This is a remake of the 1960 movie about a group of women in town who give birth to telepathic, evil children. The story again takes place in a small village where residents are put to sleep by aliens. When they awaken 24 hours later, 10 of the village's women are pregnant–including Barbara (Karen Kahn), the wife of Dr. Alan Chaffee (Christopher Reeve). A visiting scientist, Dr. Susan Verner (Kristie Alley), is investigating and is present when the babies are all born the same day in a barn. Aliens control the babies and plan to use them to take over. Now, only Verner and Chaffee appear able to stop them.
