Product Description

Six gifted children are found to pose a threat to the world in its chilling horror story from the makers of Village of the Damned. The Children, who all live in England but are from different parts of the world, are normal in all respects except that they are geniuses with acute psychic powers. They have more in common than their IQ, however: None of them have fathers, and no one seems to know where they came from. When a psychologist (Ian Hendry of TV's The Avengers) attempts to find out more, he unlocks a mystery that could lead to the destruction of the universe.

Cool movie, but kinda scary. 😱

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

This movie had me a bit terrified every time I saw the children and the music started playing. Those children were so freakishly weird they could read your mind! I like the fact that they're were a child from different countries and they represented well. But all in all, great horror movie or a movie to watch if you wanted children like Brad Pitt & Angeline Jolie. 🤔

Sort of sequel to classic science fiction film well worth checking out.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2021

A sort-of-sequel to “Village of the Damned”, this film takes some of the elements from the previous film and flips some of the ideas.

Six incredibly gifted children with IQ’s off the charts and uncanny abilities including telepathy. None of them have fathers (and, in the case of at least one woman, she was a virgin) and their ability to control others frightens folks enough that psychologist Tom Lewellin (Ian Hendry “Journey to the Far Side of the Sun”) and genetics expert Dave a Neville (Alan Basel “Luther”) are brought in to observe these children who appear to be a threat to the rest of humanity.

Although not quite as powerful as “Village of the Damned”, taunt direction and sharp performances along with a literate often witty script help elevate the film beyond just a variation on the film that inspired this one. Indeed, the author of The Midwich Cuockoos is credited as inspiration for the film. Writer John Bailey (who sadly died in 2019 and also wrote the script for “Cry Freedom”) does a nice job playing with the same themes as in the previous film. The direction by Anton Leader (who would go on to do extensive work in TV with “Star Trek”, “Ironsides” and “The Virginian”) is solid throughout although the deliberate pa ing might be a problem for some folks.

The Warner Archives transfer looks exceptional. I’m not sure what source the WA had to work with but the films looks like it never has; deep dark blacks along with nice definition and depth. The mono audio sounds quite good with little to no distortion.

Special features are limited to an informative commentary track by the screenwriter and the original theatrical trailer.

A well made thriller, “Children of the Damned” doesn’t quite measure up to its predecessor but it’s a very good film.

Excellent old horror movie

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

This was the first version of Children of the Damned that I ever watched. An entire town went to sleep under mysterious circumstances. Then many of the women in town became pregnant. When the children were born they were similar in appearance and capabilities. Ian Hendry played a psychologist and who attempted to find out more about the children and unlocks the mystery that could lead to destruction of the universe. I had bought the Christopher Reeves version but wanted the older version with Ian Hendry as well for my movie collection.

THINGS MAY NOT BE AS THEY SEEM...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

After the 1960 British film, Village of the Damned, starring George Sanders, proved to be a box office hit, the same studio released the black and white film, Children of the Damned, in 1964. It is sometimes referred to as a sequel but in reality, it is not. The only thing in common with it is that it features six children that are telepathically linked and can control people and make them do what they want. When they do so, their eyes glow with the effort. This is where any similarity ends.

Still, there are some interesting elements to this film, which takes place in England. There are six children, all from different countries: Great Britain, the U.S.S.R, Nigeria, India, China, and the USA. They look nothing like each other, but they think as one entity and are extraordinarily intelligent, though not particularly empathetic.

Initially, one of them comes to the attention of a geneticist and psychologist, who conduct tests and determine how gifted the child is. This then comes to the attention of the military. As it turns out, five other children like him are all in England at their respective embassies.

The children all meet and unite. A decision is made that initially ends in a standoff between us and them. Then, the military makes a draconian decision. This is followed by a discovery that is made about the children’s origins. All is not what it seems. The fates, however, intervene and the you know what hits the fan. All hell breaks loose.

The film ends in a way that I did not completely understand. I later found that some footage was purportedly cut from the video that would have shed more light on the ending, which a bit enigmatic. I liked parts of the film, but the ending gave me pause. Still, fans of this genre should derive a modicum of enjoyment from this film.

Ok movie ,not asgood as original

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2022

The original Children ...was a much better movie. George Sanders was an A list actor. This one was ok and still worth seeing. Video quality was restored and good, but I find it hard to call Blu ray quality.

Children Of The Damned Are Raised On Blu-Ray

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

Warner Archive releases this loose 1963 sequel to "Village Of The Damned" that sees another group of mysterious and powerful children(six in all) that were born in other countries, but still converge in England, where they band together under similar circumstances as in the first film, now holed up in a disused church as the authorities decide what to do with them, and the children deciding the same thing about the authorities... A definite HD upgrade from its 2004 double feature DVD(with the first) porting over those extras, though nothing new was added. This is not as good, lacking any discernable point that hadn't already been made before, not even bringing back any of its characters. A misfire, though still worth watching at least once(or twice, if you listen to the commentary from the screenwriter).

Takes the "supernatural children" concept in a new direction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

I love this movie, not least because at the end, you realize the title had a totally different meaning than the one that movies like Village of the Damned and Children of the Corn have prepared us for. The acting is good, the pacing is okay, if a little slow, and the climax is poignant and takes things in a direction I found refreshing after all the spooky children movies I have seen or heard of. The FX are decent enough to get the point across. All in all, a good movie, tho the pacing may keep some people from enjoying this one. Still, I recommend it if you've got the patience.
