Directed by John Carpenter. Written by David Himmelstein, based on the book by John Wyndham. Starring Christopher Reeve, Kirstie Alley, Mark Hamill, Michael Pare, Linda Kozlowski, Meredith Salenger and a very little Thomas Dekker as one of the evil kids.
Plot: 2 doctors battle children who exert deadly mind control over adults
While this movie has pretty much the same concept of the 1960 version, it lacks the luster and the energy of the first movie. DJ doesn’t feel sorry for the adults because they decided to have the kids in a time when abortion is quite safe. Also, they stick to close to God for DJ’s liking. With all this crazy shit happening, you’d think they’d look somewhere else for answers. Or maybe that’s when you’re supposed to turn to God. We wouldn’t know.
All we know is that this was unrealistic. Someone should’ve shot those bastard kids in the face. They were too powerful. It wasn’t fair and it wasn’t fun to watch. I do like that David got to develop some emotions in this one, but that’s about the only thing that was better. So, as you can imagine, the points from the first movie have dropped substantially and we don’t really recommend you watch it.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
