“Beware the children.”

An American village is visited by some unknown life form which leaves the women of the village pregnant. Nine months later, the babies are born, and they all look normal, but it doesn't take the "parents" long to realize that the kids are not human or humane.

VIBE

This film delivers a creeping sense of dread as an idyllic community is slowly consumed by an unsettling, otherworldly presence. It's a chilling exploration of the uncanny, where innocence is twisted into something profoundly disturbing, building a quiet, pervasive tension that lingers long after the credits.
