About this movie

A young couple travelling cross-country find themselves stranded in the small town of Gatlin, where they meet a mysterious religious cult of children. With no adults in sight the terror brews as the new arrivals find the secrets of the prospering corn fields and the children who inhabit them. Led by the mysterious Isaac and the unhinged Malachi, the blood-curdling secrets of the children of Gatlin are soon revealed to their new 'outlander' guests. Featuring stellar performances from Linda Hamilton (Terminator) and Peter Horton (Thirtysomething) and based on a short story by Stephen King, 'The Children of the Corn' is a horror classic that has spawned multiple sequels and imitators, but none as harrowing as this masterpiece of horror.

Ratings and reviews

Omg I've had this on wishlist for over a year I think & would have missed that was available to buy had I not found it by chance - I thought Google were supposed to notify us? Apart from that, obviously I love this movie to death & don't get the hate for it at all. It's got every quintisential King trope you could want. Add to that the superb acting & set's this is one of the best adaptations going.

WATCHED ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE CORN MOVIE'S AND THEY HAVE SOME GOOD SCARES BUT WORTH WATCHING
