Village Of The Damned [1960]

“AN UNNVERVING CHILLER! THIS PICTURE WILL GET YOU, WE GUARANTEE!” – New York Times FROM its seemingly placid opening VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED keeps piling one eerie and disquieting detail upon another, creating that rarest of achievements – an utterly belivable masterpiece of horror! Starring the ever-imperturbable George Sanders (who does not remain that way for long), this classic, havoc-filled tale of mind reading and hypnotism will have you completely hypnotised… and shaken to the core! The ‘monsters’ of this film are a band of innocent-faced platinum-blond children, all of whom are born in a small, peaceful village on the same day. Their rapid physical development is matched by their fast-growing mental powers and with calm, blood-curdling efficiency, they are soon terrorizing the tiny hamlet. They can read the thoughts that are forming in your mind… which makes them an altogether unstoppable enemy! Capped by a mental “tug of war” you will never forget, VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED is “an evtremely compelling picture!” (New York Post).
