| - Village of the Damned (1960) is a British Science Fiction Film by German director Wolf Rilla, adapted fairly faithfully from the John Wyndham novel The Midwich Cuckoos. The tale begins as every inhabitant of the village of Midwich, even the animals, suddenly falls unconscious, and anyone entering the village likewise falls unconscious. The military establishes a cordon around the village, plus a five-mile exclusion zone for aircraft after the pilot of a plane passing overhead falls unconscious, causing the plane to crash. Nobody can enter the village to find the cause - but when everyone in Midwich wakes again, apparently unaffected by what is soon dubbed a "time out," the danger appears to have passed. However, two months later, all women and girls of child-bearing age are discovered to be pregnant. All the women give birth on the same day, to strangely identical children, all possessing white-blond hair, striking eyes, and unusual fingernails. As the children grow and develop at a surprising rate, it becomes clear that they share a telepathic bond: what one knows, the others soon know also. And Midwich was not the only community so affected: communities in Australia, Canada, Irkutsk, and the Soviet Union have all seen such births. However, there is something about these children - these intelligent, well-behaved children - that frightens the adults of Midwich. They show no conscience or love, and can use their mental powers to read minds and force people to do things against their will, even kill themselves. Now the real question is this: What do they want? Village of the Damned was followed by a sequel, Children of the Damned, in 1963, and a remake in 1995, directed by John Carpenter and starring Christopher Reeve and Kirstie Alley.

Inside, the villagers don't seem to take kindly to Knuckles' arrival, but the landlord orders Seth and Maurice to take Knuckles' trunk upstairs and offers the echidna a drink (which he declines). As Knuckles retires to bed, citizen Mesmer informs everyone that Knuckles is "the one". That night, Knuckles is awoken by what he thinks is an owl but is alarmed to find a young lamb is being carried down the street by an odd cult. After realising the sheep isn't too happy about events, Knuckles leaps from his window and frees her from the rock she is tied to. To stop the others from capturing him, Knuckles creates a tremor that knocks everyone over before the lamb leads Knuckles to a quiet barn. In safety, she explains that the villagers had recently joined a cult that requires a sacrifice be made for the Moon Goddess in exchange for a good harvest. Knuckles plans to keep watch whilst the lamb sleeps, but she insists Knuckles gets some rest. However, when he wakes up, the lamb has invited the mob into the barn. Mesmer reveals that Knuckles' arrival was foretold and he would be the next sacrifice. Sure enough, Knuckles' hands are binded and he is placed in a large cage that is about to be set alight. A panicking Knuckles realises nobody cares if he is killed. As Knuckles inches closer to death, he demands an explanation, the sheep revealing that she'd rather Knuckles die than her. Realising that Mesmer holds up his staff to talk to the people, Knuckles rolls the cage towards the river, where the sharp rocks break the prison and his bindings. He then leaps at Mesmer, stealing the staff and breaking the hypnotic curse he held over everyone. Demanding answers, Knuckles is shocked to find that the pub landlord is actually Doctor Robotnik in disguise. Robotnik was testing Mesmer's hypnotic powers on a small group of people and plans to do the same to Mobius. With nowhere to lock Robotnik up, Knuckles leaves before he is tempted to kill him.
