Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

It has some good moments, though its surreal beginning promises a generation war of apocalyptic dimensions that is never delivered, and the film finally falls into some unconvincing liberal moralising. Read full review

Mike Clark

Irredeemably dull. [13 Aug 2004]

Staff (Not Credited)

What weakens this sequel is the fact that, unlike the original, it is burdened with a "message." Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

It seems the children's grim purpose on earth is to be destroyed in a violent manner, enabling fearful, warlike, and ignorant modern man to learn a valuable lesson about himself. Read full review

Howard Thompson

A dull, pretentious successor to that marvelous little chiller of several seasons ago, "Village of the Damned." What a comedown. Read full review
