 | Absolutely one of the BEST horror flicks out there. I mean they just dont make them like that anymore. The kids are frightening - the storyline great - and unlike some people it doesnt leave you with any "bored" feeling!

| This would have to be yet another terrible adaptation of a Stephen King short story. It concerns a young couple ,( one of them played by Linda Hamilton in an early role) who arrive at the deserted town of Gatlin to find everthing seems to be covered with corn leaves. Then the guy who I suspect will never be a candidate for Mensa finally figures out that something is very amiss. Gee. I hope this guy never attempts brain surgery. This movie is so bad that it doesn't even make the Grade for "Drive In Movie Theatre" fodder. I give this movie 5 stars because I like Linda Hamilton and was happy to see that she has gone on to better things. |

| This film is mediocre at best, a sad stretching of an originally FANTASTIC short story. The story comes from a book by Stephen King called NIGHT SHIFT. At the time of this the last good King film out was CREEPSHOW, and the well of King novels was getting shallow, so screenwriters began to delve into NIGHT SHIFT, and this was the first story they decided to butcher. First off I'm not saying this film is TERRIBLE, just incredibly lacking (I bought it anyway). Secondly, it is decently acted, although I can't stand the Linda Hamilton in anything else. Lastly, give it a shot, you could love it. And by the by, pick up NIGHT SHIFT, and read it. Amongst the wonderful stories are two I will reccomed you read first: "Strawberry Spring", and "The Booogeyman"...they're great. Be good to eachother, ta ta. |

| This film is absolutely perfect. This is one you can watch with your kids/parents. Children of the corn has a few scary moments but is mainly just an awesome thriller. Malachi and Isaac are awesome in this film. Stephen King is a genius and the plot to this movie is something almost as good as the original Halloween plot. This movie has what most horror flicks don't...Personality! Definetly pick this one up. |
