There was a movie with little kids and they had gray skin and glowing eyes. They would kill adults by reading their minds to figure out their fears.
What was that movie called if anyone knows? :question:

Probably one of the versions of "Village of the Damned" (or "Children of the Damned").

could be. I don't know I remember one scene when one of the adults are trying to save a child from being turned into one of the scary children but they're trying to read his mind but he starts thinking of a brick wall to block out the image of the bomb he knows about to blow them all up.

I cannot remember if they used that in the remake, but that exact scene happens in the original (1960) version of "Village of the Damned."

Christopher Reeve plays the character who uses the "brick wall" defense in the remake.
Kneel before Dr. Hell, the ruler of this world!

Haha really? I guess I'll have to re watch it. I swear he's in like every movie

Either Village of the Damned or The Bloodening.

I haven't seen "The Bloodening," so I can't comment on that, but the scene with the brick wall is certainly in "Village of the Damned." Both the British original with George Sanders as the teacher, and the American remake with Christopher Reeve as the teacher. Oh, by the way, I think the British original is the better of the two films.

I also recommend the book upon which both films were based "The Midwich Cuckoos" by John Wyndham.
