Summary: Freaky Movie
Review: I enjoyed this movie cause i like Horror movies with kids in them. The movie starts out with your ordinary Sunday morning Church service. Everyone in the town is going to the local cafe for an after-Church service dinner get together. Well, everyone is having a good time untill the kids show up and come into the dinner. They stand around till thier 9-year old leader come to window and gives them a signal. They kill all the adults. Then the movie comes back to present day and shows 3 kids helping thier sibling try to escape. The kid runs through the corn field, but Malachi gets him and slits his throat and throws him out into the road where this couple hit him. They ride into Gatlin and find there is no one there except kids. They find a little girl names Sarah who tells them whats all going on till the kids show up and take the wife away to sacrafice to "he who walks behind the rows" Thier leader is Issac. He tells all th ekids they need to get rid of all the adults...and they listen. Soon, her husband finds her in the corn field where the final showcase is and saves her and they rescue Sarah and her older brother Job they are the 2 kids that tried to help thier sibling escape) Its a pretty freaky movie. When the kids turn 19, they get a knife and engrave the star of the devil thing on thier chest and pass around the little blood dish to the other kids and give thierselves up to "he who walks behind the rows" good movie though, the storey stinked though in "Night Shift".

Summary: Save your time, and read the short story!
Review: I admit when I was six years old, this movie was a little creepy and made me think twice before passing a cornfield. Now, I look at it and wonder how I even made it past the second scene without falling asleep. The only tense scene in this movie is when Joseph is running through the cornfield. Other then that, it's a movie to watch when you're bored and having nothing better to do. It's not scary, and Isaac's ranting and raving can get on your nerves after awhile. If you want good horror, then read the short story by Stephen King.

Summary: Children of the Corn vs Village of the damned
Review: Ok here is what I have to say about children of the corn its not a nice story, gothic children slaughter people becuase of their religion, a man and his wife or going to that same town that the corn children took over, 3 years have passed since murders in the coffee shop and around the city of Gatlin, victims were apparently mutilated, they killed their parents, and destroyed eachothers families. The man stops the car to find that a boy's destroyed corpse lays in the highway, which was surrounded by cornfields. they enter the city where the nightmare begins, no population, nobody else's car drove nobody walking across the street, as silent as a ghost town. Then they find 2 survivors, a little girl and a boy, nothing else! then there was a gang children armed with blades, machettes, scythes, knives, too bad there was no police, there seems to be no laws in Gatlin, now that they are changed by insane children. Compared to village of the damned this story was more messed up then those villager kids !

Summary: Butter and salt
Review: Here it is, the movie that spawned eighty seven sequels, the movie that took a terse, hard-hitting short story and turned it into a child-narrated "feel good" horror movie with a peach of a happy ending.Admittedly, I probably only watched this because of the story. Simply enough, it involves an estranged couple that takes a wrong turn on a road trip, and ends up in crow's paradise where the children have risen up with Puritanical fury to strike down all of the adults in a town where corn is the stock in trade. The coolest part was the whole undercurrent about a degernerate secondary theology where the children worshipped some sort of monster that lived under the corn rows. They touched on this moderately in the movie, enough that you got the point, but much watered down where the story was concerned. In the movie, you have this really obnoxious, overacted junior televangelist that leads the rest of the children with his gawking, red-headed right hand man, an even more obnoxious teenager with a big fat knife. In this impromptu society, the average, strictly enforced lifespan is about eighteen or nineteen, give or take. Whe you reach the appropriate age, you get the honor of feeding yourself the lumpy horror under the corn rows---worshiped as God by the corn-cult of little tykes. The couple that stumbles onto this whole scene finds a deserted town with corn husks jutting out of every available orifice, nook and cranny. The wife (it's that chick from Terminator) gets nabbed and tied to a cross, prepared as a sacrifice for the monster. But, this being the movie, the husband manages to fall in with two of the "good" children, enabling him to charge in, defeat the god-monster, and save the day. I mean, it's okay I guess, but if you're really interested, you might prefer the story the story too in the book Night Shift. Now that was a good book. Children of the Corn itself is at least very far superior to the two hundred sequels that came blundering in its wake, grappling with the legendary Puppet Master saga in terms of lame sequels.

Summary: Still scares ...Me
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out in 1984. Scared ...a 9 year old girl. To this day, I can't walk passed a cornfield without shivering. It's definitely on its way to becoming a horror classic :D

Summary: Mixed up review...
Review: Everyone babbled to me about how scary it is, I must see it! Being a person who likes the genre, I saw it for 9.99 on DVD so I bought it. It is scary, but it is so different, the movie is clouded...that feeling you get like in Texas chain saw massacre...like, what the hell just happened? I liked it, however, but it was a tadd ahead of my memory. I like that the ending was 'happier' then the book's everyone dies ending. See it if you like scifi and low budget horror/cult movies. Not for everyone, but to me, it was fairly enjoyable. Classic? Maybe to some, but to me it was just a movie that uses religion and satin and weird stuff to make a scary ...movie...not classic, just pretty good.

Summary: Corny
Review: Children of the Corn is ninety excruciatingly long minutes of kids hacking up their parents and other adults who vex them. How about this, I'll sum up the movie with a few quotes. "He who walks behind the rows is displeased." (ooooooh)
"Outlander---I'll get you OUTLANDER!"
"Who did this?"
"Isaac."
"Malachai."
"Sacrifice, sacrifice!" It's really pretty awful, and the acting is worse. I'm not a fan of Stephen King, but I'm guessing his novella would have to be better than this. If you thought The Shining was bad, you're in for a special treat!
That said, it does have some things going for it. The cover is scary looking. The VHS copy has a raised sickle (I've never liked those things) and evil eyes watching from the corn stalks. And there is something genuinely creepy about a corn field. I don't know what else to say. Don't see this movie!!!

Summary: Still Scares Me!!!!!!
Review: I first saw this movie at about age 8 or 9. It scared me to death. Even at 25 you wouldn't catch me anywhere near a corn field. The music is really creepy and adds to the overall feel of this movie. Other reviewers have said this movie was bad or that the short story was better. I am a HUGE Stephen King fan and have read almost all of his books. I HATED the short story and thought it was boring after seeing the movie version. I grew up watching scary movies and most of them don't scare me anymore. This one does and probably will for the rest of my life. I would recommend this movie to anyone wanting a good scare.
