eh, pretty good, kind of creepy.

Clearly Michael, the son of the professor, is the scariest little devil human. His voice dub was interesting, I wonder how high (or low) his voice was at that time that they didn't want to use it.

The plot:there's a kind of force-field around a small town in England for a few hours, everyone passes out, then several women find themselves pregnant with too-rapidly developing babies, even virgins. The babies come out all looking like little goths, wearing black, white-blond hair. They have a mental community amongst themselves, when one devil kid learns something they all do, and they communicate telepathically. They are scary because they can control people's minds, and make them commit suicide. There's the wacko military that wants to kill them, the professor who naively wants to study them and use them for good, and the small boy with glowing eyes that makes a guy shoot himself. Most were downplayed, which was the strongest point of the film. Everyone was very British; ie. they are calm and polite, even when discussing small satanic kiddies. The lack of melodrama saves it and makes it a little more intelligent than it could have been.
