Children of the Damned


Children of the Damned is a 1964 science fiction film, a thematic sequel to the 1960 version of Village of the Damned. It is about a group of children, with similar psipowers to those in the preceding film, but enabling an opposite interpretation of the children as a more good and more pure form of human instead of evil and alien.

British psychologist Tom Lewellin Ian Hendry and geneticist David Neville Alan Badel are interested in Paul, a London boy whose mother Diana Sheila Allen clearly hates the child and insists she was never touched by a man. This is initially dismissed as hysteria and it is implied she has loose morals. But after a while the two men realize that all six children were born without a father and are also capable of telepathy.The children, from various countries China, India, Nigeria, the Soviet Union, the USA and the UK are brought to London for a collective study into their advanced intelligence. However the children escape from their embassies and gather at an abandoned church in Southwark, London. They intermittently take mental control of Pauls aunt Ferris to help them survive in the derelict church. Meanwhile, the military debates whether or not to destroy them. The children have demonstrated the capacity for telekinesis and construct a complex machine which uses sonic waves as a defensive weapon, which kills several government officials and soldiers. But the military realizes that they only fight back when attacked. After psychologist Tom Lewellin makes a passionate plea asking the group return to their respective embassies, the children obey and murder embassy and military officials before returning to the church. ........
