Village of the Damned
John Carpenter
1995
A truly riveting tale of creepy, blonde children with telekinetic powers and an inexplicable obsession with staring menacingly at people. The realistic and nuanced portrayals of small town life and family dynamics were simply breathtaking, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time wondering when those darn kids were going to start levitating things again.

Answer at bottom!
+ I really loved "Village of the Damned," it was super eerie and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, especially with those creepy blonde kids and their mind control powers.

Now some haikus and midjourney art…
Children are creepy
Why no parental control
Your mortality
Everybody sleeps
Alien impregnation
Government watching
Ominous eyeglows
I don’t control my body
Some kids are petty
One missing his pair
The rest missing emotion
A big revenge boom
Birthed in unison
Ones we do not understand
Savage superman
I see matricide
Questionable parenting
Just let go I guess
Nine Points of View
The Optimist
The story of a caring and understanding town that puts up with psychotic alien children for a disturbing amount of time.
The Mystic
Children are a remembrance of our mortality.
The Hyperbolist
Greatest glowing eye effects ever!
The Dualist
Bad movie, did this really come out in theaters? Lighting is super flat.
The Trickster
I’m with the Buck Flowers on this one.
The Skeptic
Why? Why are parents and the town so open to their clearly demonic alien kids?
The Rationalist
The government took a fairly relaxed approach to this town.
The Empath
Poor Kirstie Alley’s lungs had to be struggling after this movie. Stage direction: smoke cigarettes like a human chimney.
The Overthinker
1995, the Cold War was “over” so less focus on paranoia around others and more paranoia around what little shits spoiled children can be.
