    I wish I had been born in 1960 or much earlier to be able to see the film version of this on first viewing

    The 1960 film Village of the Damned is a good watch (adapted from The Midwich Cuckoos book by John Wyndham)

    The sequel to the film Village of the Damned, is Children of the Damned which came out in 1963 and starred Ian Hendry, David Neville, Clive Powell, Barbara Ferris and also Alfred Burke the film COTD is awesome and I hope it never gets a remake unlike the original film VOTD was unfortunate enough to get in the 1990s. The remake of VOTD was terrible, and not worth been done, at all.

      There are two Village of the Damned films, both were based on this John Wyndham book. I’m only on episode one of the Sky series but it seems like they’ve changed a few things, such as Dr Zellabys gender and the childrens appearance.

    This cuts out about the initial 30 pages… pity: they set the flavour of the writing.

      Yes. In the same way that Bach's Air on a G String was based on Whiter Shade of Pale.

      So your point is that just because some radical leftist feminazis blame men for everything, it's ok for aliens to rape women?

      @@allisonschempf2230 please for give my insensitivity but more mere inquisity ... but is it still "rape" if she never feels it and never knows it until she realizes she is pregnant ...?
      Might i say this gives a pretty good scientific fiction explanation of an "immaculate conception", does it not ...?
      would we feel for the women in this case (the mothers) or would we feel for the metaphysical father who never really gets a chance to rear his children, only merely to "father" them..... i supposed having the heart of hearts that humans did we could feel for them both (for them all)

      @@coreyblake6264 of course it was rape. Rape is rape when the victim did not or was unable to give their informed consent.

      Your question wasn’t insensitive, and it gives me (a survivor) a good question to answer :) yes. It is still rape. This is like a woman being drugged or passed out drunk and unaware she was raped until she realises she’s pregnant.
