Steineded How sad is this?

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

utgard14 Another pointless horror remake. This one lacking in anything suspenseful, frightening, or unique. The title children in this one aren't as menacing or creepy as in the original. Instead the viewer is put in the bizarre position of rooting against the protagonists. I just hated this couple and wanted them dead sooner rather than later. Their bickering was infuriating to watch and listen to. I found nothing sympathetic in either character and just wanted them gone, unlike the original film where I liked and cared for the two leads. The one positive I will say about the film is that Kandyse McClure is an exceptionally beautiful woman. Unfortunately she's wasted in this shrewish part. David Anders is also wasted. I'm familiar with the work of both of these leads from television shows and they are solid likable actors when given the right material. Here they are saddled with poor parts and that's a crying shame.

Chris The children of the corn was a very well good comeback. The children's cast did a great job. The children of the corn series is a phenomenal horror series and many audiences such as myself has been watching it for a very long time including the "Children of the Corn" (1984) classic. This remake brought the entire series back to life. Rating and Reviewing many horror films, family films, etc. "The Children of The Corn Series is by far my number one favorite horror series for all time." I recommend this remake including the classics to those who love children of the corn and the entire series. Like, I stated this remake has brought it back to life and it would be great to see more made beyond measure.------------- Overall, amazing performance by Preston Bailey and the entire children's cast. Great directing by Donald P. Borchers. Stephen King, a big thank you as well. Many audiences may not had like this remake but above all this was a good remake to keep the series flowing at it best. God bless Children of The Corn.

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.

djderka Basic plot: the very vivacious Vicky(Kandyse McClure)is sadly married to a dork "Marine" Burton (David Anders), he who acts like he barely passed Cub Scouts, travel to a small town in Nebraska and encounter biblical bigots hiding in the cornfields.I can't believe there aren't more movie with Kandyse in them. What happened? She is really cool...They find a body in the road and try and get him to "authorities". But bull headed Burton of course does everything his way despite the warnings to the contrary by Vicky.They get stuck in an abandoned town and in the worst case of oblivious ever on film, Vicky is tormented in her car, while Burton reads some old log books. Look up oblivious - it says see Burton in Children of the Corn. Oh, I forgot he is the only Marine totally oblivious of his surroundings. As I said...Cub Scout. He even fails to notice a bible thumper behind him with a sledge hammer while in an alley.So best line in the movie is when Burton finally comes out and says whoa! what are you doing to my babe. Little Issac (who should have been bitch slapped eons ago), says she is to be sacrificed. So this young, "tough" Marine says, "Just wait till I tell authorities". Could he be more of a weenie roaster?After 45 minutes of him on the run and thrashing about the cornfields, he finally finds Vicky.A message to Donald Borchers who wrote the movie...He who writes terrible scripts shall suffer condemnation and smitten by an inability to write and/or direct such movies...so saith the lord. And ye shall be banished among the bluemen. Amen.This movie is only worth viewing as long as Kandyse is on the screen, she is beautiful, has screen presence and can act, unlike everyone else in the movie. He who watches movies with beautiful girls shall watch many of them. Turn off the film as soon as she disappears after the car trashing scene. You are done with the movie.This could have been a great short. The couple is traveling down the road...he sees the body. They argue, he gets out of the car to enter the cornfield. She drives away leaving his ass behind. The End.
