This was a okay film. The original Children of The Corn was better. Preston Bailey did a wonderful job in this one. The children of the corn series are phenomenal, but this one shouldn't done better but overall a okay one. ...
**Soulless adaptation that misses the whole point.** This film follows the short story almost identically, but fails to actually adapt the story. There is zero atmosphere, the characters are unwatchable instead of being entertainingly hateable, the build-up and reveals are non-existent, and to in ... crease the runtime, it is filled with terrible jumpscares and one extremely disgusting scene involving children. Don't watch this piece of garbage and let it fall into obscurity.
