In the English village of Midwich, the blond-haired, glowing-eyed children of uncertain paternity prove to have frightening powers.
This film is the sort of thing that would have been an episode of "Twilight Zone". I did not check, but it would not surprise me in the least if there was some person who worked on both. (Of course, it may just be a coincidence that they share a similar tone.) I also like the implied divide of emotions versus logic. This is a theme that would come up again in "Star Trek" and then "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Do emotions inhibit the way we reason, or do they add something that pure logic cannot see? This film does not get into that too deeply, but it makes for an interesting difference between the children and everyone else.
