Creepy kid alert! Yes, this month Ian and AC stop by the Village of the Damned on their journey Beyond Hammerland!

Wolf Rilla's 1960 sci-fi thriller centers on the small English town of Midwich, whose residents mysteriously fall asleep one morning--and awaken to find that all of their women are pregnant with rapidly developing, blonde-haired psychic monsters. How will the Midwich grown-ups grapple with these hive-mind horrors--and just what is responsible for their sudden appearance?

In this spoiler-heavy review, Ian and AC place this smart and terrifying Red Menace allegory in its Hammer Films context; consider its legacy in the genre; and gush over the bloody-good movie year that was 1960!
