Classic Stephen King horror, hardly popping.

Common Sense Media

its dated look reminds us that horror movies were once made with only a camera and buckets of Karo syrup; not marketable teen models and computer-generated effects.

[Blu-Ray Review] Another trip down another mediocre road but presented in a way that makes it hard not to admire.

It's a--look, it has to be said--corny "B" horror flick with a certain je ne sais WTF about it. [Blu-ray]

I think congratulations to me are in order for not making a single "corn" joke!

How Children of the Corn continues to be so successful and popular 25 years after its release still remains a mystery ....

As ye sow, so shall ye reap - and for all its initial creepiness, in the end this Mid-western gothic yields a big cropful of corn.

• 1. Job: Don't worry, Mister. You'll be safe here. Isaac and Malachi don't know about this place.
  2. Dr. Burt Stanton: Enough! Who are Isaac and Malachi?
  3. Job: Isaac started the whole thing. He's a boy preacher who came to this town three years ago. At nine-years-old back then, he had a charming way that appealed to all the kids and teens like us to follow him with his own teachings of the bible and of the Old Testiment. But me and Sarah thought he was just plain weird.

• 1. Isaac: Don't just stand there! Seize him! Punish him! The Lord has chosen me as the bringer of His word and the giver of His laws! Disobedience to me is disobedience to Him! Do it now, or your punishment shall be a thousand deaths, each more horrible than the last!
  2. Malachi: They are tired of your talk, Isaac. I've shown them what I can do. Cut the woman down. Put Isaac in her place. We shall see how the Lord favors you.

• 1. Dr. Burt Stanton: What about Gatlin?
  2. Diehl: Gatlin! There ain't nothin' in Gatlin.
  3. Dr. Burt Stanton: What do you mean there ain't nothin' in Gatlin?
  4. Diehl: Well, folks in Gatlin's got a religion. They don't like outsiders, and they probably don't have a phone there either.
