I Just Watched this on TCM
. . . and that douche that says stuff about the movie said the dumbest thing ever after the movie was over. He said something along the lines of, "Children of the Damned is certainly not as good as the original. They made the big mistake when someone thought that there needed to be a message, which is always a bad idea."
What??? First off, they tell you that the movie they've just played, that you've just watched isn't very good. Then they say that films should always be pointless and meaningless. Sure this is a flawed film, but the fact that it has a "message" is what makes the movie a good sci-fi film. Although, it would be stupid to call what the film says a "message" since nothing really concrete is given. The film doesn't go out and say something direct like, "Don't do drugs!" it asks more than it says.
