The Midwich Cuckoos depicted a small village in which, during 24 hours when the inhabitants are unconscious, and the village is cut off from the outside world, all the women of child-bearing age mysteriously become pregnant, eventually giving birth to golden eyed children with telepathic abilities. It was filmed as "Village of the Damned", with (unusually for a science fiction film) the plot being kept exactly as in the book. |
