Horror Vault's take

When an entire English village inexplicably blacks out, the aftermath brings a wave of simultaneous pregnancies — and the children born of that event are disturbingly unlike any others. Pale, golden-haired, and unnervingly intelligent, the youngsters share a hive-like bond and an ability to bend the minds of those around them. As the villagers and authorities struggle to understand what they are dealing with, one man attempts to reach the truth before it is too late. This taut British chiller trades splatter for slow-burning dread, proving that the most unsettling monsters can wear an innocent face.
