A deeply creepy moment with Laura’s classmates closely recalls the 1960 horror classic Children Of The Damned.
The World's End (2013)
Directed by Edgar Wright
influenced by Children of the Damned (1964)
Themes Plot
One minute it’s The Big Chill ; the next it’s Children of the Damned .
…does not come until after the discovery that the villagers appear to have been taken over by alien pod-people, or replaced by Stepford robots, or something similarly nefarious, when the movie blossoms in all its Wright-Pegg glory as a rip on Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Children of the Damned or an episode of Doctor Who (plus beer and minus the Doctor).

Children with strange powers are, of course, a science-fiction staple, "Village of the Damned" and "Children of the Damned" being but two examples.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
Directed by Ridley Scott
influenced by Children of the Damned (1964)
Characters
