So how did such a mediocre film warrant six sequels (here’s a hint…it’s all about the money)? There’s the new. Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1993), Children of the Corn III (1995), Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering (1996), Children of the Corn V: Fields of Dread (1998), Children of the Corn 666: Isaac’s Return (1999), and Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001) …that’s a lot of corn, or as the Native Americans call it, maize…I’ve seen the fresh, but not the subsequent sequels…my gut instinct tells me to avoid them. Children of the Corn, aka Stephen King’s Children of the Corn (1984), directed by Fritz Kiersch (Tuff Turf, Gor) features a solid cast including Peter Horton (”thirtysomething”) and Linda Hamilton (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) . Also appearing is R.G. Armstrong (Dick Tracy), Courtney Gains (Colors, The ‘burbs) and John Franklin, who appeared 1991 film The Addams Family, along with its’ 1993 sequel, as the very hairy Cousin Itt.

The film, which primarily takes space in the diminutive farming town of Gatlin, Nebraska, begins with a flashback, relating a particularly shocking incident in where the children depopulate the town of nearly all adults through a obliging weak fashion bloodbath. Like A Flash forward three years to the indicate, and we have Burton (Horton) and his girlfriend Vicky (Hamilton) traveling through the Midwest as Burton has recently graduated from med school, and has been offered an internship somewhere…but that’s neither here nor there as the pair gather lost, have an accident, and soon secure themselves looking for wait on in Gatlin…but guess what? Gatlin appears all but deserted…except for the children, who’ve formed some kind of curious cult, led by the incredibly creepy man-child Isaac (Franklin) . Initially their idolatry seems to be centered on the corn, but later we learn it’s not so grand the corn as what lurks under the corn. Burton and Vicky soon regain themselves in a world of anxiety, as the corn is thirsting for holy sacrifices, and they’re at the top of the list (I wouldn’t mind initiating a religious ceremony with that Linda Hamilton…that is the soft and sexy Linda from the new Terminator movie, not the bony and intensely scary Linda from T2: Judgment Day) …
The film is based on a Stephen King short tale taken from his book Night Shift, which I’ve never read, but I have read a number of his other books, many of which were later adapted to film, with varying degrees of success…anyone else besides me sit through Maximum Overdrive? Okay, Children of the Corn isn’t as awful as that was, but it is lacking something…it’s not the acting…Horton, whom I abhor for no other reason than he was on that TV display `thirtysomething’ was actually dazzling worthy. As far as Linda Hamilton, well, I deem she’s a pleasurable actress, provided she’s given something to work with, and that wasn’t the case here. The accurate fun is watching the performances of Franklin and Gains, as Isaac and Malachai, respectively. Franklin is extremely disconcerting as the leader of the group, mainly because his appearance is that of a child, but a closer eye would invent you assume twice as his face and stutter seem to point to some great older. Turns out Franklin, who suffered from some sort of hormone deficiency, was actually considerable older, like 23 at the time of the film’s release. As far as Gains, he presents the most intense performance as Isaac’s enforcer and true hand man, but I felt like he got into it unprejudiced a slight too powerful (in the featurette Gains speaks of his craft and how he brought his character to the shroud…I do luxuriate in it when actors give to the camouflage, but I mediate Gains took his modest role a bit too seriously, trying to accomplish more of it than it was…but since the production in general was blooming bland, this overacting wasn’t necessarily unwelcome) . These two guys approach off really obedient as the antagonists, mainly because they’re so completely annoying I wanted to beat them both to a pulp (wait for the scene when Malachai is walking down the center of the street calling for Burton to approach out, yelling `Outlander!”…you’ll understand what I mean by annoying) . As far as the direction, I have no right complaints, as Kiersch seems splendid…in the featurette he speaks a lot of what he was trying to achieve with regards to the sense of direction, and in some areas I reflect he met his goal, but others I deem his aspirations extended beyond his capabilities. So what’s the plight with the film? It’s the legend…well, not the current account, but the adaptation of the epic. As I said, I’m familiar with many of King’s works, and I know he takes a lot of time to craft his tales, utilizing detail like it was going out of style. I reflect one of the things that makes his narrative so approved is his ability to paint a visual using words…and he also seems to do this in terms that are accessible to an extremely wide audience. And I believe this is a main factor that ends up hurting many of the films that are adapted from his novels…they lack the focus on what’s essential to the memoir. I judge this is why we are seeing his more current works produced as television mini-series…because more time can be spent developing the yarn and presenting the details, in my view.

I saw this movie when it came out in ‘84 and have had some outlandish connection to it ever since.

What’s to like? Well, what has always struck me is how well the children are adapted to the surroundings. I actually Beget that these children lived in Gatlin “before” the filming of the movie. They seem very at home and the cramped town feel is somehow legitimate. The sound is very excellent for an older flick, being given the 5.1 treatment, and the fetch itself is practially worth seeing the movie for… I unbiased treasure that chanting “Omen-ish” win, always have. The transfer I’d say is above average, though in places it falters a bit, there is also a elegant insert book that comes with it which is recent for a rather lowbudget movie. I really like all the leads here, specifically the study on young Sarah’s face when “Vickie” is taken out to the clearing, she honestly looks to be in dismay, I almost feel sorry for the young actress.
What’s to despise? Well, aside from the peculiar smalltown feel there really aren’t many chills from a apprehension movie standpoint. Also, I’ve never really liked the waste, often turning it off b4 the abominable CG ending, but hey, this is ‘84 afterall.
If you have a few dollars and are looking for a somewhat surreal peep at shrimp town life, you could do worse than giving Children Of The Corn a examine.
