About this movie

From the master of suspense, John Carpenter, comes a chilling new version of the sci-fi classic. Something is terribly wrong in the tiny village of Midwich. After an unseen force invades a quiet coastal town, ten women mysteriously find themselves pregnant. Local physician Dr. Alan Chaffee (Christopher Reeve) and government scientist Dr. Susan Verner (Kirstie Alley) join forces when the women simultaneously give birth...and the reign of terror begins. In what the New York Times calls "one scarifying trip," the people of Midwich must try to find a way to stop the children in the Village of the Damned.

This is scarier than the original, and maybe a little more accessible thanks to a few tweaks. I love old movies, but the original "Village" was a flawed classic at best. Carpenter's take is an improvement and actually amps up the suspense. (Why didn't he ever get a break from the darn critics?)
