

[diddymuck]

one of the rare legitimate science fiction films.  Another was Man In The White Suit.

[Titan752]

Based on the John Wyndham classic, "The Midwich Cuckoos"... an eeie thriller from the same author of the sci-fi classic, "Day of the Triffids".

[ufonordic1]

the new age books call the gifted hybrid children of alien abductees indigo children or star seeds..(. we know now the deep warning of this movie is comming true!)

[chestnutsev7]

ive been a fan of the damned films since i was about 12,quite a few years. i knew one of the girls was june cowell from the end credits, but never knew that .thanks for the info.

[diddymuck]

how come every brit flick shows the cop on the beat to be some kind of dork who barely knows his last name?

[TheThroney]

@diddymuck isnt that how they all are in real life? i just thought they were being realistic..

[diddymuck]

@TheThroney sorry, I don't follow you.

[junglistp]

im sorry but that tractor hitting the tree cracks me up i watched this other year and my mate got rather annoyed!

[Lissone2010]

Masterpiece

[ManOfVast]

One of the kids in this film is Simon Cowells sister. Don't know which one it is, but her name is June Cowell.

Useless information, i know. True all the same.

[forrykid]

@ManOfVast

June was the tallest of the female children

[chocolatcats]

@ManOfVast then go to imdb.com and type in the film, see the names of the kids; if its there its there.?

[rojblake82]

@ManOfVast I am interested to know if you, ever saw the sequel film to this Children of the Damned which came out three years after this one. I myself preferred Children of the Damned to this film, for me Chilren of the Damned was ten billion or eighty billion times better than Village of the Damned. In Children of the Damned the children do not look, alike in appearance or dress alike unlike in this movie. In Children of the Damned the children, are all from different countries all six of them

[MickeyLove01]

@ManOfVast He doesn't have a sister

[MickeyLove01]

@ManOfVast He has a half sister though

[yveslabelle]

never saw it, but im ready for a good time

Thanks :)

[BLSEB]

at last i was looking for this movie

[diddymuck]

George Saunders, known for superior attitude and sardonic behavior, in probably his best role. this should have capaputed him to greater stardom, but not so.

[WoundedWolfgirl]

@diddymuck Mmmmm George Sanders. Sorry. Just the thought of his voice makes me drool. I'd have to say my personal favorite of his roles was Jack Favell in the Hitchcock film Rebecca. Will forever be one of my favorite classic actors. Again, that voice...!

[Beamshipcaptain]

Scared the hell out of the villagers, and the world! Should have been called: INVASION OF THE ARYAN HITLER-YOUTH!

[tomelty]

Thanks for sharing. One of the few occasions when the film actually matches the quality of the novel.

[tet43]

I was 3 years old when this movie came out.Because I had white blond hair and light blue eyes, when my father took me to see it, he said i reminded him of them...............Thanks Dad!

[j43ms]

you should have hypnotised him into giving you more pocket money- that'd learn him!

[tet43]

(LOL)I know, well, i tried to get my eyes to go all white like that , but it didn't work(LOL)......I must've been the outcast of the "evil children litter"(LOL)

[j43ms]

not evil enough, eh? lol!

[tet43]

Apparently not.(LOL)

[Titan752]

@tet43 That must have been sort of depressing to know your father could think of you in that way.... what a thing for a parent to say to their child!

[tet43]

@Titan75 Yes,Ii can see how it could be read that way.Please understand my father was in his early 30's at time,w/ 3 kids under 16, and one on the way.In retrospect, I see he made a throw away comment that he understood, but realized I wouldn't.I think it's funny.He wasn't abusive in any way. He was a great Dad.

[mpmg67]

poor thing, you must have been teased mercilessly!

[Werebudgie]

Thankyou so much for posting this!
