    Children of the Corn (1984)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    In a small Nebraska town, children have slaughtered the adults and set up a sinister religious cult.

    A young physician (Peter Horton) and his girlfriend (Linda Hamilton) stumble into this terrifying community and encounter a variety of supernatural episodes. John Franklin is the lead weird/scary kid, Isaac.

    Based on Stephen King’s short story, the film is trite, poorly acted and filled with mumbo-jumbo dialogue. The thin, preposterous material generally unfolds at a slow pace.
