Children of the Corn (Divimax Edition)

Summary: Children of the.................
Review: The children of the corn is based on a short story by Stephen King from his book called graveyard shift. I think that this film was really good, the reason why I write this is because I find that most of his films can be really dull, films like christine, it, sleepwalkers and langoliers are just a small example.
I don't think it was great but still think it was entertaining there wasn't enough blood maybe. It has to do with some weird religion that the kids are involved with that makes them kill their own parents or any adult that sets foot in their town Gaitlin.
They also make human sacrifices and worship this supernatural monster that buries itself beneath the earth. The Linda Hamelton character gets kiddnaped by the kids for being too nosey and her husband must save her, that's all I'm going to write about the story so I wouldn't ruin it for other people.
There have been alot of sequels after this film but I have not bothered to see them all since they had bad reviews on amazon.
I suggest that you should rent before you buy this film because it might not suite your taste.

Summary: FIELD OF SCREAMS
Review: The success ratio for Stephen King movies would not indicate what a successful writer Mr. King has been. This one, CHILDREN OF THE CORN, is one of his adaptations that isn't quite bad as some (Thinner, Cujo), but can't reach the best (Carrie, Dead Zone, Dreamcatcher). The short story is not one of King's real winners and adding padding to the story for the movie didn't help much. However, there is an eerie atmosphere within the movie, and the concept of a town ruled by children is to say the least unsettling.
Peter Horton's character, Burt, is annoying as he spends most of the time doing stupid things and arguing with his supposed significant other. Linda Hamilton is listless and unusually ineffective. The rest of the cast goes through the motions, although Courtney Gaines as Malachi has a malevolent presence that adds to the foreboding of the movie. John Franklin (who played Cousin Itt on THE ADDAMS FAMILY) neither looks nor sounds like a kid, but that might have been the director's intention. A quicker pacing would have also enhanced the level of suspense. Not dog doo doo, but not a real winner either.

Summary: Violence To The Next Level!
Review: These kids will stop at nothing to get whatever they want in this pyshcotic thriller.

A town that is run by demonic kids has not been disturbed for a while. But when two "adults" show up, these kids will stop at nothing to drive them away.

Summary: You'll never look at farm country the same again
Review: What is it about farm country? As we drive past the fields, we see nothing but green with the occasional rooftop or silo in the distance. What goes on deep in the fields? Who is out there? What is out there? Is that person or thing religious?

This is classic horror. The movie takes not just things we have looked out before, but things we have never really seen. We hear religious fundamentalist all the time on the TV and radio. We see corn fields often enough. But we never really think much about them. This story jumps into the imagination and makes the ordinary terrifying. This is a good story.

The movie takes the farm country and religious fundamentalism and wraps them together with a twist. A child, Isaac, gets visions, which tell him to create a new religion, killing all the adults. Further, no adults shall be suffered to live. His religion has some fundamentalist undertones, but also some bizarre rituals and ideas. Oddly enough, this movie doesn't actually insult religion, but seems to ask the question, "What if what they said was real?"

By no means is this movie worthy of an Oscar, but this movie was never intended to be. It was meant to thrill you a bit by showing you a slight twist to reality by playing with something we see every day. This is a must for horror fans.

Summary: kind of a bore...
Review: yea yea yea its a cult classic and very memorable...but why...stephen king is an amazing writer, but this is weak...its not very suspensful, not very well acted, the score tho is probably the best ive ever heard from a horror movie, but the story line is slow and at times very boring. And a lot of the characters are really annoying i mean, they make you want to take a gun to your TV annoying! Isaac, i wanted to slaughter that high pitched, midget friend of Dorothy, always complaining and going on! and malachae or w/e his name is...the dood with the red mullet and horse jaw....he annoyed me more than isaac...and whats with the stupid ending? the visual looks sooooo bad and soooo stupid! this movie as a whole just makes me mad....ok im changing the rating from a 3 to a 2. Only reasons its getting 2 stars is cuz the music is awesome and its by stephen king....other than that...its not worth it

Summary: EXCELENTE HISTORIA
Review: Yo ya tuve la oportunidad de adquirir este DVD por tan solo 55 PESOS, y en realidad si esta padre, es mejor que cuando la transmiten por la tele. SI ERES AMANTE DE LAS PELICULAS ANTIGUITAS. LA RECOMIENDO.
