Sinopsis: Weymouth, Inglaterra, principio de los años sesenta. Joan, una joven británica, actúa de cebo para que la banda liderada por su hermano King robe y apalice a un súbdito norteamericano llamado Simon Wells. Después de ser agredido y abandonado sobre el arcén, Simon recibe ayuda por parte de Bernard y sus amigos. Al regresar a su embarcación anclada en el puerto de Weymouth, Wells vuelve a reencontrarse con Joan, pero en esta ocasión sus intenciones parecen ser bien distintas. De hecho, Joan pretende zafarse del control que ejerce su hermano mayor sobre ella y se presta a embarcar junto a Simon en su pequeño yate. Sin embargo, King y su grupo de “teddy boys” les siguen la pista con sus motocicletas bordeando la costa. Al verse rodeados, Simon y Joan saltan una valla protectora electrificada y penetran en una especie de recinto militar. Ambos no tardan en precipitarse por un acantilado, y acto seguido, las olas arrastran sus cuerpos hacia la orilla. Allí los recogen unos niños que viven confinados en unas galerías subterráneas conectadas con el centro militar vía circuito televisivo, cuyo habitual interlocutor es el enigmático profesor Bernard.

Legal and illegal criminality. An American tourist with a boat is robbed by a gang of teenager boys, assisted by the leader's sister. But soon afterward she jumps to the victim's boat to escape her brother's incestuous jealousy. The couple fly together and is hunted by the entire gang. Both happen to enter high-classified military territory. There might be a third and atomic world war, after which no ordinary man could survive. But now and then children are born who are "naturally" radio-active and have cold blood. They might survive in the post-war world and carry on mankind. They are fetched and brought to an underground construction where they are educated by TV. They are told that they are on a space ship moving toward the earth, which they should eventually colonize. This military project seems to be a failure because of a high mortality among the children. - The military soon finds the gang. The couple finds the children and tries to help them to escape. This situation will develop into psychological and other horror (IMDb).
Joseph Losey directed this unusual science fiction effort, which has won a small but fervent cult following. Simon Wells (MacDonald Carey) is an American visiting England, where he meets a woman named Joan (Shirley Ann Field). Simon is immediately attracted to Joan, but there's a considerable obstacle in their budding romance: Joan's brother King (Oliver Reed), the leader of a violent pack of motorcycle rockers. King has a barely concealed incestuous attachment to his sister, and he sometimes uses her to lure victims into his gang's clutches. King and his cronies attack Simon, take his money, and leave him stranded, where he's eventually found by a pair of military security men. Simon is brought to the home of Bernard (Alexander Knox), a scientist working on a secret project for the government, and his girlfriend Freya (Viveca Lindfors), a sculptor. Joan eventually tracks Simon down in hopes of winning his forgiveness, but another run-in with King causes Simon and Joan to discover a cave that holds a terrible secret: a group of strange, cold-blooded children who were the products of one of Bernard's experiments gone wrong. The children were genetically engineered to survive a nuclear war, and, as a result, they are radioactive enough to kill anyone who comes in close contact with them. Controversial in its day, The Damned was produced in England in 1961 but was not released until 1963, when Hammer Films booked it as the second-half of a double bill with Maniac. It did not reach American screens until 1965, when it was shown under the title These Are the Damned (Mark Deming, All Movie Guide)
