A small American town is visited by an alien life form and 9 months later several of the women in the town give birth to children and it soon becomes apparent that the are different and have a sinister plan in mind. This is a disappointing remake of the 1960 b/w film which is unusual for a John Carpenter film. The performances from Christopher Reeve and Kirstie Alley are very flat and uninspiring. Based on the book The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham.
