I don't think it has the horror touches that Village does,but is a pretty straight forward sci-fi. Village is just downright creepy. Had Children of the damned been titled different,it may have stood on it's own. Outside of the title,I don't recall there being any reference to the first one. You would think someone in the movie would of dug up something about that first batch of kids.

(Caption) Director Wolf Rilla talks to Hardy Krüger on the set of Bachelor of Hearts 1958 "You can't smell any reefer, can you"? Last Edited By: skelton knaggs Oct 30 12 7:07 PM. Edited 1 times.

It's difficult to tell from a profile shot, but there is a bit of a resemblance between Wolf Rilla and his father actor Walter (Walther) Rilla.

And the Beau Brummels were great... oh, nevermind, wrong Village, I still need to watch this. I bet it scared my parents because I must have been conceived within a few weeks of its Dec 7, 1960 release date. There is a thread that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends. Some people started it not knowing that a tree can walk, And they'll keep posting forever about a movie they can mock...

Are you refering to the fact that he was alot older than his wife, or another actor would have been better cast in that part? I like Sanders in that role. The fact that he's alot older than his wife and that he's unlikely to have children works well in the story, and the scientific intrest he has in the kids plays really well, and he makes it believable.

Even though she & the other VILLAGE super kids, loquacious Martin Stephens apart, are strangely mute, June has a nice moment when one of the "normal" Midwich kids bonks her on the head with a rubber ball, getting in return her unsettlingly calm, self-possessed stare. Also: has anyone else thought that one of kids shown at a younger age (below left) bears a certain resemblence to Clive Powell (below right), who played the lead super child 4 years later in CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED? I don't think it's him; at least "Clive Powell" doesn't appear among VILLAGE's extensive credits. Last Edited By: vayapues Jun 25 12 5:20 PM. Edited 1 times.
