Village of the Damned
Beware the children.
Directed by John Carpenter
Produced by Universal Pictures, Alphaville Films
A paranoid sci-fi horror about alien children infiltrating a small town, built on body-horror dread and the violation of parenthood itself.
An American village is visited by some unknown life form which leaves the women of the village pregnant. Nine months later, the babies are born, and they all look normal, but it doesn't take the "parents" long to realize that the kids are not human or humane.
