The United Nations conducts a global survey on child development, identifying six children with exceptional intelligence. All were born under mysterious circumstances, with the mothers claiming they were conceived without a father. Brought to London to be studied, the children escape to an abandoned church. Alarmed by the children's telekinetic powers, the government prepares to destroy them, while psychologist Col. Tom Llewellyn tries to convince the authorities to spare them.

The only scary thing in the entire movie is actor Ian Hendry's resemblance to George W. Bush . . .

I saw this film at the theater after school in 1963. This is one film that holds up fairly well, five decades after its release. The message is as relevant now as it was in the height of the Cold War.

Decent enough film - where they all seem to want to share any experience the other has. Not really a children's film. Though I was a bit surprised that Barb Ferris wasn't one of them.

Weirdly this sequel to the 1960 effort 'Village of the Damned' is the one that has lived in my memory. I've no idea why because on repeat viewing it's really terrible. What is the plot? The kids go to a church and start zapping everyone whilst the grown-ups argue about which International Embassy to take them to?! Zzzzz...
