Lemme tell you about those damn kids. No you won’t. The Brit original is horror manual that doesn’t need chainsaws. Midwich’s mums don’t exactly know how they got to be with child. And their born-the-same-day offspring are a tad off. When their eyes glow you’re toast. More show than tell, and all wrapped up in nuke-era creepiness.
