This is more preachy than creepy. The children are mostly silent and, horror of horrors, they're not even blonde. Even when they do speak, the unsettling accents of the original are missing. This clocks in at just under an hour and a half, and it felt far too long. The original is enjoyable, but there's too much explanation in this one, and there are too many attempts to drive home a Cold War message.

Not too bad.

This was too boring and I didn't find the kids creepy in this movie at all. A couple of decent scenes, but this is one I would not recommend.

One of the rare cases of the sequel being every bit as good as the first one

Not a typical sequel but an edgier, higher-stakes take on the same basic concept. This time the kids' condition alludes not to precocity and puberty but to autism. The bigger, badder urban setting means the style is noir, the cast diverse, and the plot this time is a political thriller where last time it resembled science fiction. It might not be quite as sturdy, or obviously as original, as Village, but the two films are roughly peers, and complement one another well.
