Children of the Corn

The acting,camera/cinematography,sets,costume,score/music and sound was all well done. For me, what brought the suspension of disbelief to screetching halts were several little things in the building of the STORY. I personally didn't care for the special effect of the cornman... I'm of the old school where slow and creepy can be more frightening than abrupt and obvious. The other special effects tho, were well done.

Not even a NOD towards the original story teller, Stephen King.

Most impressed with the acting and camera work.

I didn't HATE this movie. And You can tell a lot of money went into the making of it. I think the screenplay is where it went wrong.

It was just a leeeetle bit less than a "meh" for me.

17 year old Boleyn Williams (Elena Kampouris) is concerned with her father and the other farmers' chemical use on the corn fields. Eden Edwards (Kate Moyer) is a young girl who discovers a powerful corn spirit in the fields. The farming community decides to destroy their crops to receive a government payout. The children holds a trial for the adults.

This is a prequel reimagining of the original. It's bad. This franchise has grind out a bunch of sequels. The original is a lesser B-movie and every one since has slowly declined in quality. Nobody watched and that's where this franchise should have stayed. This film's greatest sin is its lack of tension. Of course, all the adults are destined to die. This is a prequel story.

The kid actors are better here. The original movie is fondly remembered by fans due to the outstanding performance by John Franklin as Isaac, but a lot of people aren't aware of the fact Franklin was actually an adult when he played the role - he was 24 years old at the time of filming. This time around the role of mini cult leader goes to an actual child in the form of Kate Moyer as Eden and she absolutely nails it!

Check this one out for yourselves. It's got some inventive kills, decent pacing and the leads do a substantial job of keeping you invested all the way through. The ending might be the weakest element of the entire movie but as remakes go, I've seen worse and this one is a lot better than people are giving it credit for.

This is the tenth iteration of children of the corn since the original, and God this is by far the worst. The acting is appalling, the special effects anything but and the score just as bad.

The whole thing feels like a kids lazy attempt at movie making over the summer holidays.

The story makes no sense whatsoever, the writing is shambolic and the acting is laughable.

Several scenes have actors looking for the camera, and those that find it look dazed and confused, which is apt for the movie.

I'd advise everyone to stay well away from this pile of garbage, and I beg the production companies of the world to please, please stop giving Kurt Wimmer money to make these abominations.

This was a hard one to get through. I don't even know what to say about this abomination. As other reviewers have said nothing makes sense the entire thing is just so unbelievable and laughably bad. Not that the original was great but it being the 80s I can forgive it, I don't know why they made and remade it a dozen times but I guess enough people watched them to make it profitable or maybe at least a tax write off but this one is beyond that. The writing is terrible, the acting isn't much better and the lead girl is just an annoying little punk who no one would ever follow. I watch enough horror to know they like to have ridiculous plots which I can forgive but an entire town of grown men, (farmers who aren't exactly soy boys) who somehow get taken prisoner and killed off by a group of 10 year olds and not a single one fights back lol nope. I never read the book so don't know how it works there but this was just stupid. Please retire this franchise.
