John Carpenter attempted a horribly hokey science-fiction tale,
and in that, succeeded. The cast includes actors known for franchise
films: Christopher "Superman" Reeves, Mark
"Star Wars" Hamill, Kirstie "Look Who's Talking" Alley, Michael "Eddie
and the Cruisers" Pare, and Linda "Croc Dundee" Kozlowski as residents
of a town hit by a blackout that mysteriously impregnates the women,
nine months later giving birth on the same night to alien children who, a
few years later, become albino megaminds.
But despite the
good adult cast, most of the acting is subpar, especially Mark Hamill who, as a
preacher, delivers lines as if he too were possessed. The children, on
the other hand, perform decently enough, but are held back by cheesy FX
as their eyes radiate, taking away any real threat they might've had
otherwise.
