Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

tristenjones-74208 Seriously, why was this movie even made?For one, this movie is just completely horrible and not in a good way. Like you know you have your "Movies that are so bad it's good," Well this is a "Movie that's so bad, it makes you angry." For one, the kids in the movie, make you question how the heck did they take over the town? Were all the citizens there just weak people or elderly people. There was also just only one police officer, just one! I mean, these kids couldn't take over a block let alone a whole town. The only one that looks slightly bit intimidating is Malachi, and he doesn't even have a personality. More to add, what kind of a film is this supposed to be? For one, with Burt having PTSD and reminiscing a Vietnam War setting, you forget it's Children of the Corn, but at the same time how can I blame you? The constant arguing between Vicki and Burt just make your head explode almost since it goes on for pretty much the entire first half of the movie. The worst part of the movie, Isaac. The thing about this Isaac is that the kid is just hilariously annoying and just makes you want to tear your ears off when he talks. The thing about John Franklin's Isaac is that he's actually good at the acting and is making a case for being scary. This Isaac, although he's trying hard, he just annoys you.Not to mention, this is what the 8th movie if you add the movies all up. Why?Again this movie is just bad and like I said earlier, take you this movie and destroy it. Do it now or your punishment shall be 1000 times, 1000 deaths, each one more horrible than the last! No not really, just I would highly recommenced you DO NOT check this movie out.2/10, I give it 2 stars, it would be one star, but it's one of the only SyFy films that doesn't have horrible CGI.

bowmanblue Oh, dear, where do I begin? This is a remake of the Stephen King film of the same name starring Linda (Sarah Connor) Hamilton. In short: the remake doesn't cut it in any way.We're introduced to possibly the most objectionable on-screen couple ever imagined. He doesn't seem to think twice about slapping her. She never stops whining and having a go at him. They stumble into a town that's been overrun by children, who have long since killed all the adults and are now worshiping their own (take) on God.If that sort of plot interests you, look up Linda Hamilton's version. Avoid the remake like a town full of religion psychopathic under-eighteens. It contains a 'child leader' who is about as threatening as Peppa Pig in a fairy outfit. He just barks lines with seemingly little understanding of what they mean.According to the internet, this was remade because it's 'closer' to Stephen King's original story. Apparently, this original story was only twenty-seven pages long. Therefore this remake has had to stretch out the twenty-seven pages to ninety minutes. And it shows. Much of it could be cut out. In fact, most of it could. You'll feel little for the two central protagonists' plight and just be longing for it to end (badly, hopefully).

xhidden99 I was dozing when this came on and Kandyse McClure's screaming and nagging got me off the couch and moving around like I should have been. I swear I wanted to punch her in the face until my arms got too tired to lift. It's hard to see how her 'psycho' war vet boyfriend didn't snap and tear her head off her body. He's all cool and calm and she's gone full shrieking harpy for what must have been 10 or 12 minutes until he slapped her once which shut her up for maybe 45 seconds.This is the kind of movie that makes you wish an asteroid came down in the cornfield and wipes out most of the state and everyone in it. Who knows maybe in the 5th remake it will and aliens will pop out and join forces with the Amish Devil-Children or whatever they are. Nothing that anyone does makes the least sense. Ever. Whatever a rational self-preserving non retarded person would do, these characters do the opposite. So you're sort of rooting for the Devil-Farmers pretty soon. You're hoping there's a treasure trove of rusty farm tools with which they can use to slaughter the cast.

Paul Andrews Children of the Corn is set in 1975 & starts as Vietnam vet Burt Stanton (David Anders) & his wife Vicky (Kandyse McClure) drive across Nebraska, Burt decides to leave the highway & take the scenic route which leads to an argument between himself & Vicky. While not paying attention to the road Burt runs a young boy down, when Burt looks at the boy's body he notice's that his throat had been cut & it was only a matter of time before he had died anyway. The couple decide to drive to a town called Gatlin, the nearest town for miles in any direction. Once there Burt & Vicky find it completely abandoned & like it has been deserted since the early 60's, then while looking around Vicky is kidnapped by a group of children who have killed all the adults & sacrifice anyone older than nineteen to their God who they worship who they call He Who Walks Behind the Rows. Burt discovers this & attempts to find & save Vicky as well as himself from the children who insist on a blood sacrifice to He Who Walks Behind the Rows...Written, produced & directed by Donald P. Borchers this made for television remake of a short story by Stephen King has been panned by pretty much everyone but I have to say I quite liked it, sure it's no masterpiece but I found it watchable enough. Originally a short story written by Stephen King in 1977 that featured in his anthology Night Shift (which is a fine read by the way) Children of the Corn was first adapted to the silver screen in 1984 in a version that many seem to dislike although I am again of the opposite opinion & really like it before numerous sequels came out starting with Children of the Corn II: The Final Scarifice (1992) & Children of the Corn: Genesis (2011) being the latest installment while this was made somewhere between them. The original short story by King was only fifteen pages long & this sticks to it closely, in fact it's far more faithful than the 1984 version. I liked the first hour a lot, the build-up & when everything is still a mystery but once the children feature more regularly & the script tries to flesh them out & give them reasons for what they do it falls apart a little. None of it is particularly convincing & it's hard to believe that children could kill every adult in town & no-one ever finds out. What about supplies? The electric company? Friends & relatives of the adult's? At just under 90 minutes it moves along at a good pace & has some nice moments although the constant bickering between Burt & Vicky gets annoying, the constant arguments & insults make both character's quite unlikable & while you can tolerate them for fifteen pages of a story it's more difficult to sit through over an hour of them sniping at each other & moaning. The script stays focused on the story & doesn't get sidetracked with subplots & the story builds quite nicely before we get an ending that is more downbeat & faithful to the short story even though it's not an audience pleaser.The film takes place entirely in the small town & the outer corn fields of the 70's, the period explains the lack of technology & mobile phone's I suppose. There's some gore in it, a Pig is cut open, there's a slit throat throat, some blood splatter, a few dead bodies & someone gets a compound fracture of his arm. The children themselves are all dressed in black and white clothes like Amish, the one little kid Isacc has this huge hat on which looks a bit daft & some of the kid's are just too cute looking & not menacing enough. There's a little bit of sex & nudity as well but nothing too explicit.With a supposed budget of about $2,000,000 this looks a lot better than the usual SyFy Channel film & I suspect they didn't make it & only brought the rights to show it after it was finished, filmed in Iowa. The acting is alright, the two leads do what's asked of them even if their character's are unlikable.Children of the Corn is a good story & I have to say that I like both the original 1984 adaptation & this 2009 version although I prefer the former, this isn't that bad at all actually & thought it was perfectly watchable & even quite effective at times although maybe it doesn't satisfy completely.
