Trying to help someone recall the name of a movie. It was about orphaned children who were somehow kidnapped and transformed to gain control over their minds? They were made to work in some kind of mine, and their faces were somehow distorted from the transformation? Any clues? PS...NOT "The City of Lost Children"!

this probably isnt it but you might want to try the wall

hi, maybe it's Children of the Dune

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom???
