Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

MovieManChuck 2/4Even though it doesn't live up to its marketing as a scary movie, it still has it moments of suspense, and was also quite entertaining. The light-hearted treatment of quite disturbing material proved to actually be quite engaging, and the fact that not ALL of its characters took their fanaticism seriously proved to help sedate the movie. If all of the Gatlinian children were more than just blind followers of their leader, Children Of The Corn would probably go from it's current state to overbearing.The fact that the plot can suspend itself with barely any character development is (in its own unique way) pretty remarkable. It's just two parties colliding in one of the most screwed up situations. An aspiring doctor and his tag-a-long girlfriend are driving through Nebraska trying to make it to Seattle when they run over a dead body in he street. When they enter the town of Gatlin to report the corpse, they run into two orphans. There, they learn that the town is run by a child "zealot" and his accomplices, who have killed off all of the town's resident adults (smart people). Minimal character development packs the biggest punch here, as the tactic is to try and not get the audience too attached to the characters. After all, this is a horror film, right?Well, I've just set you up for my biggest problem with Children Of The Corn.... it misses so many opportunities. The lack of depth in the characters makes them vulnerable to a sick or sadistic plot twist. The characters in Children Of The Corn should have been let fall prey to even greater evils. This movie takes no chances, and in result has only half of the scares you'd want it to.The movie grabbed your attention, and excersized it HARD. It doesn't give many places for breathers, but at the same time, it's an easy run. In other words, this movie won't scare you into a heart-attack, but it has a sufficient amount of suspense. It'll do it's job, you'll have your fun, and it'll stay it's welcome.

jacobjohntaylor1 This a great movie. It is one of the scariest movie I have seen. It is very scary. It has great story line. Great acting. It is scarier then The Shinning. It is one of scariest movie you will see. It is a great movie.

greenblu4 This movie started simply, kids decided to kill their parents with no information beyond what their leader(Isaac) told them, which was that he was ordained by God to lead these children. I know, heavy. But for some reason this wasn't as terrifying as it should have been.You are then watching a man(Burt) and a woman(Vicky) who are traveling to Burt's new internship position as a physician. Meanwhile a child is killed and is struck on the road by the couple's car when he staggers out in front of them. When it happens it surprises you, but again no fear. They take the child and search for answers and when they're not able to avoid a little town named Gatlin they decide to go there and find answers, but they find more than what they bargained for. Children have been led to believe that "the one who walks behind the rows" will protect them and lead them to prosperity. This is of course false and Burt realizes this. He is attacked and Vicky is kidnapped.After an explanation from a confused believer, Burt saves Vicky and explains to the children that they have been misled. This is where it gets interesting. A beast consumes one of the children, as it is part of a ritual sacrifice and their leader, Isaac, is sacrificed as well but returns and kills the heretic, Malachai, that sent him to his doom. This was the most thrilling scene.Burt and the confused believer concoct a plan to destroy the beast. They end up removing the demon that was present and leave that God forsaken town.In the end it did have some clever shocks and it stayed true to the Stephen King short story, but it felt dragged along at points. It also doesn't provide the thrill you expect until the last 15 or so minutes. The soundtrack stayed true to its eerie premise and gave an overarching sense of suspense but beyond that it lacked true fear you expect from a horror movie now. But for 1984 I'm sure it was enough and I commend the actors for bringing it to life.

Rainey Dawn These are some of the brattiest and most terrifying "creepy kids" ever on film. IDK who is worse: Malachi or Issac? Issac is the (evil) reverend that started it all but it is Malachi that has the strongest lust for blood - murder or umm sacrifices "to He Who Walks Behind The Rows"" and will even defy Issac to kill.This film is a classic horror in it's own right. It's a part of the 60's through 80's horror classics that many of us grew up with. The film is downright terrifying at times. It's a supernatural horror film that has stood the test of time - quite a good one if you ask me.I've never read Stephen King's novel (technically short story) but even if I did I could not compare the film to the book - it's unfair. They have to make some changes sometimes in order to translate things to the screen and for time allotment. There are various reasons for the changes from book to film - so it's never fair to compare the two I don't think. Even when I read a book then see a film I rate the film as Hollywood entertainment and the book as a good or bad book separately.9/10
