The New York Times declared it "An unnerving chiller!" The New York Post called it "An extremely compelling, startling picture!" They were talking about Village of the Damned based on John Wyndam's novel "The Midwich Cuckoos." It stars George Sanders and Barbara Shelly as parents of one of a band of aliens born in Midwich as sinister blond children. One of the most critically acclaimed films of the genre. The screenplay was written by Stirling Silliphant, Wolf Rilla, and George Barclay. Directed by Wolf Rilla and produced by Ronald Kinnoch. The startling ending is a classic.
