Local physician Dr. Alan Chaffee and government scientist Dr. Susan Verner join forces when the women simultaneously give birth... and the reign of horror begins. All born with platinum-white hair, fierce intellect and steely, cobalt eyes, the emotionless offspring display eerie psychic abilities and remarkable powers which they use with deadly consequences, unleashing a storm of terror.

  • A drear remake with a somewhat larger budget, but a decrease in skill and interest; there seems no reason to reproduce an old film, unless it is to exhibit the makers' lack of imagination and originality.

    another pointless remake

    Why do the Americans have to remake every good movie they come accross, and then try to pass it of as their own creation (Ring, Grudge etc). This movie adds nothing to the original, except for a few big names in hollywood, but the whole performance was devoid of emotion, and the acting was wooden at best. Obviously Reeves heart was not into this one...

    Christopher Reeves ruined this movie, and unfortunately he did the same with 'The Rear Window' (why oh why!)

    I would advise sticking with the original classics.
