Village of the Damned
When an entire village’s women mysteriously give birth to alien children, a determined father races against time to stop the inhuman offspring from unleashing a deadly menace on his community.
“Beware the children.”
Synopsis
An American village is visited by an unknown life form, which causes the women of the village to become pregnant. Nine months later, the babies are born and appear normal, but they soon reveal themselves to be something far more dangerous.

A crew of 61+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.4× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
