Horror Vault's take

From six different corners of the globe, a group of children emerges sharing not just extraordinary intellect but an uncanny, inexplicable bond — as if they were engineered by something beyond human understanding. Scientists and authorities scramble to study and contain them, but the children are always one step ahead. Part cold-war parable and part science-fiction chiller, this British follow-up to Village of the Damned trades shock for creeping dread. The unsettling question at its heart is whether these children are a threat to humanity — or a mirror held up to it.
