| Seanax.comSean AxmakerArnold creates a Cold War movie where the fear of nuclear war is, for many of the civilians of the base, greater than the fear of the enemy. |
| User ReviewGreg WIn the late fifties, there was a surgence of a lot of films dealing with the nuclear scare and the Cold War, and The Space Children is really no exception at all. It's not even a highlight, if you ask me. It deals with a group of families whose kids somehow come under the power of a mysterious alien that has landed on the beach nearby. That's about all I can say without getting into spoilers, but trust me when I say that even spoilers couldn't hurt this movie. It's not all that engaging, and boring most of the time with trite dialogue and situations. The kids do a decent job I suppose, but everything surrounding that is just tiresome. Nothing more really needs to be said, other than the fact that The Film Crew did an episode on this movie. |
