Village of the Damned (1995)

If I ever wake up and find myself married, there's something wrong. If I ever wake up and find myself pregnant, there's something VERY wrong. It happens in Midwich. When the women wake they discover they've been mysteriously inseminated with weird babies. The kids all have white hair, glowing eyes and a problem with authority.
The late Christopher Reeve starts shaky, but his character improves as the tale unfolds. Kirstie Alley again makes me wonder how she ever finds work. Linda Kozlowski saves the day for the ladies. Not Carpenter’s best work. It feels like a TV movie.
