Children of the Damned is a 1964 British black-and-white science fiction horror film directed by Anton M. Leader, and starring Ian Hendry, Alan Badel, Barbara Ferris and Alfred Burke.[2] It is a thematic sequel to Village of the Damned (1960) which concerns a group of children with similar psi-powers to those in the earlier film.[3] The film enables an interpretation of the children as being a good and more pure form of human being, rather than evil and alien.[4]
